try fairmont out by manayunk. I interviewed with them a little over a year ago. I interviewed with them and they offered me a per diem position. I didn't accept it but, they called quickly after applying to them.
I went to kent state and graduated in their accelerated program about a 1.5yrs ago. Don't know what the hospital cohort is, they used to hold informational meetings on their programs call the school of nursing to get more answers to your questions.
I graduated from the program last summer I can answer any questions you may have except the interview stuff since that didn't exist when I went. Send me a message and I'll respond as I get time.

Hope the interview went well,I did full-time during the week, they didnt have those other options when I was in the program. The semester difficulty varied depending on if you have taken the classes that you can take in advance and have gotten them o...
I didn't work while in the program, I actually left a full time job to go back to school. Some people did work part time though. It just depends on you and how you learn. Some semesters are tougher than others so your time requirements for school wi...

I would think of it like Kaplan's don't pass the buck situations for number 2. Number 3 works because it allows you to still administer the medication on time and safely.

I didn't attend CSU but encountered some of their students while in clinical's. All their clinicals are based out of the CCF, thats the only question I can answer.
Erica, Go on Amazon and find the book, then click the tab under the cover of the book that says look inside. They show the first two chapters of the book and all of the answer pages. This includes all the pages you have listed.
Dani, I was accepted in the summer which are usually the most difficult since they consist of less time. Other than that the fall and spring semesters are scheduled identically to the way a traditional student is in class(we just tend to have a bigg...
