  1. ACNP - Will I be missing out?

    soon2bnurstudent replied to Apple2020's topic in Advanced Practice

    I am a FNP and I work in the ED in the same capacity as my ED PA colleagues. We are, in fact, literally interchangeable as far as our jobs are concerned (even to the point of staffing model/swapping...

  2. Marymount Accelerated Fall 2011

    soon2bnurstudent replied to Mamz1's topic in Virginia Nursing

    Yes, you do get to pick your start time for classes. As far as getting your class schedule/selecting classes, if my memory serves me correctly, it wasn't very long after I accepted the admission...

  3. Marymount Accelerated Fall 2011

    soon2bnurstudent replied to Mamz1's topic in Virginia Nursing

    Yes, you will have classes the summer of 2013. It is possible for you to have classes and clinicals the same day (clinicals are done by a lottery system), but I don't know many people who encountered...

  4. Marymount Accelerated Fall 2011

    soon2bnurstudent replied to Mamz1's topic in Virginia Nursing

    80K? Good point, windsurfer 8! Although the OP mentioned 17K in undergraduate loans, I didn't really do the math. That is a significant amount of debt and an ADN would be much less expensive, at...

  5. Marymount Accelerated Fall 2011

    soon2bnurstudent replied to Mamz1's topic in Virginia Nursing

    I know a couple of people who did the MU program who did not have cars. MU will assume that you have transportation to and from any site or activity and they make it pretty clear that they have no...

  6. ED NP/NP job saturation

    soon2bnurstudent replied to Reagan622's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    @SkiBumNP...it sounds like you are doing exactly what I would like to be doing and so far I am following the track you have recommended. I graduated with my BSN, went right into an FNP program and I...

  7. GMU accelerated

    soon2bnurstudent replied to Pointe1978's topic in Virginia Nursing

    Ah...I finished the ABSN program at Marymount in May so I definitely understand the cost issue but I'm still glad I opted for January entry. Have you looked into hospital scholarships? I know some...

  8. Networking Opportunities for Nursing Students

    soon2bnurstudent replied to sincerelyjane's topic in Virginia Nursing

    Try looking up organizations related to specialties you may be interested in, e.g. Emergency Nursing Association, Society of Pediatric Nurses, etc. Most organizations offer a reduced-fee student...

  9. GMU accelerated

    soon2bnurstudent replied to Pointe1978's topic in Virginia Nursing

    Your grades and experience are impressive so you probably have a good chance of getting into many programs. That being said, what is making you think about waiting until Fall 2012? I was in just the...

  10. New Graduate jobs in MD,VA,DC areas

    soon2bnurstudent replied to Bellissimo's topic in Maryland Nursing

    It is definitely about timing so if you are a December grad I would definitely start looking NOW! In FL, I am not familiar with the Central FL market, but I did find lots of opportunities in Broward...

  11. New Graduate jobs in MD,VA,DC areas

    soon2bnurstudent replied to Bellissimo's topic in Maryland Nursing

    Congrats on passing the NCLEX! Here (at the hospitals in the DC and Baltimore area) it is NOT normal to go to the unit in person and speak with the nurse manager. In fact, the behavior would...

  12. Marymount Accelerated Fall 2011

    soon2bnurstudent replied to Mamz1's topic in Virginia Nursing

    I graduated from the ABSN program at MU in May 2011 and just wanted to add what I consider a vital piece of information...the program definitely has a high NCLEX pass rate. Our class has stayed in...

  13. CCNE vs NLN accreditation

    soon2bnurstudent replied to springgarden's topic in General Students

    CORRECTION: NLNAC accredits LPN, diploma, ADN, BSN AND Graduate programs. You can do a program search by visiting http://www.nlnac.org/forms/directory_search.htm CCNE accredits BSN and graduate...

  14. Marymount Accelerated Fall 2011

    soon2bnurstudent replied to Mamz1's topic in Virginia Nursing

    IMHO it's a good program. The NCLEX pass rate is high and the 16 months go by quickly. I couldn't imagine fitting all the information into 12 months. Doing it in 16 was very

  15. Marymount Accelerated Fall 2011

    soon2bnurstudent replied to Mamz1's topic in Virginia Nursing

    I went through the ABSN program at MU and would not suggest that you work if you don't have to, for at least the 1st semester until you get your feet wet and see how you adjust. It is a demanding...

  16. NVCC RN v GMU accelerated BSN RN

    soon2bnurstudent replied to lmm11's topic in Virginia Nursing

    I can't tell you anything about the GMU program, but what you said about INOVA is true. INOVA achieved Magnet status a few years ago. BSN and MSN prepared nurses are essential to achieving and...

  17. Marymount Accelerated BSN - Spring 2010

    soon2bnurstudent replied to Pokytrokyt's topic in Virginia Nursing

    Yes, you should be able to get away with it. The ones I wear to clinical have a little strip of silver also and it's never been a

  18. Have you taken online A/P at NVCC in Virginia?

    soon2bnurstudent replied to jhancock01's topic in Virginia Nursing

    Unless something has changed since last year when I took Bio 141/142, there are no on-campus labs. The only thing I went on campus for was the exams and you can arrange to have those proctored at a...

  19. Marymount Accelerated BSN Program Fall 09

    soon2bnurstudent replied to eileen9953's topic in Virginia Nursing

    Not sure, but consider starting a new thread with a current title, i.e. Marymount Accelerated BSN Fall 2010. It will help facilitate communication between you and other current applicants. Good...

  20. Marymount second degree nursing pre-req

    soon2bnurstudent replied to swtgurl's topic in Virginia Nursing

    Sorry, I don't know anything about GW's program but there's probably a DC nurses forum; chances are there's a thread about their program

  21. Marymount second degree nursing pre-req

    soon2bnurstudent replied to swtgurl's topic in Virginia Nursing

    Since your manager is a health professional, that should be helpful also. As far as taking the ATI, if you get a good score it definitely won't hurt, but I would say that it depends on your...

  22. Marymount second degree nursing pre-req

    soon2bnurstudent replied to swtgurl's topic in Virginia Nursing

    I personally submitted everything with my application, whether it was required or not, i.e. academic recommendations, personal essay, and ATI test scores. None of these are necessarily required but...

  23. Marymount second degree nursing pre-req

    soon2bnurstudent replied to swtgurl's topic in Virginia Nursing

    When I applied to MU I was in the process of completing a pre-req and had another to complete prior to starting classes. I can't say that it wasn't considered during the admission process, but I was...

  24. Marymount Accelerated BSN - Spring 2010

    soon2bnurstudent replied to Pokytrokyt's topic in Virginia Nursing

    Congratulations on graduating, lnt3! I am in my 1st semester in the ABSN program at MU and I definitely agree with you regarding GMU's program. I am only 3 weeks into the MU program and the timeline...

  25. Marymount Accelerated BSN Program Fall 09

    soon2bnurstudent replied to eileen9953's topic in Virginia Nursing

    Definitely submit your application by the 1st round deadline for ALL the schools you're applying to. The sooner you know about acceptances or denials, the easier your selection process. Also at some...
