Has anyone taken the Excelsior College exam for Anatomy and Physiology for Johns Hopkins school of nursing. My A &P is more than 5 yrs old and they want me to take the courses online. I'm hoping there is someone out there who has taken it so as t...

I thought calls where only for the masters program. Don't think ABSN applicants get called notifying admittance.

Thanks so much for your Pearls of wisdom! Im very much interested in going to OR nursing after I graduate. Can you give advice on how to survive nursing school and what good skills to hone into to be a more efficient OR nurse. I've heard getting crit...

This is what I'm so paranoid about. Not finding a nursing job after I graduate from the nursing program and investing thousand of dollars. I don't want to have this huge gorilla on my back and no income coming in to pay for the massive debt. This is ...

i know this post is more than a year old. Did you figure out how to pay for the Accelerated program??

hey thanks for the feed back on JHU nursing. I can't find the student blogs. So u mind cutting and pasting the links?

Why did you switch to traditional to accelerated nursing program??

This post is a year old...are you still a recruiter for JHU? Was interested in asking some questions....Thanks!

Thank you Rockkstarr!! I appreciate your pearls of wisdom. This really helped a lot. Sorry for the delayed reply. Im still wacking away at question #2. By the time Im done Im soooo exhausted and pass out in bed LOL. Thanks for the link also. Seems li...

Hi Rockkstarr Thanks for the reply. Im done with question 1 & 3. Still stressing over the critical thinking. Dont know if they want a clinical experience or what. I was thinking of issues with co-workers but wouldnt that be core valuese??? Heck I...

How would you guys answer these questions. What experiences have you had in the field that enabled you to obtain the skills and values that you have or have strengthened due to your working environment. THANK YOU for your responses ahead of time. 1....

OH my gosh! Thank you so much! This definitely helped me narrow down what experience I wanted to talk about. Wasn't sure it was a strong enough experience to put down on my essay but thanks for the clarification/direction. Is it at all possible to em...

Hey Stacy! I will be applying for both the traditional and accelerated program. Have you spoken to anybody in both programs to get an idea of the pace?? I would love to finish in 13mths but don't know if I can hang with the pace. Im really stressing ...

Hey thanks for you response Daytonite. I added the "What experiences have you had in the field that enabled you to obtain the skills and values that you have or have strengthened due to your working environment" As a general question that Im asking p...

My dream is to go to Yale's Masters program. Congrats on getting in!!....Can I email you with more questions? let me know! THanks!

Hey are you still around on the forums...would like to ask you a few questions.

No worries I got rejected too and I'm glad they did. They are snobbish and didn't care for the interviewers. They pretty shut me down before I even opened my mouth. Your GPA is way higher than mine so Im surprised they didnt accept you. If I were you...

Sorry but SAMUEL MERRITT is not a very good ABSN. The nurses coming out of that school are not up to par at all.

Fudge! Georgetown! full of stuck ups and only look at GPA and not why you want to be a nurse. Frankly this field is inundated with nurses just doing it for the money. GU is only concerned with stats and how to make their program better qualified to m...

Hey! Im currently applying to JH nursing school. I would love to discuss ideas on the application essays. Im stuck on a couple of essays and its really stressing me out. I hope you reply to this post! Any tips is greatly appreciated!

Hi am also applying to JH nursing program. Im actually sitting her at 2am trying to think of ways to answer their applications essay. Any tips you may have is greatly appreciated! How did you apply without finishing the pre-requisites first??

By far the best put together essay I've read so far in this forum. Finally someone that writes articulately and eloquent. Kudos to you and I hope you got into the program. Keep me post as I am trying to get into nursing school as well.

I totally agree with Daytonite. It sounds too leave it to Beaverish. I wouldn't take you seriously. I would like to hear more of your skills and what makes you a strong candidate. Sorry but even God couldn't get you into the RNFA with this essay. You...

oh my gosh! Thank you sooo much Sand Dollar! The second essay about the car accident really helped! I thought of a lot of emergency situations that I've dealt with in the past and Im going to elaborate on one of those. This really helped! Thanks so m...

Did you ever get anybody to help you with your nursing essay questions? I am also applying to Johns Hopkins nursing program and I am in the same predicament. Please let me know if you got into the nursing program and how your experience was. I would ...
