Before I got accepted into nursing school, I went to school to become an MA. Currently I work in a hospital in the lab. I was interested in going to CNA route per diem once I move to PA for nursing school, but to get trained and certified costs a lot...

The official acceptance packet did not have any of that information in it. I believe we receive out compliance package in February or March.

I tried searching for it just now and it hasn't come up

I already paid the deposit for Drexel and have basically committed to that program. I have not heard at all from Penn, so I figure I'm already out of the running for that. Good luck with your interview!!

I just took the NLN for fall admission and got over 100 also. My science gpa is 3.3 and my overall gpa (so far) is 3.26. I have 63 out of 70 prerequisite credits complete. I got admitted into another nursing school that is more expensive, but takes...

The ACHIEVE program at LaSalle University (in Philadelphia I assume you are talking about) is not just an LPN bridge program, it is also for non nursing students. Yes, everyone is required to finish the prerequisite courses as well as take the NLN en...

Since you already have a degree, you won't have to retake the SATs or even show them your scores. Unfortunately though, since it would be a second Bachelor's degree, you are still considered an undergraduate. Some institutions, however, would consid...

How would we go about getting our fingerprints done ahead of time? I had gotten them done a couple months ago for another program...I got them done in NJ. Would this suffice, or do we have to go through Drexel?

The compliance package will have information on CPR certifications, physicals, background checks, etc. Stuff that's important and what the school needs in order for us to start clinical rotations. If I were you, I'd get started on the Hep B vaccinati...

I believe the second Hep B shot is to be administered 6 months after the first, but I'm not sure if that's the second or third vaccine, so don't quote me on that. Did you get your compliance package soon after you paid the deposit?

I'm also graduating in May with my first degree. I was on the fence about where to live, more so because I don't think I know anyone that lives in Center City or University City, and I'd rather live with someone I know. My best friend lives in Cherry...

Has anyone that paid their deposit gotten the compliance package yet? I haven't paid the deposit yet (I will next week), but I'd like to know if Drexel sends them out as soon as you pay or what.

Stiles Hall are the Graduate dorms provided by Drexel that we're allowed to live in. ACE students, pre med/law and some of the other upper level health professions live there too. Unless you make arrangements with another ACE student to be roomies, D...

Once you get your official acceptance letter in the mail, you have 60 days from the time you receive that letter to pay the deposit.

The general consensus on this forum is that it doesn't matter where you go for nursing school, your degree is what matters (BSN is becomming the preferred degree for employment). It seems that the opinion here is that employers only see the endpoint,...

Congratulations scy!! I don't think there is a group started for fall yet. There is a Facebook group for ace students in general. It's extremely helpful.

Your chances sound really great!! Hopefully you should be hearing from them any day now, it seems like a lot of students heard back around December/January. Keep checking Discover Drexel though, my portal was the first thing to change (I got a decisi...

I just received my official acceptance letter, but I have a question. In the box at the bottom where it indicates which program you've been accepted to, it says Housing Code. For mine, it says commuter - I selected that on my application because I wa...

My advice is: if you can, try and apply to as many schools as you can. Also try and apply early in the application cycle also

Wow, you heard back from Villanova already? I thought their deadline was March 1st? I was going to apply there, but I'm still not sure. Since you applied in mid October (before or after the deadline?), you might not be hearing from them until later o...

I live in Jersey and I had the same situation with my classes. I had to rush and beg my professors to calculate them (because some of them "forgot to"). I just faxed and mailed mine over on Monday, so hopefully we find out soon.

I just realized this thread was posted in the "General Nursing Student" section. Is there any way we can move it to the PA nursing programs section of the site? I think maybe we'd come across more Drexel ACE people.
