labries, PHS does offer bonuses for nurses, 20,000 for 4 years I think. But if you are wanting money to pay off school, IHS has the best deal; Loan repayment program up to $40,000 for to year obligation with the option to extend for a year (another $...

I haven't worked in CA, but there are mostly prisons where you would be working. 1. Once you get into your facility/agency, you could technically stay there until retirement but the goal of a USPHS officer is to move up and around. You have to apply...

River, Yes there are some areas you will have to drive to, but that depends on where your clinical placement is. For example, I went to Paoli for OB, Delaware for Peds, and had Med/surg, Tele and critical care was at Jeff (so I walked about a block ...

Hey River! I am not sure how it is going to be commuting from NYC, that seems a little rough but as far as you being able to have kids in the program; I have 3 kids who were older while in the program and my husband took care of most of the family st...

I just graduated from the FACT program in 2012! There are good and bad with any university you go to, believe me when I say this becuase Jeff was my 8th university (I have a BS in Psychology)Overall I feel that Jeff was a really good school and basic...

Atomic Woman, Thank you for the information, sadly we still have to wear those aweful pants you are talking about. I had asked because I was a CNA a couple of years ago and we were provided uniforms and those were the pants and yes they are the most ...

Here's a thread I started a long time ago about things to get out of the way before you start school: Things to get out of the way NOW if you are starting in the Spring - Nursing for Nurses AW, I looked at your link above and it is exetremely helpful...

RX, I met Tibby as well, and he was telling me about the same thing, I have been weighing out the options in my own head and this is what I have come up with... The Itouch is expensive (I am looking at the $300 one) but as far as a smartphon...

For those of you that are currently in the Fact program or have graduated recently (MPH and AW), I have been debating on what type of electronics is best to get for the program; my thoughts are Itouch or to get a smart phone (I am up for the new ever...

From what I have been looking at you can get a loan from the government up to 12,500 max. and then from there you can get private loans, the school has a list of preferred lenders and when I was looking at the suntrust website it looks like I could p...

Hey all! I was already accepted to TJU, I called the Financial aid office because I am going to have to get enough loans to pay for all this, they told me that I need to wait to apply until next Jan. but I really want to get started with the process ...

Congrats Gianna L!

CPinPhilly: I used academic references but I would look on the website or call the admissions office and ask them about whether or not you can use academic or professional references.

I am... but I have called TJU to ask about loans and things and I have to wait until Jan. or Feb. before I can do anything

Congrats on your interview, I am sure you will hear back soon! It is the most exciting and nerve racking thing that you will do... waiting. Good luck and hold tight with the waiting process.

I am planning on going, I think that of the schools I have looked at and got accepted too, TJU is perfect for me it has definitely been my first choice all along! I am not sure if I will live on or off campus, I guess it depends on how well I can hag...

I just checked my email and I and I WAS ACCEPTED! Schick, congrats on your acceptance! I guess we will see each other in May 2011!

Shick672, How did your interview go? She told me a week or 2 as well. Today marks 1 week since my interview, I haven't heard anything yet but I am so nervous. It's killing me as well. Good luck!

I got my undergrad at Fayetteville State University and my GPA was a 3.9 from there. I was pretty nervous too but I tried to prepare myself as much as possible. It wasn't bad once in there because the way she presented the questions it was more like ...

I applied on August 23rd 2010 for the Spring 2011 start date and I recieved an invitation for an interview on September 9th. I live in North Carolina and I drove up there last week and stayed the night and looked around the city and all. I think the ...

Well... I am not really sure, but the application asked for volunteer work, and there were 4 essay questions (they were pretty short) This is usually just to get a feel for your writing skills and who you are. It sounds like if you did good in your p...

I had a 3.9 GPA in my Undergrad, but I do not think they look at your undergrad GPA as much as they look at your prereq GPA and that you have a good statement and all that.

I just got my letter of acceptance and I am so excited and nervous at the same time! I turned in all of my information on July 9th and I just recieved my acceptance letter yeseterday (it took 8 weeks exactly)! So, hold out a little longer and you sho...
