  1. Got offered my dream job today...

    oaktown2 replied to SweettartRN's topic in General Nursing

    Obviously, you need to decide what is best, but maybe not counting on her is part of the problem. If she isn't expected to do anything, what is her motivation to help? Maybe having someone start to...

  2. Military psych

    oaktown2 replied to deftonez188's topic in Government, Military

    I too am interested in the answers to this. I am a little behind you deftonez188, applying for NNCP this year along with starting my nursing program, but am also interested in learning more about...

  3. Summer Nursing Internship in Africa! Need Help!

    oaktown2 replied to PatMac10,RN's topic in General Nursing

    What I have always heard regarding fundraising is ask, ask, ask. Ask everyone you know. You never know when your cause is going to resonate with someone. You can't just ask once and assume that if...

  4. Emory Accepted Students Fall 2011

    oaktown2 replied to Shiningstar05's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Hi molls11 - I still have prereqs so that doesn't have anything to do with the aid. I would contact one of the advisors to see what the issue is. I am only able to seeing Federal things, but that...

    Did anyone hear anything about the latest round of

  7. University of Oklahoma Nursing Progam - San Diego

    oaktown2 replied to SimbaSam's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not certain if this program actually exists anymore. I believe a new company was going to take it over (Orbis - they run some other online nursing programs) and they didn't get fianl approval....

  8. Emory Accepted Students Fall 2011

    oaktown2 replied to Shiningstar05's topic in Georgia Nursing

    @dancingnurse13 - I think most of us on this thread are BSN students. There was another thread of people applying to Emory for the Fall and there were at least some ABSN students, so you might want...

  9. Nurses with high student loans and NCP acceptees over here please!

    oaktown2 replied to suiteums's topic in Government, Military

    Can you do a masters entry program through NCP? I thought it was for BSN programs with a max of 24

  10. What is a good resource for learning medical Spanish?

    oaktown2 replied to IfnotnowWhen's topic in General Nursing

    I had started this, but then got distracted, so I can't comment on it much, but they have an online version and it is medical spanish specific.

  11. ASVAB for (Nursing) Officers

    oaktown2 replied to oooitzsharon's topic in Government, Military

    This is what I was told by my Navy recruiter. My understanding is the the ASVAB is not required for officers, only for enlisted. However, I believe that the Army does require it for those applying...

  12. **Samuel Merritt ABSN Summer 2011**

    oaktown2 replied to thebread's topic in California Nursing

    @RNC.C - you are a second bachelors and was accepted to SFSU? Or were you accepted to the masters program? The debt is definitely something to consider. I personally have a hard time justifying...

  13. HR recruiter sending me friend request on FB??

    oaktown2 replied to Emile's topic in General Nursing

    Since she is a recruiter, I imagine that she is just keeping her network large. But I also think it is valid for you to be able to keep your work and personal life separate. If you wanted to keep...

  14. Employer's negative response to Reserves

    oaktown2 replied to tahoe77's topic in Government, Military

    tahoe77 - I would go for it, the worst that can happen is that you don't get selected and then you decide if you want to try again. I'm in a similar position (though I am trying for new grad slots)...

  15. Samuel Merritt - Oakland, Fall 2011 ELMSN-FNP

    oaktown2 replied to RosePetalss's topic in California Nursing

    I don't know who you need to contact in admissions, but I called them yesterday just after 5 (though I called a specific person, not a general line) and they picked up right away. I don't know if I...

  16. Accelerated bsn philadelphia

    oaktown2 replied to acceleratedbsn's topic in General Nursing

    For pass rates, your best bet is to look at the website of your state Board of Nursing. There may also be differences in how things are reported - ie a program may say indicate that they have a 93%...

  17. Emory Accepted Students Fall 2011

    oaktown2 replied to Shiningstar05's topic in Georgia Nursing

    ATI gives you an option of seeing a pdf of your score report. If Emory isn't an option, then sending them the pdf is probably all they need. Some of the other schools I am applying to just ask for...

  18. Want to become NAVY NURSE!*Need Advice!! :)

    oaktown2 replied to vrfdd123's topic in Government, Military

    Correct, I was not able to start the process without an acceptance. The process seems to depend on how many pieces of paper you need to collect - transcripts, medical records, etc. I am in the...

  19. Accelerated bsn philadelphia

    oaktown2 replied to acceleratedbsn's topic in General Nursing

    So, my research into this led me to believe that there are no easy answers to this question. Your least expensive option is usually ADN programs, however, there are a lot of threads out there that...

  20. Want to become NAVY NURSE!*Need Advice!! :)

    oaktown2 replied to vrfdd123's topic in Government, Military

    @josephstrahan - so did you apply as a new graduate for active duty? I am currently applying for the Navy NCP programs, but if that doesn't work out I am hoping to apply as a new grad, but I wasn't...

  21. laney college oakland

    oaktown2 replied to cookiemonster84's topic in California Nursing

    I don't believe that Laney does have a nursing program. Merritt does, which is a sister school, but that is the only school in the Peralta system that I know of that has a nursing

  22. Emory Accepted Students Fall 2011

    oaktown2 replied to Shiningstar05's topic in Georgia Nursing

    mavejoy - you can do the TEAS six days a week at a PearsonVUE location. It's definitely more expensive than if you do it through a school, but it does allow you to take it pretty much whenever you...

  23. Emory Accepted Students Fall 2011

    oaktown2 replied to Shiningstar05's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Ah well, good to know when they should start

  24. Emory Accepted Students Fall 2011

    oaktown2 replied to Shiningstar05's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Nope, but then my tax return didn't show up until 3/1, so I wasn't expecting anything super fast. But it would be nice to know. I'm feeling like Emory is going to be pretty tough to swing...

  25. Can a 52 y/o nurse join the army reserve nursing corp?

    oaktown2 replied to ally59's topic in Government, Military

    If you contact a recruiter, you need to make sure that you are talking to a healthcare recruiter. Calling the general recruitment office can give you the phone number (and location) of the healthcare...
