Good luck! I wish you a quick and easy delivery and pray you delivery a healthy, happy baby.

I can't count the number of times I've been asked "so and so is going to be 'sick' on wednesday, will you be able to cover?" Please people, switch shifts with people or plan ahead.

Hi everyone, I was accepted today! Anyone else doing the gerontological/adult NP program? I'm so excited - I kinda want to run to the store and start looking at the white shoes. Can't wait to get to know all of you, we're going to have a fun/scary/a...

You forgot where we are all dying to sleep to doctors like on Grey's Anatomy...

Haha! I already appreciate it! I love it everytime I get carded at the liquor store (and my friends don't). My mom got carded (seriously, not as part of we id under 99) until she was 39...I'm hoping to beat her!

Anyone else get questions about their age? I look super young and people are always asking where the adult is when I respond on EMS calls. The high school truancy officer even stopped me the other day because I was obviously cutting school (at 24......

did anyone attend the adult nurse practitioner program? did they have any information the gerontological nurse practitioner option? I don't have my admissions decision yet (I was a late applicant) but really wanted to go this weekend. I applied for ...

I've seen both sides of this issue. I've dealt with lots of drug seekers - we have an ER doc here that works at multiple facilities and has seen the same patient hours apart at different hospitals asking for the same drugs. However, I had a pericar...

Tannersville outlets off I-80 have a discount uniform place. Pretty good selection, and offer a bunch of different brands. Sometimes it's hard to find "traditional" sizes (non-tall/petite/plus size) in everything, but if you look you can always fin...

Private rooms for everyone. I wish I didn't have to see an elderly person dying (literally waiting for next of kin...) sharing a room with a drunk college student. Oh, and no more need for hallway beds - I was a pt in one once...which was great be...

Oh, and congrats to those of you who were accepted.

denied. I know you asked for the accepted students but still...we compare what didn't work. GPA: 3.6+ Bio major with minors in human development/family studies and gerontology 1000+ hours of EMS community service, Dept of Health EMS instructor Bio-c...

While I'm not a Nursing Educator (yet), I am an EMT-instructor, so I thought I would throw my 2 cents in. The idea of the drill sargent instructor being the best instructor is still rampant in EMS - however, I don't find that that approach works. I ...

Every school is a little different. But, this has been my overall experience across 3 different schools. Generally, you don't need to be online at any specific time. We dont have the prof giving a live lecture. 2 classes had almost a manuscript of t...

I have a verizon phone (Samsung fascinate) which has the Android operating system. I'm not a nurse yet, by I am a student, nursing research assistant, and EMT. I was able to download lots of great free (and inexpensive) apps that help with meds/con...

Would some of you who said no/unsure be willing to share your reasoning? I'm looking to go into nursing and would appreciate hearing from people who don't necessarily love their job.

While I agree completely with the above statements. U Penn offers an accelerated BSN --> MSN program that includes their CRNA program. Rarely do people actually get pre-admitted to their CRNA program, but it is an option. Also, you will be expe...

Originally my parents weren't that supportive of my switch to nursing - until I proved to them that I was picking nursing because I wanted to be a nurse, not because I was looking to take easier classes (yeah, I started school studying medical physic...

Eck...One of my community colleges didn't submit my transcripts (all I took was art history...) and my mom is picking it up to send to them Monday afternoon. I'm really nervous it won't get there in time...

Because I'm a Penn State student, I've only been able to send the email that says "I intend to file for re-enrollment" so I haven't gotten a letter yet. I'm afraid it's going to hurt me that I'm a biology major (which is super hard) instead of somet...

Has anyone had their interview yet? How did it go? Any suggestions on what to expect?

Hi, I'm applying to their program too. I have a a GPA of ~3.6...I really hope it's high enough. I can't seem to find any information on what they're looking for. Every other school I'm applying to wants essays and a resume, they only want my GPA.

You might do better to look into a LPN/LVN then onto an RN bridge program, they tend to be a little more forgiving and you will still be able to get where you want to go. I have several friends who are doing this. Also, it would be worth actually c...

Congrats! That's wonderful news. I hope you get into a great program!

Definitely talk to an ad visor from the program you want to enter to see what they recommend. My experience is that sometimes they can combine courses to give you credit for a single course, be sure to bring your syllabus when you talk to them thoug...
