Thanks! What I like about CNS is the ability to work as an educator, not just to patients but to other staff and maybe even one day to students. It seems to have versatility and broader possibilities than other advanced degrees. To me, it seems kind ...

Yes, some have heard back. You can PM me if you want. I am glad to hear they are still interviewing candidates, because so far the class size is quite small!

what an awesome attitude :heartbeat

Hello, I appreciate your account thank you!! I have been looking for JH ABSN people here, and have found so few posts that I assumed they are all too busy to write here! Everyday I am thinking about what it's gonna be like. In January, I'll start the...

hey don't take it so personally, those tests don't reflect your intelligence :) only test taking skills

what was your first degree?

how sweet :)

Hello! I've applied to that program as well. Have you gotten your decision yet? I am anxiously awaiting!

Don't be intimidated by UMDNJ just because it also has a med school.. Apply wherever you want and do the best you can.. Nothing is for sure, just keep going, and enjoy your progress! UMDNJ is an incredible school.. sometimes qualified applicants can ...

Can you forsee an advantage of a non-nursing BA student going into AcceleratedBSN-->Advanced practice MSN?

Hello all, I have a question about the fafsa form. I am an independent, and the IRS can tell how great my need is based on this status. Therefore, I would prefer not to disclose financial information about my parents. However, on the form it says tha...

Thanks. Me too. Guess we just don't know.

Thanks so much!

I am 24! And independent on the taxes, I have a bachelor's, but am a "dislocated worker", as in, my employer is going under.

Can you please tell me where to find information about this and similar scholarships that come with a job? Thanks!

I am halfway through my pre-reqs for nursing school but haven't begun the formal training yet. I have no health care experience technically, but I have an affinity for children and have decided to work towards pediatric nursing after working as a nan...

Hey thanks for your perspective, definitely different from mine and you bring up some interesting points. The nursing schools I have been dealing with are upper division two year programs that don't offer an accelerated nor a 4 year option - in other...

Hey I feel you - I had an alumni connection that could make me a CNL in just under two years - and declined. I am chomping at the bit for my NP really, but I believe in taking the time to do it the right way. True that that's not the case with other...

Hey that's a good idea. How long does CNA training take? And do they place you with a job after?

So it's possible to be discrete with your DEMSN? Were you treated like any other RN? ((I had thoughts of getting harrassed because everyone would know, or my supervisor would have told my coworkers ahead of time, or something paranoid like that.)) Al...

Oh, and I should mention -- did you keep tabs on most of your fellow DEMSN grads? Do you know any who didn't find work?

Hey all, I posted this reply on another thread but wanted to open it up for discussion in a more public place. I am considering the entry-level CNL program at a school I have basically already been promised acceptance at. Going through this program ...

Thanks for your attention! I am aware of the biases in both directions. In other fields, like teaching, you can't possibly have any work experience without a specific degree, so getting a masters in nursing didn't sound totally unreasonable when I wa...

I realize that CNL is an example of an accelerate route which also offers no summer externship, but am wondering if the Masters earned ups the chances of landing a job after graduation?

Thanks for responding! I am avoiding an accelerated program because I want a summer externship employer with which to secure a relationship and return to once I graduate. Accelerated programs leave no summer with which to gain work experience in betw...
