  1. New nursing student advice

    Jennybird replied to AlyssaSUNYOrange's topic in General Students

    I used a daily planner, a binder for ppt printouts and took handwritten notes, had a few folders in the binder for more organization. I used my iPhone voice memo recorder for recording lectures- just...

  2. Attention Goldfarb Students

    Jennybird replied to jab79's topic in General Nursing

    Hey there, I'm a Goldfarb grad and there are no restrictions on employment while in school. they just strongly encourage you to not work because you have to commit a lot of your time to school. I...

  3. Barnes Jewish Accelerated vs. UMSL Accelerated BSN Programs. Which to choose?

    Jennybird replied to pcal777's topic in General Nursing

    I'm a current ABSN student at Goldfarb. I also chose it for the reasons that stealthkit listed above. I also was deciding between UMSL and Barnes. The programs are competitively priced, but Barnes...

  4. Info on Goldfarb/Barnes

    Jennybird replied to nancypants's topic in General Nursing

    Update: Wow, I just revisited this page and see that I meant to say that UMSL and Barnes are competitively priced. For the Accelerated BSN: Barnes: $36,694 UMSL:

    Jennybird replied to MadpeysRN's topic in General Nursing

    What schools are you comparing Barnes to? You're going to pay a pretty similar amount in other BSN programs such as UMSL and SLU. Remember that if you're looking at their general undergrad cost per...

  6. Goldfarb vs. Chamberlain

    Jennybird replied to Isaacsmom09's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    That's wonderful news! I'm really excited as well. I'm sure things will fall into place for you and it will all work out. My only concern now is to secure enough financing for the program. Since we...

  7. Info on Goldfarb/Barnes

    Jennybird replied to nancypants's topic in General Nursing

    The programs at Barnes and Goldfarb are actually competitively priced--UMSL is certainly not half the price! UMSL: http://www.umsl.edu/~nursingweb/pdf/academic/bachelors/accelerated-cost.pdf...

  8. Goldfarb vs. Chamberlain

    Jennybird replied to Isaacsmom09's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Ok, turns out Chamberlain does have an accelerated BSN, according to some other posts? This was not made clear on the website to

  9. Goldfarb vs. Chamberlain

    Jennybird replied to Isaacsmom09's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Chamberlain doesn't seem to have a strong "voice" on the boards. You could try to do a search to find more info from past postings. But, I persoanlly have not heard anything re: Chamberlain. I'm a...

  10. Stuttering + interview???

    Jennybird replied to nurseypoo87's topic in General Nursing

    I would simply just focus on the interview itself, on your responses, building confidence in what you say, etc. I think this will in general help you to feel less stressed and likely will reduce your...

    I just received my acceptance letter today!!! I'm slated to start Sept 4, 2012 (Fall 2012

  13. Whose going or been to Barnes-Jewish College

    Jennybird replied to MadpeysRN's topic in General Nursing

    I have not heard anything yet, either. My application was complete a bit later than yours, on July 20. They initially told me the processing time is 4-6 weeks! So, for me I'm going on 6 weeks and...

  14. healthcare cost

    Jennybird replied to link51411's topic in General Nursing

    I think it's unfortunate that the new health care reform laws don't target the front-end of the problem--exorbitant fees for services. Like someone above noted, having medical insurance can somewhat...

  15. Lunches: Brown bag or cafeteria?

    Jennybird replied to PediNurse3's topic in General Nursing

    I roll up lunchmeat in romaine leaves, pack a handful of grape tomatoes, and sometimes a hard boiled egg. Handful of almonds/walnut mix. Always fresh fruit-berries typically, loving cherries right...

  16. Whose going or been to Barnes-Jewish College

    Jennybird replied to MadpeysRN's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you, ladies, for your responses! I'm feeling really hopeful now :) I feel like I am a (pretty) good candidate so I hope to avoid the ol' waitlist! I have 5 pre-reqs to take over the next 3...

  17. Whose going or been to Barnes-Jewish College

    Jennybird replied to MadpeysRN's topic in General Nursing

    Question: I'm recently applied for the Fall 2012 semester, and wondering how far in advance you ladies applied? I guess I'm just curious how far in advance you need to apply to possibly avoid being...

  18. Master of Science in Gerontology

    Jennybird replied to PAERRN20's topic in General Nursing

    ScottE is right. Now that I think back, when I was getting my MSW (w concentration in Gero), there were a few nurses who were pursuing certificates in Gero; we had classes

  19. Master of Science in Gerontology

    Jennybird replied to PAERRN20's topic in General Nursing

    I feel like I've been tagging onto lots of older entries, but wanted to add my two cents. The people that I know who have their MSG (Master in Gero) have rough times getting jobs, and typically have...

  20. Masters of Social work vs Nursing

    Jennybird replied to Sophiamez's topic in Nursing Career

    You stated that you don't have passion towards one job path. If such is the case, you should avoid social work. You will have to be passionate about social work, social justice, helping others, etc...

  21. bsn versus bsw/msw

    Jennybird replied to blesseddesrosiers's topic in LPN to RN

    Your concerns are very valid. I fear that if you pursue an MSW, you will find salaries to be similiar to your current salary! Sad, but true. But, if you got your professional licensure (LCSW--which...

  22. Any MSW/RN's out there? Want to pick your brain

    Jennybird replied to jcol1460's topic in Nursing Career

    I also have a MSW and am applying to nursing schools. In my area, there just are not many job opportunities for social workers. I truly wonder what many of the new grads are going to do. In my...

  23. ADN to MSW

    Jennybird replied to diva216's topic in General Nursing

    I realize this post is quite old, but wanted to respond with my thoughts for those of you who may be having a similar RN vs SW concerns. I received my MSW in 2007 and have been working for as a...
