  1. How many times can you take the nclex

    angelalala replied to Guest26407's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Seriously, I wonder where she went to school and how she managed to pass her classes/graduate? That should really not

  2. Anyoner hear from ccac for fall 12

    angelalala replied to pixiestudent2's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    I know this is frustrating for you, but I don't think anyone was saying your wife wasn't "good enough" for anything. . .she was still accepted to the nursing program, and plenty of people won't be!...

  3. CCAC Fall 2012 Applicants

    angelalala replied to horrorxgirl's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Yes, me. I don't even know where Boyce IS; I applied for there because I live on the east edge of the city and didn't want to fight traffic to get to Allegheny in the AM. Sali22, I wouldn't feel...

  4. Anyoner hear from ccac for fall 12

    angelalala replied to pixiestudent2's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    I can't get a Pell Grant because I already have a Bachelors (and Masters). I don't know anyone who went to Shadyside who didn't have to take out some loans, though (I went there for a semester and...

  5. Anyoner hear from ccac for fall 12

    angelalala replied to pixiestudent2's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    The hospital-based programs (at least Shadyside; i'm sure the other UPMC programs will follow) don't have 100% tuition forgiveness. I'm maxed out on undergrad loans so I basically HAVE to go to a...

  6. The Reading Hospital School of Health Sciences 2012

    angelalala replied to amg418's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    I'm glad this school still exists! My mom went there in

  7. CCAC Fall 2012 Applicants

    angelalala replied to horrorxgirl's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    If I have to wait until June/July I'm going to be REALLY upset; I think it's pretty dang late for them to be sending out acceptance/denials even in April. How are people supposed to plan for other...

  8. RN (Intellectual disability)seeking work in Canada

    angelalala replied to KELLYFR's topic in Nurse Registration

    This may not be helpful to you since you want to go to Canada, but here in the US (at least in Pennsylvania) you could probably work in wraparound services (ABA therapy). It's usually work done by...

  9. Anyoner hear from ccac for fall 12

    angelalala replied to pixiestudent2's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    NOPE. I got an envelope from them last week and was excited, but it was a fakeout (just a list of courses I've taken that they'll

  10. Fall 2012 PSU Altoona Second Degree Nursing

    angelalala replied to evym's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    I don't live in Altoona but my parents do. The cost of living there is really low, and the campus is in a nice area (it really is a beautiful campus). There are a few run-down areas by the Altoona...

  11. Just saying no to drugs.

    angelalala replied to BlueDevil,DNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    My kneejerk reaction was to think "oh, it really wouldn't hurt anything to just give her what she wants" but. . .she's a new patient, right? Who knows if she'll try to push her weight around to try...

  12. Common Nursing Complaints & Psych NP's - Not As Bad?

    angelalala replied to SmoothJams's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I'm another "chose not to do PhD Psych" student. . .I'm going the traditional route and just finishing my RN pt (and working as a master's level therapist) before applying to an NP program. Already...

  13. Psych NP

    angelalala replied to srwilkinson2002's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I'd love to do the Rush program but I already have one Masters and I don't know if I'll have enough financial aid to complete another at an expensive school.

  14. Psychiatric technician to Nurse?

    angelalala replied to Loforsure's topic in Psychiatric

    It probably won't reduce your courseload, but will give you good resume experience. But can't you get an associate's RN in like 4 semesters? Or don't you have your prereqs

  15. Non-Violent Crisis Intervention Courses CPI??

    angelalala replied to gewmac's topic in Psychiatric

    I've taken CPI (multiple times) years ago, but I've found (at least in my area) it's falling out of favor to Safe Crisis Management and another gentle crisis management program whose name I can't...

  16. Anyone else the QUIET nurse?

    angelalala replied to Newgrad_STAT's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I'm the "quiet" everything. I'm a total

  17. Income potential as private practice nurse practitioner?

    angelalala replied to marbear28's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I don't know about the financial benefits, but I, personally, as a patient, would not choose a provider with no experience if I had any other

  18. Can Male RNs get jobs in Maternity Nursing?

    angelalala replied to Samian Q's topic in Male Nursing Students

    There's a male midwife in my city. I'd be okay with it. . .there were no male RNs where I delivered,

  19. UIC GEP 2013

    angelalala replied to rchampa3's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I'm trying to write my essay(s) and having a rough time with

  20. UIC GEP 2013

    angelalala replied to rchampa3's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I'd love to know about the average financial aid as well. Since they don't want you to work (I don't know how I would), we'd pretty much have to live off it. Chicago is comparatively inexpensive for...

  21. Low GPA, can I get into a masters program? MSN

    angelalala replied to TangTang53's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Are you getting your BSN now? Getting work and volunteer experience before you apply could only help your application as

  22. UIC GEP 2013

    angelalala replied to rchampa3's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I am likely going to apply (mental health specialty), but I'm not entirely sure it's the right decision. I already have a Master's degree (in psych) that I need to pay off, so taking on this much...

  23. Anyone applying to Yale for Fall 2012? (MSN)

    angelalala replied to RNcDreams's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Yes, well, some of them. Some don't award a Bachelor's at all: just an RN + Masters. That's the route I pretty much have to go since I don't have enough undergrad financial aid left to get a second...

  24. Anyone applying to Yale for Fall 2012? (MSN)

    angelalala replied to RNcDreams's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Don't feel too bad: I owe more than that on my undergraduate alone, plus I have another Masters to pay off:/ I definitely plan to look for a public service position (anywhere!) to get some of this...

  25. Cons of master's entry NP programs?

    angelalala replied to t_heart's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Yes, I agree. I'm mainly looking at UIC, and they encourage people to work as RNs during the NP portion of the program (the RN part is full time, but you can drop to part time during NP training)....
