  1. No Car for Nursing School- Urban Area- Am I doomed?

    jocy_anne replied to VictoriaMareah's topic in General Students

    Do you mind if I ask what school you're attending? I'm starting at Thomas Jefferson University in September and that letter you received sounds awfully familiar to one I just received. I think it...

  2. Microbiology - Summer 2012

    jocy_anne replied to jocy_anne's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Getting ready to start week 2 of 8 tomorrow! I am enjoying the day off we got today, and it's really helping me catch up a little on reading. Our labs so far have consisted of standard and gram...

  3. Private Student Loans...

    jocy_anne replied to pat8585's topic in General Students

    I just applied for a private student loan through PNC bank. I haven't gotten an answer yet, so it may not work out, but I'm hoping it will. I think if you Google private student loans, options will...

  4. How much is your degree costing you?

    jocy_anne replied to anonymousstudent's topic in General Students

    I'm attending an accelerated BSN-MSN program at a private, not-for-profit university and the tuition for the upcoming year is about $33K. The BSN portion is 2 years long. They do have us take 3...

  5. Is $49,000.00 too much for ADN program?

    jocy_anne replied to abqfavorite's topic in General Students

    In case you still need some perspective after all of these posts, I am starting an Accelerated BSN-MSN program in September at a private university in Philadelphia and one year's tuition is about...

  6. Introducing dorkus maximus

    jocy_anne replied to ixchel's topic in General Students

    I MUST GET THAT NOTEBOOK!!!!! As you can see from all these posts, you are certainly not alone! If it was possible to swim in a pool filled with office supplies, I think I'd be the first one jumping...

  7. Microbiology - Summer 2012

    jocy_anne replied to jocy_anne's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Ok, so I'm going on day #3 of this class now, and it's going well so far. I'm a little stressed because I've been running around constantly from work to school to the gym, etc. and I've barely been...

  8. Helpful study books for a&p I lab

    jocy_anne replied to luvofalex's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I used the Kaplan Anatomy coloring book and thought it was one of my most useful tools throughout the courses. I would fill in the names for all the parts, and would then go back and color in each...

  9. Microbiology - Summer 2012

    jocy_anne replied to jocy_anne's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I start this class tomorrow night and am baffled at how quickly the last 2 weeks flew by! I'm hoping the next 8 weeks will go by just as fast, lol. Good luck to everyone starting the class this...

  10. When Will I Know?!?!?

    jocy_anne replied to MyMystudentRN's topic in General Students

    Back in the day, they used to say that bigger envelopes were acceptance letters, and "regular" envelopes were rejection letters. However, with the technology advances, most schools don't send out big...

  11. How do you afford living expenses when attending full time school?

    jocy_anne replied to ARickli's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    And sunbaby0811, there are cheaper programs in the area, but all of the ABSN programs in Philadelphia cost about the same. I had thought about pursuing an ADN program, but have been told by several...

  12. How do you afford living expenses when attending full time school?

    jocy_anne replied to ARickli's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    ARickli, I may end up working part-time if I can squeeze it into my schedule. I've even toyed with doing Mary Kay or Thirty-One because it might allow for the most flexible schedule. But I'm a...

  13. "pre-nursing" science classes vs. just getting a BSN

    jocy_anne replied to turtlezoup's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My ABSN program may not require as many prereqs as others, but it only took me 4 semesters to finish my prereqs. And I worked full-time and only went to school at night (and on Saturdays during the...

    jocy_anne replied to PITTgal's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

  15. Nursing Programs look at community service and volunteer work?

    jocy_anne replied to brenay's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You're welcome!

  16. How do you afford living expenses when attending full time school?

    jocy_anne replied to ARickli's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    That's so great that you two have enough money saved up! I wish I was in the same boat. The annual tuition at my school is about $33K, minus the cost of books, uniforms, supplies, living expenses,...

  17. How do you afford living expenses when attending full time school?

    jocy_anne replied to ARickli's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't have any answers for you, but wanted to let you know that I was wondering the same thing, so I'd love to hear people's replies! I'm starting an ABSN-MSN program in September and my last day...

  18. Nursing Programs look at community service and volunteer work?

    jocy_anne replied to brenay's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think you could still put it on your application and say something along the lines of: 2010-Present (Intermittent): "X" Children's Hospital Volunteer OR 2010-2011 & May 2012-Present: "X"...

  19. Nursing Programs look at community service and volunteer work?

    jocy_anne replied to brenay's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Marks = grades. :) I think community service is something that may help you, but I still think grades are probably more important. I have been a volunteer leader in my church's high school youth...

  20. nursing school interview

    jocy_anne replied to morganfaye1992's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I agree with leenak. You need to make it personal. Was there something specific that influenced you to choose this path? For me, I had two very specific instances with other people in the hospital...

  21. What was your GPA when you got accepted into nursing?

    jocy_anne replied to disnurse91's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My GPA from my B.A. wasn't as good as I hoped it would be, mostly because I got pretty sick and dealt with some boughts of pneumonia when I first got into college, so I had a few C's the first couple...

  22. How is Nutrition?

    jocy_anne replied to GodsSon128's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I took the class online over our 5-week "Winter Intercession" term back in January. It was a very involved class with a lot of work, but I didn't think it was that bad. The class started about a week...

  23. Microbiology - Summer 2012

    jocy_anne replied to jocy_anne's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Thanks for the feedback, everyone! I can't wait to get started...it's only been 4 days since the Spring semester ended for me and I'm bored out of my mind,

  24. Fall 2012 new nursing students roll call!!!

    jocy_anne replied to ixchel's topic in General Students

    Yay, I love finding new Jefferson students on here!!! :-) Congrats to you, too! I'm in the pre-licensure APW program. I'm pretty sure that pre-licensure APW & BSN students take most classes...

  25. PreNursing Fears

    jocy_anne replied to KarenCT's topic in General Students

    I'm starting an accelerated BSN-MSN program in September and am quitting my full-time job to do so. I'm extremely nervous about it, so you're definitely not
