  2. Direct-entry MSN programs

    Jess RN replied to elizabells's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Gen, How are you? I'm sorry I didn't have a chance to respond to your posts about your husband, housing, etc. I hope things are more on an even keel now. I absolutely think you are making the right...

  3. Direct-entry MSN programs

    Jess RN replied to elizabells's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I totally agree with bruinlaura. These accelerated and direct entry programs aren't about to flunk large numbers of students and make thier selections process look bad. If you can get in with their...

    Eeee gads! I'm so sorry you are having such a weird side effect from your meds. Prolactin is supposed be a "feel good" hormone. I did feel more relaxed while sitting down to nurse my girls, but when...

  5. Direct-entry MSN programs

    Jess RN replied to elizabells's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Gen, I'm so sorry to hear about your blow out with your hubby. I have certainly had my fair share with mine. I do think school stress makes me less "present" than I perhaps could be. I think your...

  6. GRE scores? Choosing grad schools?

    Jess RN replied to share's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I think Gen's right about the min GRE scores. But if you are already an RN and have your ADN or BSN- I don't think you need anything near a 4.0. If you are changing careers to nursing, and applying...

    Jess RN replied to elizabells's topic in Post Graduate Students

    That's great about the apt and the boyfriend- sorry about the bronchitis. So, you get to live in the dorms for as long as you need to and then move out whenever you find an apt? Are you locked into...

    Jess RN replied to elizabells's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Hi Kim! I got the Dansko clogs (the ones without the back) at a store near my home called Uniforms for America in Watertown Sq. They carry Dansko Porfessionals and I believe they were about 95.00....

    Jess RN replied to elizabells's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Hey Gen! Good to hear from you. I'm glad your fin aid and housing is falling into place. I finished up my orgo class two weeks ago. It was intense, but really interesting. I liked it a lot. I'm...

  12. Direct-entry MSN programs

    Jess RN replied to elizabells's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I think our program has a pass rate in the 90s as well- though I'm not sure of the exact numbers. At the info session they said that last year everyone in the MEPN program passed the NCLEX- but I...

    Jess RN replied to elizabells's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Good luck with Orgo Gen- I just finished Orgo last week and it wasn't as bad as I expected it to be. It is a very cumulative science though- everything builds on what you last learned- so it's...

  19. Direct entry and graduate entry programs II

    Jess RN replied to Gennaver's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Great! Thanks guys, I'll start with Danskos and go from there. The plastic/rubber type clogs actually appealed to me because I figured they would be really easy to clean. But I'd not thought about...

  24. Direct entry and graduate entry programs II

    Jess RN replied to Gennaver's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Thanks elizabells! I'm a fairly big drama queen myself (but I've got nothing on my 2 yr old!). I guess Orgo/Micro is such drudgery, that I've forgotten that if the content were actually interesting,...
