They will do the drug test during the physical.

I just got my job offer! Does anyone know how much is base pay? I'm guessing it's around $22/hr. Also, loan repayment? I would like to know before I look at apartments, but I didn't want to ask and sound greedy

Yesterday, I received an email to submit references, but nobody has contacted me. That's a good sign right?

I interviewed with Saint Joes 2 days ago and still haven't heard back. I thought the interview went really well, but I'm baffled why I haven't heard back yet. Should I count myself out?

Just curious, but for those accepted to the FNP program, what was your GPA? Can you work during the program?

Thanks guys! I like to know about what to expect ahead of time. I'll try to get lots of practice. I'm worried about counting the apical pulse on an infant, ahhh... their little hearts go so fast!

My health assessment course doesn't begin until January, but I was wondering how skills, such as counting pulse, are graded? If you don't count pulse exactly as is are points taken off? I'm already practicing with my stethoscope, since I'm in an accelerated program. I wasn't expecting it to be so tough. I have the Littmann Cardiology III steth, and hearing doesn't seem to be much of a problem. It's just keeping up with counting.

Same here. I sent you a pm. :)

Alg1991, it says your inbox needs to be emptied, in order for me to reply!

Thanks for the link Tinker! UTHSC has a DNP Neonatal program now. That is so exciting. I'm hoping that I won't be in too much debt to apply after graduating!

UTHSC has a BSN program? I so wish that I had known that. So far I'm happy with my selection though. We will have our degrees sooner!

Oh wow, thanks for informing me, since somebody had told me otherwise. I'll look into those apartments. I'm aiming for under $600 a month, but if I must $650. This is why I need a roommate, hint hint

Are any of you Germantown students in need of a roommate? I plan to live at Lincoln on the Green, which is only a few miles from campus. I figure that it might be more convenient to live with somebody else in the program. I have 2 indoor cats, Henry and Kitty, who are incredibly clean and friendly. I'm a really clean and organized person, so you don't have to worry about me, except during test time. Let me know, if you're interested!

I've talked to a lot of NPs and I know a lot of people in the field. I also do far better in science classes than I do in English classes. I'm just looking for a way to combine my two interests, because it would be a shame to give up one for another.
