Hey everyone, I currently live in Atlanta and will graduate with an English degree in the spring. I'm hoping that I will have a GPA above 3.6. I scored a 27 on the ACT, so I'm not terribly worried about the TEAs. However, could anyone give me advice ...

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?

My first degree is in English, because I absolutely enjoy translating and analyzing texts, specifically medieval manuscripts. I actually did my senior thesis on medieval bedside manner through literature. However, I decided to apply to an accelerated...

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

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 acce...

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!

Same here. I sent you a pm. :)

I tried calling Wells Fargo to ask if they'd provide me the MedCAP loan WITHOUT A COSIGNER, but all they said is that I would have to apply first before my accelerated nursing program begins in August and that it is too soon to apply now. However, I ...

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

Tinker88, check your inbox :)

I was accepted to a nursing program that begins this summer. Should I purchase an electronic BP cuff that measures pulse, as well? These are a bit costly, but sometimes when I listen through a stethoscope while counting, I miscount or become distract...

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 ...

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.

I wish I could help, but I'm just starting nursing school. We seem a lot alike. I used to take anti-anxiety meds, but I seem to have it under control now. I'm a perfectionist, so I worry about detail. I hope you get the answers you're looking for. :-...

Congrats, you guys! I'm not sure, Tinker. I hadn't heard that, but traveling to Jackson would be fun. I just found out that the Germantown campus has interlibrary loan, so I'm ecstatic, over all things. Haha. I love research and books.

Thank you so much for the info, Tinker! I was hoping that somebody would get more information about orientation. I would be totally fine with orientation in person! I've never been on the campus, so I'd really like to be there before moving. I'm exci...

Your chances should be fine, if you're applying to a private university or have plenty of volunteer experience. Be prepared to explain your grades, as the school might ask you about the W and F in an interview.

For whatever reason, it won't let me send any more private messages. If you want me to reply to any thing private, message me an email address and I'll get back to you.

Well, it could be that you get the bill, but you have by a certain date to pay it, such as at the beginning of the semester. My current school bills my account when I register, but my scholarship (and Stafford) money isn't sent to the school until Au...
