  2. Are you required to get a flu shot in the nursing program?

    JillyPlot replied to cee cee g's topic in General Students

  4. Drexel ACE Spring 2014

    JillyPlot replied to tua53200's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    I'm currently in N300 and find it difficult because it is so much material as well as the way the questions are worded. We had what they said were NCLEX style in other classes, but these are...

  5. Clinicals and religious observances?

    JillyPlot replied to priorities2's topic in General Students

    I don't mean to be critical, but from your post it sounds like you are confusing Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur, which is the fast day. Rosh Hashanah is the Jewish new year, not the day of atonement. I...

    JillyPlot replied to Guest11/16/14's topic in HESI Entrance, Exit Exam

  9. Drexel ACE Spring 2014

    JillyPlot replied to tua53200's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    We started clinical but only had 3 days on the floor, as we aren't able to do much yet. The only patient care we did was take vitals, bathe patients, and practice assessments. I was fortunate that I...

    JillyPlot replied to tua53200's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    JillyPlot replied to tua53200's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

  21. What does this mean (credit) - confused??

    JillyPlot replied to Novo's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm not sure what that means, but I'm thinking the other courses are higher level than that one. The only way to know for sure whether you have to take it is contact the nursing program and

  22. Never live with a fellow student!

    JillyPlot replied to missk88's topic in General Students

    JillyPlot replied to missk88's topic in General Students

    I know you're here to vent, but I had someone like that in my first degree. I began doing my homework in the library and with other classmates. When my roommate asked for my work, I began...

  24. Drexel ACE Spring 2013, any applicants out there?

    JillyPlot replied to Kelsea1214's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing
