hi- would a FNP be hired to take on PNP responsibilities (minus the therapy) in a psych hospital? or do they tend to only hire PNPs?

Hi! I'll be attending Thomas Jefferson Univ. and I'm curious about where a good place to live is... either in the city - near the school or in the close, surrounding areas. Can anyone recommend any areas or apartment complexes? Mostly I need somewhe...

Hey- I'm not even a nursing student yet... but I've been reading thru the forums and just had a few questions that hopefully someone could answer: What does it mean to work per diem? Why do these people often make more money? How do your hours work w...

If you're in school you could ask an advisor if you have/had one. They often know your grades very well and could write up a rec.

Hey nurseyoon. Did you hear anything yet? I also applied to TJU and it did take a while for them to finally receive my application. I was calling them frantically and they said that they recieve hundreds of pieces of mail each week, so just to be pat...

well thanks kat & december for those websites... they have really helped me out. It just reading this book.. its so long and dense and doesnt explain things well.. just to see it short, quick and to the point on the website is very helpful. Had t...

so how is everyone holding up so far? I can say this: I f&%@*^# hate chemistry... 2 weeks in a its such a pain already.. so much to the point that I just want to drop it the class, drop out of school and forget about being a nurse... what to do....

I never had a "formal" interview. When I read the interview requirement on their website, I was freaking out because I figured it would be hardcore and I suck at interviews. I had scheduled a tour of the school and the lady suggested that I have an ...

Hey!! I'll join also... I have chem again next semester- certainly not looking forward to it as chem 1 was complete hell. ah well- hola to everyone!

hey- i am attending the fact program in summer 2006. when did you apply.. once your application is complete it only takes about 2-3 weeks to get a decision. hope you get in! it'll be hard but i'm sure its worth it!

Hey- I have a ton of questions for any students that currently attend the FACT program at Thomas Jefferson Univ in PA.. or went there in the past. Right now I'm trying to figure out where to live? Get an apt in philly? or commute about an 1 1/2 hrs a...

Thank you both for the reply... Right now I live in West Chester which is about 45 mins from the city. I could definitely take the train from exton or malvern into philly and get dropped off close to jefferson. I'm trying to decide if its worth getti...

can someone tell me what that site was? or PM it to me if you aren't allowed to post sites.. I really want to read this

Hey guys! Congrats on everyone getting in! Yeah I was also thinking about dorms- but now it seems pointless... i'm having my mom look out in the newspaper for any good apartments. I'm definitely down with meeting up and taking a tour of the city! I'...

hey drex- oh i will definitely be asking you a million questions! heres the first batch:) 1) What is your daily schedule like? Are you in classes/clinicals for 8 hrs a day? 2) Other than tuition and room/board, what other costs are involved? 3) Are ...

Hi all- -pinoy- I really can't answer your questions because I also am new to drexel's quarter system. I'm pretty sure the program is very intense though- if you do a search for older drexel ace threads a lot of people say its crazy but doable. -devo...

Hey Lunise- I got accepted!! My sister called me yesterday and said I got a packet in the mail from drexel (I'm at school right now, not home). So I told her to open in up and I got in. They said I have 40 days to make a decision- so thats around mi...

hey- do they actually have dorms for ACE students (or are we allowed to live in the dorms assigned to normal undergrads?) I got the impression that we would be on our own in finding an apartment? Yeah I do like the fact that the program starts in lat...

Hey- I contacted the asst. director of admissions and she said that we should expect a decision by the end of next week- so now I'm freaking out- will I get in? will I get rejected? ahhh! Well -lambert- definetely keep us up to date with any info yo...

hey- I also applied to drexel- back in march- but still for the 2006 fall class. The lady in charge of admissions also told me the deadline was Oct 15, but she said that if they did not have enough applications, they would extend it to Nov 15. She...

hey everyone :) , as I finish up my pre-reqs, I have space in my schedule to take a couple nursing courses. (they won't count towards getting a BSN, but I figure I should take some anyway- just to get an introduction to the material.) The classes av...

hey nikki! well so far i have only applied to drexel.. and im still waiting to hear what they say. looks like i'll also be applying to villanova, duquense, jefferson, maryland and pitt. problem is- my stupid arse school i attend right now wont let me...

have you looked online on the "apply online" part where you can put in your id & password then check if they made a decision yet? are they even using that website to tell their decisions or is it only going thru the mail?

that is awesome!!! congratulations!! did you call them up again or did you get the info in the mail?? also, when did you apply? just wondering if mine is taking so long since i applied later...

what kind of bs is that? i really hope this is not what we have to deal with all throughout the year if we get in! well its nice to know i'm not the only one going crazy. I will definitely call tomorrow and/or next week to check it out. Good luck t...
