  1. How competitive is it to get into a nursing school?

    smile123 replied to sunnyday1's topic in Washington Nursing

    For the UW, did you apply for the BSN only or their MEPN program? If it was the latter, then there was one more factor you needed to consider: the focus area you chose on your application. If you...

  2. Case Western Reserve University?

    smile123 replied to TBH831's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    UCSF is highly competitive as #2 in the nation for grad nursing schools. The U of Washington in Seattle is #1. So you are right, there are over 500 people who apply for 75 slots, but a great...

  3. Going to Hopkins in July! need some advice

    smile123 replied to t2000JC's topic in Maryland Nursing

    Cresmont is at the southern end of JHU's Homewood Campus in Charles Village. It's 2 - 3 blocks away from the JHMI shuttle between the Homewood campus and the hospital/nursing school. There's a...

  4. ANS Parasympathetic/Sympathetic question

    smile123 replied to BoonersmomRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hi BoonersMom, That's good you got the answer straight from the "horses mouth". It sounds she just wanted to know what happened that instant. BTW, I should clarify what I meant about the homework...

  5. ANS Parasympathetic/Sympathetic question

    smile123 replied to BoonersmomRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Sure. You could fill out the columns as a time based thing. At first the sympathetic system kicks in and then the parasympathetic takes over after the major crisis is over. BTW, I think there is a...

  6. ANS Parasympathetic/Sympathetic question

    smile123 replied to BoonersmomRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Think about it this way. If you did not know the answer, you would not know that the parasympathetic section should be blank. So the prof is just showing both columns so people can fill in their...

  7. Direct Entry Programs- How hard to get in?

    smile123 replied to GoodyNurse2b's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I agree. If you have a BSN and stop out for a year to work in between the BSN and masters, it's much easier to get into a masters program without the hassle of "what type of RN degree do you have?...

  8. I got accepted to ADN program (finally)!

    smile123 replied to Momto3andNurse2B's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Thanks for sharing your joy! :balloons: People outside of nursing only remember the bedpans and clean up after patients. But you can tell them about how satisfying it will be to care for patients,...

  9. Direct Entry Programs- How hard to get in?

    smile123 replied to GoodyNurse2b's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Actually, that's not quite true. Yes, UPenna would like you to have semester credits instead of quarter credits, but it does not matter if you took them at a CC or a university. It just that they...

  10. I got accepted to ADN program (finally)!

    smile123 replied to Momto3andNurse2B's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Congratulations! :balloons: Where did you get accepted? I wish you the best of luck on your new program!

  11. Direct Entry Programs- How hard to get in?

    smile123 replied to GoodyNurse2b's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hi Gen, It's not to say a person who signed up for direct entry would want stop at a BSN/RN. However, people do change schools due to other factors - spouse got a job somewhere else, curriculum or...

    smile123 replied to Lambert5883's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Good luck! Keep the group informed on your progress!

  13. Direct Entry Programs- How hard to get in?

    smile123 replied to GoodyNurse2b's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think having the BSN/RN degree is good if you want the flexibility to leave one program with a BSN/RN and then go to another for the masters. If you are in a 3 year RN/MSN program and you go...

  14. Need advice for non-nursing courses please

    smile123 replied to nurse34's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Ok. That makes a lot more sense! Thanks for clarifying.

  15. Need advice for non-nursing courses please

    smile123 replied to nurse34's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have a question: how do you take A&P online? What about the labs? Same goes for Micro. The labs were a big part of the class! Pharm I could see taking online, but the other two I think you...

  16. Drexel/JHU

    smile123 replied to Lambert5883's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    See answer inline. What is your GPA? Have you done your pre-reqs yet? What is your pre-req GPA? Have you done any volunteer or health related work experience? What is your goal? Why do you want to...

  17. Drexel/JHU

    smile123 replied to Lambert5883's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    JHU is NOT offering the 17 month hybrid anymore. It was a one shot deal. They will only offer the 13.5 accelerated (starts in June) or the 24 month traditional (starts in Sept)

  18. Direct Entry Programs- How hard to get in?

    smile123 replied to GoodyNurse2b's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    That is good to know. BSNs will mean a lot more in the future. The AACN wants the BSN to be the minimum degree for future RNs.

  19. UMD Accelerated BSN program now is Clinical Nurse Leader Program

    smile123 replied to TLR03's topic in Maryland Nursing

    That's excellent you called them and they offered a spot in the traditional program. I don't think most applicants would have thought of that or even considered that option.

  20. Drexel/JHU

    smile123 replied to Lambert5883's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I got into Johns Hopkins University accelerated BSN program for 2005 (starts in June) if you want to talk.

  21. UMD Accelerated BSN program now is Clinical Nurse Leader Program

    smile123 replied to TLR03's topic in Maryland Nursing

    Hopkins has a very flexible program. You can either apply for a direct entry BSN/MSN program or just go for the BSN/RN. After you get your BSN/RN, you can work for a year and then go on for your...

  22. can a NP work in phys med & rehab? whats the best route for me?

    smile123 replied to pts's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    There's another option. You can do a direct entry program with an accelerated BSN/RN or go for a direct entry to a masters program (the latter may or may not grant another BS degree; they give you a...

  23. I received my acceptance letter today!!!

    smile123 replied to CardioTrans's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Congrats to you too Suzannew! Where did you get in?

  24. Direct Entry Programs- How hard to get in?

    smile123 replied to GoodyNurse2b's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you already know you want to go to a different school and UMAss was not your first choice, then yes, you are right to turn them down for an interview. If there is still the possibility you want to...

  25. Direct Entry Programs- How hard to get in?

    smile123 replied to GoodyNurse2b's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think they would do a phone interview for out of town people. They know it's not possible.
