I'm looking into moving to the Wilmington area after I graduate and I was just wondering if anyway could give some idea about what it's like and things to do around that area. I want to work at New Hanover Hospital and also want to get my MSN at UNC Wilmington so if anyone has info about either (good or bad) it would be great.

Hi again, ESU is in the Poconos...it's freezing here with a lot snow! It's a beautiful campus, especially in the fall and spring. As for older students, we have about 2 older students in our class getting their RN. It's mostly all young students out of high school. There are a couple classes where there are about 5 older women (LPN's) who need some more credits in order to be an RN.

hi Erin, I'm actually from the Reading area and they are building a brand new hospital that is suppose to be finished by the end of this summer i think. It's called St Joes Hospital. I don't much about it but I know i'm going to be looking into it myself.

Hey! I am a junior nursing student at East Stroudsburg University in PA and I'm from the Reading area and looked at pretty much all the colleges that your daughter is looking into. Is she looking for a 4 year college to get her BSN or a a two year school. I know that if you do the Reading School of Nursing it's 2 years and I would definately recommend her to go back to get her BSN after working at a hospital that would pay for that. ESU is a great school, we offer a BS which is pretty much the same as a BSN. The administration is old and some of the clinical experiences are far away but other than that I love it here. It's a beautiful campus with alot to do around here (she has to like cold weather tho). To be honest, Bloomsburg was my first choice but I was only accepted there undeclared and I wanted to get right into my major. One of my best friends goes there for nursing and she said it is very challenging and you start clinicals early in your sophmore year (which is good). York College was also a very nice campus but I thought it reminded me of high school too much because it was pretty much one building with all the classes. I can't help you too much with the other schools but if you want anymore information on ESU email me and I would happy to fill ya in. Hope I helped you out alittle! ~Amy

Hi everyone...I'm am a junior nursing student at East Stroudsburg University in PA. I'm planning on moving down to NC after graduation and would love to move close to the beach. My sister and brother-in-law are moving down to Fort Bragg and I would also love to be a short distance from them also. If anyone has some information for me about good hospitals and places to live in that particular area it would be very helpful. Thanks! P.S. I'm interested in inexpensive apartments and good pay :chuckle
