  1. African American Hair Problems in Nursing

  2. Inova

    Just adding to what's already been mentioned here: When searching for jobs on the Inova Careers page, be sure enter "registered nurse graduate" in the Keyword field. That's how I found the position I applied for...and I received an offer today! There...
  3. Hi all! New member here. Since the only threads I see about GMU are from previous admissions cycles, I thought I'd start a new one for Fall 2013. The deadline just past... so who applied for this cycle? April can't get here fast enough... let the wa...

  7. George Mason Accelerated BSN - Fall 2013 Applicants

    I think it's going to be $500-$750, depending on where you order the textbooks and whether you choose to rent (old or new) or buy (or or new). That's no small chunk of change... sKris and catherinesmom: Did you and your classmates actually use al...
  8. George Mason Accelerated BSN - Fall 2013 Applicants

    Per the website: "Sweater: Washable white cardigan, white lab coat or jacket with GMU patch" So I guess a lab coat is acceptable?

  10. George Mason Accelerated BSN - Fall 2013 Applicants

  14. George Mason Accelerated BSN - Fall 2013 Applicants

    sKris, do you know if this is something applicants/accepted students have to register for, or can we just show up? I'm still waiting on the letter from transfer admissions. I wonder what's taking so long, considering I got everything is way before th...

  20. George Mason Accelerated BSN - Fall 2013 Applicants

    Yes... for the last 10 days. I thought at least the letters for general admission would've gone out by now, since it looks like one person on this thread has received word. I'm tempted to call the University tomorrow...
  21. Want to quit nursing school.

    Like I said before: there's support, and there's control. This is control... of a grown adult. I'm surprised at the number of people in this thread who have seemed to completely overlook this aspect in the OP's life. Honestly, do folks actually belie...
  22. Want to quit nursing school.

    EXACTLY!
  23. George Mason Accelerated BSN - Fall 2013 Applicants

    I just looked at GMU's course catalog, and you were absolutely right: all accelerated classes WILL be at the Fairfax campus for Fall 2013. And they start at 7:30am. If I get in (and accept), I better spend the summer fixing my sleeping schedule - no ...
