I’m gonna say that I don’t believe the validity of this post... and leave it at that... This sounds like someone trying to create a conspiracy to validate a false theory that doctors and hospitals are part of a huge conspiracy together to falsi...

The interview for Jeff is unique in that it’s more about you and your personality than facts you can quickly recite. They didn’t ask me a single clinical book-knowledge question. Hope this helps. I think my invite to interview was sent in or...

For those accepted: If anyone is interested in a few free books you’ll likely need for 2nd and 3rd semester, message me. There are the ones pictured and a few more. In the center city area near Reading Terminal Market.

Your best bet is to call Rose at Jefferson. She is a coordinator for the program and will have the correct information you need—if you want it soon. They’re very nice... just give ‘em a call.

The only advice I can give is to boost your GPA one way or another. But programs have different rules on retaking courses so you have to individualize that question/answer to particular programs. That GPA is one hard-line that a lot of programs have ...

Better luck next time, guys/gals. Remember that they get way more applications of fully qualified nurses than they can accommodate. Keep trying. Between all the programs, there are always application periods open somewhere. Those that were waitlisted...

I’m sorry to hear that, but don’t be too discouraged.... there are simply too many qualified applicants to let in everyone each round. Doesn’t mean you don’t have what it takes. Keep trying. Apply ANYWHERE and everywhere. When I was applying, I wa...

Do you know the name of the group? Or link?

IcuRN, Could be... The change was a few months ago... The staff is the same, however. The directorship only changed hands... I was in the priority deadline app period of 2018, but chose my interview for January 29 2019. I got my acceptance that day,...

I can’t remember. I think it was just a couple weeks, if that, from the time you get accepted. And there are two separate deposit dates, so people may back out after the first deposit but before the second. Quite a few people rejected offers in our...

Sorry to hear that. Cumulative GPA is hard to raise because it requires a lot of units to counter the established record. I can only recommend to take courses to raise your GPA, get high GRE scores, or look into Puerto Rico. I’ve heard it’s easier to...

Not sure exactly how it goes... I know they invite a few people to interview from the previous year’s waitlist if they reapply/have their apps pushed to the following year. It seems they keep a couple spots saved for waitlisted students from the pre...

The student housing apartments are expensive, if that’s what you mean. You’re better off finding your own spot... in my opinion. The first semester is almost 100% online. You have to go to campus for orientation and to take two exams—if I remember co...

No I did not. You do not start clinical until the third semester. And you are not assigned a home-site until a few weeks before it starts. How it looks now, we will have our sites by middle of second semester-ish... maybe.. ? it’s a complicated proc...

I never took the GRE, which was a major reason that I applied to Jeff. And I got in, so it’s definitely not a requirement or even helpful that I can see... But it will definitely open the door for you to apply to many more programs as it is a common ...

Sorry to hear that. But congratulations on your Penn interview!!! Regardless of the outcome, you have to just keep the effort going. You’re almost there ??

How I see it: No violation on your part. Possibly a violation on the part of the MA who told you about it (I assume you are not in the group text), as there was no reason for that MA to share private information about another patient if they/you are ...

I see now, Anonymous RN is a case worker, not the bedside nurse. OK. Doesn't change much here. Anonymous RN said that the family is refusing to allow the patient to receive pain meds. You would need some control over the case to be able to make that...

That’s not a HIPAA violations as far as I see it. It was gossip that got back to the person being gossiped about. I didn't read that the RN shared diagnoses, Social security numbers, addresses, or other personal data with someone who was not supposed...

I’m a little lost. Where was the HIPAA violation? Note: I’m not defending anyone, just trying to figure it out

That was a typo. sorry, Wuzzie. I didn't go back to look at the spelling. I haven't slept in 48 hours, and that was out of memory. The other person I had called, "the other person", cause I couldn't remember without looking, and I can't see on my ph...

Ahh, my bad. You said she didn't have patient contact until her final semester. That was confusing

Interesting to see how different programs can be. I'll tell you though. Cal State was heavy on everything. I didn't get an easy ride for any of it. Heavy on skills and even heavier on books. We had clinicals 3/5 semesters in a large, metro, magnet, t...

Well most programs I see have BSN - DNP-Anesthesia, and that's why the program is full of that stuff I mentioned. As a DNP-Anesthesia student, you are selected because you want to pursue a leadership position, so it goes with the territory. It's akin...
