I will be attending Georgetown this fall, but I looked at Duke as well. Both are well respected programs. Duke has many more campus visits- one or two per semester, while Georgetown only requires two...
I also had the "pay deposit" box and was accepted. I know of several others who had this as well. I received my acceptance email 2 days after it said to contact admissions (longest wait ever!!) I...
I will be working part time at least until clinical's. I may have to stop working towards the end though. I'm already getting nervous! Sent from my iPhone using
Congrats samanthaRN1989 and littlepeopleRNICU! I'm starting the MSN-FNP program this fall at Georgetown. Do either of you plan to work while going to school? Sent from my iPhone using
AliGrn & B,RN, Best of luck to you in your upcoming courses! Keep us posted (if you ever get a moment of down time) on how things are going and any tips or advice you have to offer those of us...
Has anyone received information on their financial aid yet? I keep checking my award information on My Access and there is nothing there yet. Sent from my iPhone using
Don't feel bad. It's ok if nursing isn't for you and you certainly aren't awful because you don't like nursing. You've learned a lot from your schooling and experience thus far and you will be able to...

I haven't worked inpatient for many years and it will depend on the hospital you work for. We had an IV therapy team who transported chemo from the pharmacy to the floor and they double checked it...

Oncology nursing only requires an RN license and generally some oncology certifications. You can go straight into oncology nursing as a new grad. If you get the opportunity to choose a clinical...

I've been an Oncology RN for 12 years and I have worked both inpatient and outpatient. Is there anything specific you want to know? You will likely have to get chemotherapy/ biotherapy certified and...
I will be attending part time. I start with patho and research first term. I totally understand about life being crazy right now. I am finishing up my RN-BSN and I will be done end of May! Sent from...
Kayla95, Have you had a chance to check out 2GU social groups? They have a moms@georgetown group and I have learned a lot just by reading through some of the posts. Everyone seems really supportive...
Wow, that's a crazy amount of credits for one semester!!! That probably makes GU sound easy 😉. I have found everyone to be very supportive as well. My youngest will start kindergarten this...
Thank you! I actually have both of those saved in my Amazon cart! I will be purchasing them soon :) Good luck to you as well! Sent from my iPhone using
I had the same question. I found a physiology course online through Coursera. It is actually instructed by a Duke professor. I have no idea how good the course is as I haven't taken it yet, but I...
I would definitely apply. I was told that GU looks at each applicant holistically and I believe this is true. I was really nervous too. I had a 3.5 for my ADN and 4.0 for my BSN. I was told that most...
I would probably check in with your advisor and ask if he/she has an idea when you can expect to hear from the admissions committee. My guess is they are just trying to finish up all the applications...
Kayla95- Have you done your welcome call yet? I do mine next week. They sent me the information packet and I freaked out a little when I read the time investment section. I'm really nervous about...
