  1. NYU Fall 2007

    WEllllll has anyone heard anything? I got my acceptance letter on tuesday butttttt..I really don't think I'll be going as a I put down my deposit somewhere else..I don't know yet for sure though..it depends a lot on financial aid
  2. What is a "titer result"?

    DEFINITELY go to your local health department if you need to have titers drawn..mine saved me a small fortune last year as my health insurance wouldn't pay for titers and I was required to have them..some of my classmates paid several hundred $$, but...
  3. Average GPA

    ...I agree with everyone else who says that it depends on the program. You may want to call and ask them what is considered competitive, for this year. Depending on the applicant pool, it can change drastically from year to year. I was accepted in...
  4. Missing Clincials??

    Hey Jewels.. :) Well, I can't speak for all programs but I know that mine didn't have saturday clinicals at all, not even for graduate programs. They were all during the week (some pretty undogly hours at times, lol) but not the weekends. However,...
  5. Hi there! Well..I actually just got my acceptance letter from Villanova this week. It IS expensive, but...let me tell you, my financial aid package is amazing. They have actually covered all costs for me...I'm still waiting to hear from Drexel..AN...
  6. What are some cool nursing shoes?

    I have a pair of the all white dansko professionals. they were expensive but very much worth it. i have lower back problems due to a curve in my low thoracic spine but with these shoes, I feel no pain!
  7. So who is still waiting on a letter?

    I'm still waiting on three..I've got one acceptance so far..but, it's more along the lines of my safety fall back program, but I did just get a 50% academic scholarship to that program, so that's nice. :) I should be getting one more this month, on...
  8. NYU Accelerated Program Applicants?

    I also applied as a transfer to the regular BSN program..the only thing that bothers me about NYU is they require everyone to submit high school transcripts..Umm..ew. The one admissions person that I spoke to though just said I need to submit them b...
  9. Stuck on care plan

    Hey Kim.. Well, I learned pulses on a 0-3 scale..not four, but this is what we learned: 0-Absent 1-Weak/thready, difficult to feel 2-Normal, easily detected, obliterated by strong pressure 3-Bounding, difficult to obliterate Hope this helps!
  10. This may sound a little bit odd..but..constipation. I had to teach five senior citizens about it during my community health clinical. We were assigned topics and at first I was really dreading it, but..in reality..it went REALLY well. I focused it...
  11. Nursing Students... Did you take....

    I took an online med terminology class the semester before I started my program. I can honestly say that it helped me a great deal..so many people struggled with a lot of the terms, and still do! It's not a very time consuming class so if you have ...
  12. I hate the mailman.

    I can't even stalk the mailman for some of my decisions, because they come by email. I had myself convinced that my inbox was full of read messages so I deleted EVERYTHING..when I still didn't get anything, well..I might have stooped to the level of...
  13. Cinical uniform..love it or hate it?

    The nice thing about all white scrubs is that you can bleach them and they're good as new. :) That is until you over bleach them and they adopt that oh so lovely yellowish tinge.. My program had all navy blue scrubs that were ridiculously heavy. I...
  14. Cheating in Nursing School

    The biggest problem with studying from older tests is the fact that SO many programs keep re-using the same tests, semester after semester, year after year. Most of my instructors won't even let us leave the room with an exam booklet, either acciden...
  15. Drexel

    :) Hey everyone..I was just wondering if anyone applied as a transfer student to Drexels BSN Co-op Program for Fall 2007? I HOPE to hear in a few weeks (however sooner would be better!). I know that there are bunch of ACE students out there that al...
  16. NYU Fall 2007

    Tracy- I've applied to a few schools, but nothing else in the NY area, aside from Seton Hall. I'm looking at Drexel, LaSalle, Villanova and NYU..These programs are so competitive..eeeks.
  17. NYU Fall 2007

    Hi Tracy. :) I also applied as a transfer to the basic BSN program. I hate the whole application process, it's so frustrating! They're so secretive with their information, you need an act of congress to find out how many spots are available and wh...
  18. Moving to Chicago, need help!

    Best to luck of you WCrossl. :) Funny..I'm moving to Chicago from Baltimore tomorrow. I'm a student at UIC though, so I reaaaaalllly can't offer you any advice!
  19. Dansko shoes

    http://www.danskooutlet.com :) AMAZING! They're technically factory seconds, like a scratch on the leather, a slight scuff..etc. but the majority of them are just sizes and styles that have been over produced. Much cheaper than buying them in a r...
  20. Taking notes on a laptop?

    The professors in our program actually reccommended us to get laptops for the start of this year. Our textbooks came in this package with this software program that contains every textbook we need this semester (and then some). We're supoused to do...

  22. Anyone going to or applied to Harford Community College?

    :) Well, first off, congratulations on your acceptance! The nursing program at HCC is very competitive, only about 40 students out of 400 applicants get in. I am not in the program right now, as I am planning to transfer out of Harford next year. ...
  23. Anyone going to or applied to Harford Community College?

    Not sure if you're still looking for help about HCC, but I am a current student there right now. Feel free to ask me anything! :) Nikki
  24. Young and single! Should I move here?

    :) For whatever it's worth, Baltimore was just rated as one of the top five cities to live in if you're single, coeincidentally, we also have one of the higher STD rates in the country. Hmm.. In any case, I'm 23 and have had a lot of fun here, jus...
  25. Thinking about Emory Nursing School any suggestions

    Hi there CHOA! :) Well, I can't answer your question, but I'm going to be applying to Emory as well! Have you spoke to anyone yet? I have called and emailed a few times, everyone seems so friendly down there! Are you in the area? I'm from Balti...
