  1. What I did to pass the NCLEX-RN

    pugluv posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I was incredibly nervous to take the NCLEX because I received my ATT 3.5 months after I graduated nursing school. The wait was frustrating, to say the least. I somehow convinced myself to avoid...

  2. Stethoscope for School

    pugluv replied to 2bnursebeckky's topic in General Students

    I almost got a Littman, but settled for: Adscope 601, Convertible Stethoscope. It was $120, and I feel that it's just as good as a Littman. I convinced my mom to get me a Littman when I graduate...

    pugluv replied to shahshah's topic in Illinois Nursing

    Congratulations everyone! I was accepted back in March. I've been waiting a while...

  4. DePaul MENP Fall 2014

    pugluv replied to mcebula87's topic in Illinois Nursing

    @love.live.laugh I think they generally notify people around the same time. According to this thread, some were notified in February. I turned in my application the day it was due, and I got an...

  5. NYU Fall 2014 ABSN

    pugluv replied to irinag's topic in New York Nursing

    Don't be nervous. At least they haven't sent you a rejection letter these past few weeks! My application wasn't as competitive as others - 3.7 prerequisites, 3.0 undergrad, worked as medical...

  6. NYU Fall 2014 ABSN

    pugluv replied to irinag's topic in New York Nursing

    Hi all! Congratulations to everyone accepted into the program. Unfortunately, no good news for me. I received a rejection email last Thursday morning which said: Anyway, just wanted those who...

  9. NYU Fall 2014 ABSN

    pugluv replied to irinag's topic in New York Nursing

    This waiting game is lame. I keep refreshing my inbox like a crazy person. I'm going to assume they're not sending emails

  10. NYU Fall 2014 ABSN

    pugluv replied to irinag's topic in New York Nursing

    They FINALLY checked off all my transcripts! I've been checking the status of my application like a mad woman! Hopefully they send out admissions decisions

  11. NYU Fall 2014 ABSN

    pugluv replied to irinag's topic in New York Nursing

    @kdacayo I checked online. I guess they haven't looked at my transcripts

    Me too @lucycw!

  14. NYU Fall 2014 ABSN

    pugluv replied to irinag's topic in New York Nursing

    @planemo I think most people pursue an MSN with the intention of specializing (NP, CNRA, etc.). I talked to someone who did a generalist MSN program with the intention of getting her NP certificate...

  15. NYU Fall 2014 ABSN

    pugluv replied to irinag's topic in New York Nursing

    @morganw1 I agree. The accBSN route is definitely a safer bet and more practical, especially if you're not sure you want to specialize in a particular field. But I'm pretty certain I want to go the...

  16. DePaul's MENP questions

    pugluv replied to bcxllady's topic in Illinois Nursing

    Hey ARN88 My friend completed the MENP program at De Paul and said a lot of her classmates secured jobs at hospitals because most are partial to De Paul students. Also, FNP programs may become...

  17. NYU Fall 2014 ABSN

    pugluv replied to irinag's topic in New York Nursing

    @agsetlur @morganw1 @planemo I think employers (especially hospitals) prefer nurses with the BSN not because they have more clinical experience but because those are the jobs that are available....

  18. NYU Fall 2014 ABSN

    pugluv replied to irinag's topic in New York Nursing

    @nguyent there's a disclaimer above the checklist: "Be aware that while items may be in our office, it may take several weeks before credentials are actually processed and reflected on the checklist....

  19. NYU Fall 2014 ABSN

    pugluv replied to irinag's topic in New York Nursing

    Planemo: Yes, cost of living is something to consider as well. NYC is significantly more expensive than other cities. I also heard that NYU's class sizes are huge (can be up to 200 students per...

  20. Johns Hopkins Accelerated Summer Entry for BSN/MSN 2014

    pugluv replied to tbp1015's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Got super excited to see an email from JHU today, but realized shortly after that it was one of those mass emails that invite you to chat with admissions. I later came home to a rejection letter in...

  21. NYU Fall 2014 ABSN

    pugluv replied to irinag's topic in New York Nursing

    This is really helpful! Thanks agsetlur! NYU is not my first choice. I got into an MENP program in Chicago, but I'm still keeping my options open for NYU's accBSN. I'm getting anxious though...

  22. DePaul MENP Fall 2014

    pugluv replied to mcebula87's topic in Illinois Nursing

    Is preview day reserved only for admitted students who have enrolled? I was admitted to the Winter 2015 cohort, but I haven't enrolled yet. Maybe that's why I didn't get a preview day

  23. NYU Fall 2014 ABSN

    pugluv replied to irinag's topic in New York Nursing

    However, I too am waiting for a response from NYU. I checked the Albert site and they only checked off one of the four transcripts I sent them. I think it will take them a while to go through all...

  25. DePaul MENP Fall 2014

    pugluv replied to mcebula87's topic in Illinois Nursing

    HR1989 I don't know if I'll be recruited for the Fall 2014 cohort in Lincoln Park because they said it was full. Regardless, I'm super excited! I cried when I read the acceptance
