It's 7 semesters long, which do include summers. It starts in the Fall at the Main Campus and ends in the Fall also.

I don't know about the accreditation status because I am not there any longer. Here is their website for more info: ACHIEVE Program | Nursing I went to Neumann's website and didn't see anything that explicitly stated that they had an evening progra...

It's 15%.

I went to La Salle for their evening and weekend program. I enjoyed it about as much as I think that you can enjoy nursing school. It certainly had its moments that I was fed up with it, but I would imagine that every program has its ups and downs....

Please stop perpetuating the rumor that there is a nursing shortage. There is absolutely no such shortage in Philadelphia, nor in many areas of the country. It is very hard as a new grad to get a job here. Many new grads end up in LTACs or SNFs, o...

Penn doesn't offer any differential for weekends and they did away with their Weekend Only program a few years back. Keep in mind that with Penn as a Clinical Nurse I even though you start out at 27.32/hr, once you make Clinical Nurse II (within 2 y...

I went to La Salle for their evening and weekend program. It's called the Achieve program. It's the only program around here that does evenings/weekends (I don't know about any that aren't BSN, there may be ADN programs that do this).

1. Philadelphia, PA 2. Acute Care RN (BSN) in a large academic hospital in the city 1 1/2 years experience $40.90 base pay (Non-union) plus 10% diff for 3-11 and 15% diff for 11-7 (or 15% for straight nightshift 7p-7a) No weekend diffs. 3. C...

Wikipedia is not a reliable source for anything, and this DNP initiative is state by state so far. I don't think that many states have started requiring a DNP as of yet. In my area most of the schools still have a MSN program and there are many "To...

It is very difficult to get a job as a new nurse in Philly without knowing someone in a hospital already. When I graduated, it took the people who didn't know someone 4-8 months to find a job. A handful of people ended up at nursing homes or rehabs...

I see a lot of these trach patients for the same, head/neck/laryngeal cancer and I have also occasionally had problems inserting a non-disposable or disposable IC back in. I would say that maybe there was a plug in there, maybe they coughed after th...

I work for a Penn hospital and can tell you that there is no union. What specifically did you want to know about the culture?

Congratulations!

One of my coworkers is currently at TJU for her FNP and I swear that she told me that she had to find her own preceptors. Good luck to you!

Honestly I would go ahead and take it anyhow. It probably starts ~$28 or so with a differential for night shift. If you don't like it, do your year, get your experience, and then leave. It's better than no job and there just aren't that many aroun...

I like the PP think that you are going to need College Algebra I and II. All of the college math classes that I have taken were only worth 3 credits a piece. Best of luck to you!

George Washington university in DC has one but does require you to go on campus 3 times during the program. It is also ~$90k.

I work on an extremely busy surgical floor in the city. We have the highest turnover for beds besides the ER. On days we have 4-5 patients and same for nights. Although we have recently been approved for more "patient care hours" or something like...

I about died when I clicked on the button to read the decision letter.....such torture!

Congratulations to everyone!

I just found out that I got accepted into the part time AGACNP program yesterday. My interview was on 4/14. Good luck to everyone!

We do 4-6, and sometimes the 6 turns into 8. Then we bladder scan and if there is 400 then we straight cath and that starts the whole clock over again.

I just submitted my application for the AGACNP Fall 2015 part time program. One of my co-workers applied for the same program and has already had her interview. She said that it was pretty laid back also, like another poster. She said that it was ...

Hi All, I am applying for graduate school. We have to include a resume with our application. I am a member of some committees at the hospital and am wondering if I should include that on my resume for school. I would love to show that I am involve...

Hi Everyone, I am in a residency program where we have to do an EBP research project at completion. I am doing my project on surgical site infection and whether or not using Chlorhexidine for washing of surgical sites during the post-op period is st...
