I am a transfer student that started out at a larger public school, but am now graduating from MSOE in a few weeks (yay!). Just about all of my credits transferred to MSOE, which was great! However, since the school is smaller all of the classes you need aren't offered every quarter. That meant that I was part-time for the majority of my senior year; which is ok, but I spent four long years at MSOE instead of being able to graduate earlier. I would highly encourage you to transfer! Although MSOE is tough, and requires some classes that other nursing schools don't (organic chemistry-bleh), it's worth it in the end. The smaller school has definitely helped me become a better student and learner; my grades from my big school were B's but with the individualized help and attention I now get almost all A's. You also receive a "transfer scholarship" for having a decent GPA that is about a third of my tuition. If you have any more questions, let me know!

I've recently accepted a Graduate Nurse position in an ICU at Aurora St. Luke's. I wanted to know about others' experiences as a GN for St. Luke's and/or if there's any words of wisdom for a new grad starting out in the ICU. Thanks!!
