  1. Villanova Second Degree Accelerated BSN 2019

    Yes! I got in! So, it wasn't an email after all. I ended up calling Kristin and she told me to check my application management page. You open your application and they have updated the application and uploaded the letter to it. Apparently they had u...
  2. Villanova Second Degree Accelerated BSN 2019

    Thanks, you too!
  3. Villanova Second Degree Accelerated BSN 2019

    Having some issues replying, so hopefully this works... Yes, as long as pre-reqs are complete by the end of a normal Spring 2019 semester. Your acceptance would be contingent on completion.
  4. Villanova Second Degree Accelerated BSN 2019

    I mean a week for interview notification. At least a month post-interview to find out program acceptance. I'm still waiting for that. :/
  5. Villanova Second Degree Accelerated BSN 2019

    A week or less in my experience.
  6. Villanova Second Degree Accelerated BSN 2019

    Also, what is your first BS in? Mine was bio (ages ago!). Just wondering.
  7. Villanova Second Degree Accelerated BSN 2019

    Thank you!
  8. Villanova Second Degree Accelerated BSN 2019

    Almost exactly 1 month. I interviewed 7/12. What about you? I should also mention I was accepted to the 2015 cohort but declined because I became pregnant. Fingers crossed for both of us! I'll let you know when I hear.
  9. Villanova Second Degree Accelerated BSN 2019

    Kristin said "this week or so" if you interviewed in mid-July. I'm dyinggggg
  10. 10 weeks pregnant

    You shouldn't touch Avodart or Propecia/Proscar without gloves, either. Seriously, just ask a pharmacist what can be absorbed transdermally that is a risk. I doubt you've touched the drugs I mentioned.
  11. People really need to stop coming into nursing

    I have read the majority of the thread, skipped around a bit, and I feel kind of depressed. Maybe that is the OP's intention: to dissuade prospectives from nursing. Reading the attached pdf and seeing that there is quite a significant surplus proje...
  12. People really need to stop coming into nursing

    What are you talking about? I know plenty of nurses, my mom was an RN during my childhood (she became a lawyer when I was a late teen, but once a nurse, always a nurse...). My mom is pretty paranoid about privacy invasion like the kind you are desc...
  13. Mispronunciations That Drive You Nuts

    Sorry, one more. Similar to someone's post about the mispronunciation of Guillain-Barré (okay, it's French, so I get it's hard)... pronouncing Raynaud's phonetically instead of Ray-NOHZ. I did take French for several years, so these probably bothe...
  14. Mispronunciations That Drive You Nuts

    Sorry if already mentioned... DI-uh-late instead of DI-late
  15. Mispronunciations That Drive You Nuts

    You didn't take physics, did you? Circuits are opened and closed. Electricians and engineers will say opened/closed instead of on/off.
  16. Nurse Practitioner vs Physicians Assistant

    Hi there! I've applied to PA programs and a post-bacc accelerated nursing program. I got accepted to the nursing program but was wait-listed at both PA schools. I understand your confusion as to which route to pursue. A few things to keep in mind:...
  17. "NPs don't practice medicine"

    I read this on a physician assistant forum. I've been accepted to an accelerated BSN program for career-changers. Yes, I also applied to PA schools, but I am wait-listed at both of them, so I am choosing the BSN (and after RN experience, MSN). Let ...
  18. A Marriage Between Epidemiology and Nursing?

    I am a clinical research coordinator and research assistant now, beginning my accelerated BSN in 2016. I kind of laughed when you said you are getting excited about research because I am going into nursing to get away from it! I work in human genetic...
  19. "NPs don't practice medicine"

    Okay. I guess that's something I would know if I were actually an RN or NP, eh? I'm always a bit ahead of myself.
  20. "NPs don't practice medicine"

    What kind of CME courses (for future reference)? I don't need CME as a research assistant, but I am always checking out what my hospital offers (I get tons of the general emails) and so I'm curious what kinds/topics would confer similar knowledge as...
  21. Very few direct entry FNP programs?

    Hey, I'm kind of in the same boat as you are. There are several programs like that here in philly, but I've been advised to do an accelerated BSN, gain 1-2 yrs experience as an RN and then pursue a master's. I know that takes longer and you probably ...
  22. "NPs don't practice medicine"

    Thank you so much for your honest appraisal! It takes a lot of humility and awareness to be able to talk about weaknesses like that. I'd actually really like to talk to you more. Do you mind if I message you?
  23. "NPs don't practice medicine"

    Thank you!
  24. "NPs don't practice medicine"

    Okay. I did know the different educational trajectories, of course, I just get a little lost when hearing nursing vs medicine. I know the differences in definition, but wasn't sure if there was a practical difference.
  25. "NPs don't practice medicine"

    But can you explain what that means, please?
