   MJane29 replied to vcu17's topic in School Programs

   Hey anbrennan09 and richmondliving, Most of my friends and peers lived quite close to campus and it seemed to work very well for them. I was a bit of weirdo in that I lived (and live) out in Short Pump, VA. My commute to VCU SON was approximately 30...

3. VCU ABSN Summer 2017 Hopefuls

   MJane29 replied to vcu17's topic in School Programs

   Hey vcu17, I believe that for the first semester you will have the same lecture schedule as your peers. The only thing that will differ will be your clinical section. Unfortunately, students have no control over their own schedules and are randomly ...

4. VCU ABSN Summer 2017 Hopefuls

   MJane29 replied to vcu17's topic in School Programs

   I believe that there were people from my cohort who were waitlisted at around #18 and did get pulled. For me, the second summer semester may have been the most difficult. For our cohort, the second summer semester was crammed into just 8 weeks worth ...

   MJane29 replied to vcu17's topic in School Programs

   Hey nursegabbyc! I know that VCU SON thinks very highly of care partner experience, so in my opinion, the admissions committee will likely look favorably upon it as well. I can't say a whole lot about the weight that they place on GPA. I can tell yo...

   MJane29 replied to vcu17's topic in School Programs

   Hey Ashley, Unfortunately, I am kind of a weirdo in my cohort, so please don't focus too much on my background (I am certainly not trying to heighten your anxiety). I applied with a masters degree in counseling psychology and a bachelors degree in p...

   MJane29 replied to vcu17's topic in School Programs

   Hey there, I am currently enrolled in VCU's accelerated BS Nursing program and will be graduating in just a few days. At the time that I applied there was a student in the accelerated program who was really helpful in answering my questions. In fact...

   Hey there! I am looking for nurses who have graduated from or are currently enrolled in one of CU-Denver's NP programs who would be willing to share their experiences while in the program with a prospective student. I completed the admissions intervi...

10. Attempts to establish initial contact with assigned practicum preceptor unsuccessful

    MJane29 replied to MJane29's topic in General Students

    Hey meanmaryjean, I don't think that your suggestion is at all radical. It is the next step that I will take if I have not heard anything come Wednesday. I am probably dating myself by saying this, but my preference would have been to opt initally f...

    Thank you JustBeachyNurse, I needed that. :)

12. Attempts to establish initial contact with assigned practicum preceptor unsuccessful

    MJane29 replied to MJane29's topic in General Students

    I should add that a former student did inform me that she did not hear from her preceptor for about two weeks. However, in her case the reason for the delay involved a system wide email related issue.

13. Attempts to establish initial contact with assigned practicum preceptor unsuccessful

    MJane29 posted a topic in General Students

    I am looking for some guidance and am hoping that there is someone out there who has experienced a similar situation. I was recently assigned a preceptor for my leadership practicum experience on a floor perfectly matched to my future specialty. I wa...

14. 94 or higher is an A?

    MJane29 replied to Oceanblu's topic in General Students

    I can definitely relate to this. I am currently in an accelerated BS program and a 94% and above is an A, 87%-93% is a B, and 80-86% is a C. It is particularly frustrating in our program because all of the students in my cohort entered with a least a...

15. Feeling ambivalent about decision

    MJane29 replied to MJane29's topic in General Students

    Good points...thank you! I honestly think the reason she wanted me to weigh the diaper was primarily due to the fact that the patient had been admitted for a fever and intermittent vomiting. Perhaps less relevant, but I also believe that my instructo...
