I would take Clements for 500, I had him for a forensics class once. I think I had Swartzwelder for ethics. Good luck!

I have a year left and love it. The first year is all MSN basics, 2nd year things like patho and pharm, third and final year clinical courses. There are only 2 on campus visits for us and both are a Tuesday-Thursday in Philly. They include lectures a...

Hi everyone, I couldn't find a thread for Drexel FNP fall 2014 so I figured I would start one so we can all meet/chat ahead of time. I'm currently living in the DC area and I'm excited to be visiting Philly a few times a year. Anyone else out there f...

I was worried about this so I emailed Dr. Tucker a few months ago and she told me it wasn't mandatory until the 2nd year. "The core courses during the first year do not require synchronous lectures. During the second year (and clinical courses) the ...

You mean share the hotel I picked? I was looking at the Sheraton or Penn Inn, but I guess I need to make sure I know which campus it'll be on first. We have a few years to worry about that though.

Do you have to come to campus at all before the year you start clinicals? I have a hotel all picked out near campus for when the time comes =)

They told me the same thing but oh well guess they were kidding lol.

I applied back in November, and they said I wouldn't hear anything until May or June, but I heard from them March 7th.

Ya I saw that, I thought the same thing about studying! Maybe we'll get lucky like Irishizrn and not have to take it. I noticed it said you should take physiology as an elective if you don't do well on the test. So how do yo like the program so far?...

I'm the same way. Currently I'm thinking omg I can't do that! But after a few years I sure we'll all feel more confident. I had my "moment" last summer when I was at work....I'm like omg I have to go back to school I can't be doing this forever lol. ...

Hey Crux1024, congrats! Looks like we'll be suffering together! I'm also nervous as hell, but hopefully by the time clinicals start we'll feel a little more prepared. As far as admissions go, I applied in November and they said I wouldn't hear until ...

Hi there, I just found out last Sunday I got into Drexel for fall 2014 FNP. I've read a lot of good things about the program so far. I like the idea of campus visits so you can still connect with classmates but not sit in class every week. Anyone els...

Wow you just perfectly described my job as well. I think that's most of my friends also. I can identify with all of that except the charge nursing. I interviewed for a spot already, but the only problem is that I wasn't aware that starting in the mid...

Hello, I am an MICU nurse in Texas. I have 2 years tele exp and 8 months now in MICU. I find that MICU is very physically and emotionally draining and I occasionally get depressed when thinking about work. Dealing with death and grieving families on ...

Try it now if you want specifics, I had to jump through hoops to reactivate my account. This was harder than making changes to my bank account haha! As far as the schools go they're going to have the same curriculum, but I've heard UT Houston has a s...

Congrats guys! I graduated from TWU Houston in 2006 and now work in MICU. It was hard but I enjoyed it and I made some of my best friends there. Enjoy the new building, the old one had one woman's room per floor and the lines were crazy! Nursing test...

I have 2 years of tele and went straight to MICU. My mgr thought tele exp is better than the regular floor. I think it's easier to learn the different illnesses you've never encountered before rather than come into an ICU not knowing how to read stri...

I guess what we mean is that in the U.S nurses dont make as much money as they're worth. Someone mentioned before that garbagemen make more than many nurses at $35/hr. After hearing what nurses in the Philippines make no one can complain that much. B...

I imagine I would be very annoyed too if all my classmates ONLY talked about money all the time. I guess I'm lucky...most of my friends in nursing school and I always talk non-stop about what type of nursing we want to do, not how much money we'll ma...

Hello, as listed above, once you begin a BSN program you will take Patho and Pharm in your first semester, and after that its all nursing courses. However, I've found that for the first time since I began college..I'm actually using these core classe...

Hello, I'm a student in Houston, TX and beginning to think about which part of nursing interests me the most. I was frustrated and sometimes bored on the med-surg floors. My rotation in the OR was the most exciting clinical I've ever had ( I saw a mi...

I find it difficult to study as well, I live directly across the street from the astrodome in houston, tx, and the helicopters flying back and forth alll last night just kept me awake thinking about all those people over there. I cant really donate m...

Like everyone else said, its much like intro to psych, youll learn freud and erikson again, remember that stuff....theyll teach it to you 2 more times once youre already in nursing school...and by then youll be so happy to see it b/c they'll be the e...

Hey there, well Im into my second semester of nursing school now so I dont know everything about specializing, but from what my instructors have said you just get a general nursing degree (B.S), pass state boards, then get your job of your choice. Ev...

Hey there, just know that youre not alone in the race to get into nursing school! I was dealing with the same things you are last year, and luckily I got accepted into a BSN program this past Janurary, except I'm not pregnant and I cant even imagine ...
