    bigdreams01 posted a topic in General Students

    Okay, this is going to sound way more dramatic than it needs to be, but I just need to know if I can "bounce back" from this. I've always been a lazy student in high school. I was involved in many...

    Do you mind if I ask what type of grad school you went for? Was it nurse practitioner, CRNA, ...? Also, this B+ isn't final. It's the midterm grade which is just an estimate of where I stand so far....

    bigdreams01 replied to bigdreams01's topic in General Students

    Thanks for the input & advice! I found that La Salle was not right for me and I decided to attend Drexel U. I love the opportunities they give nursing students through co-ops and their facilities...

  15. Is my nursing school reputable? Job outlook? La Salle University

    bigdreams01 replied to bigdreams01's topic in General Students

    I agree.. I got into Drexel's BSN program just a few days ago so I'm hoping to go there. Their NCLEX pass rate has always been above 96% so it's definitely a more well-rounded program. They also have...

    bigdreams01 replied to bigdreams01's topic in General Nursing

  19. Likelihood of a new grad getting an ER job?

    bigdreams01 replied to bigdreams01's topic in General Nursing

    Oh, I'm sure most CRNA schools I saw required ER experience and only some required ICU. Guess I was wrong. I'm sure Drexel's co-op for ICU will help me land an ICU job,

    bigdreams01 replied to bigdreams01's topic in General Nursing
