The ACE program is probably the most difficult program in the area, I said this because I finished it. As far as disorganized, I agree, however; I also have friends who goes to the Villanova and UPenn program, they also complained about their programs in terms of organization, knowledge of the instructors, etc. My point is, you will not find a perfect program. High drop out rate, yes, very high drop out rate, like I said before, it's a very difficult program. BUT, let me say this, the reason the drop out rate is so high, it's because they really prepare you. You can't expect to go through the ACE program with 86 credits in 11 months, and have over 99% nclex passing rate to be easy, right? One more thing, sometimes I get asked what program did I go to, I told them the ACE program, and they said, the ACE program from Drexel? and I said yes, they usually replied "wow, I don't know how you do it".

whoa, now i have a quick question. you said i must stop practicing. is that mean they gonna let me go? because i'll be working as gn, and will be taking the nclex maybe 3 weeks after i start. do anyone know that answer to that? will my hospital terminate my employment?

Crab guys, I still need some help or opinion after I checked out all the posts. I have an interview coming up, do you think I can just wear shirt and tie?

Thanks for the encouragement. This is for New York Presbyterian. I thought my resume is pretty good and she said my qualification are impressive.... I guess this is just a generic rejection email. I'm not sure if she meant I'm not qualify for the position, or I shouldn't be applying to NYP anymore, now I'm hesitated to apply other positions in NYP.

hi guys, I need your opinions, I have a job descriptions below, do you think it's suitable for new graduate? The reason I asked is because I got rejected for interview Clinical Nurse I - RN - Cardiac Telemetry Clinical Nurse I - RN -Cardiac Care Unit Both have the same Responsibilities The Clinical Nurse I is responsible for the direct provision of effective and comprehensive nursing care. Current New York State Licensure or eligibility for licensure as a Registered Professional Nurse. Graduate from an accredited School of Nursing. Bachelor's Degree in Nursing preferred.

If you don't have insurance, you can get the the shots from Drexel, it's a walk in office in Drexel/Hospital. You will have to pay in cash.

yea, the yellow is not a good kind of yellow. Everyone can spot you from miles away and know that you're from drexel; and you won't be hide when you're on the floor, hahaha. Some people get the shoes from that place i mentioned but I think they're pretty pricey... you can just get a pair of all white leather sneaker from footlocker or something....

It has to be a certain color to match Drexel's color, yellow top and dark blue bottom. Drexel provides you a place in the city where you go in and get fitted; they sew drexel's name on the scrub. You don't have to wear them to go to lecture, just clinical and CLRC lab.

Oh yea, they also give you stephescope and blood pressure cuff. The stephescope sucks, a lot of students bought better ones, but I'm fine with it. Once you get used to what you need to hear, you will catch it, but of course the good ones are much better. I would just use it first....

Tell him don't waste the money, it's true. The program will give you a PDA, it is included.

JDNNUrse is right, see all your good friends while you can because you won't see them much or at all for 11 months

Hey David, what do they mean by "season"? Is that mean they don't hire till next year? till fall? till the end of the summer? oh boy....

Hi suemom2kay, I'm from Philly area. That's what I've seen as well, there are plenty of PAs work in the EM etc, but not much of NPs. Do you mind telling me which hospital would that be? Just curious since I'm from the area as well.

I don't think is flooded, at least I hope not because I'm graduating in Sept. (hopefully). As far as requirment goes, I heard from a friend that Jefferson and HUP requires BSN now. There are many hospitals in the tri-state area, so just relax; concentrate on passing the board first while keep looking. Let's put it this way, if u can't pass the board, you can't get anywhere. But I believe jobs are out there. Does anyone has any input as far as "flooded" RN jobs in the Philly area? I hope not.....

Hi everyone, I hope you guys can answer some of my questions. I'm currently in an accel. BSN program and will be done in Sept. I eventually want to go to grad. school. I looked into emergency medicine and want to know if they use NPs in that area? I've seen PAs but not sure about NPs. If they do use NPs in the EM, what specity of NPs would that be? Family NP? Thanks.
