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 progra...

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 t...

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 U...

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?

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?...

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 ...

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 ...

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 cl...

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 b...

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; conce...

Free2Dream, Do you think having a MSN or NP would give one advantage accept to CRNA program? I just want to hear some opinion, I'm sure some would say no, some would say yes. For me, I think it would be. In addition, I thought about get the NP wh...

jrv, I believe being a NP would be more beneficial toward the background that you have! With your corporate experience and the nice degree from MIT. Especially if you want to get involve w/ the med. device, bio-sciences, having the general knowledge...

I agree w/ asianrn, don't worry about your gpa, i think it's fine... I'm too freaking out about gpa, but it is what it is. Like asianrn said, people on this board had gotten in w/ below 3.0, so it's really about the whole process/package. I truly b...

Ok Ok, i'll put my two cents in. I'm in the 3rd quarters in the program. From I've seen so far, people that who dropped out tend to be the ones who have a family (husband and kids), but there are also students w/ kids have no problem. It really co...

I'm not expert or nothing, but I think taking the ICU job would make much much more sense. I would take physics last if you really want to... But getting the work experience is more important. Plus those classes you mentioned, i don't think they'r...

I went to PSU as well, and I didn't remember we had that kind of grading scale, unless is recent. But back to the point, my GPA is ok right now but since I'm in an accel. program, I'm not sure how much I can prevent it from dropping... IMO, I think ...

Brad, do you mind to share what school would that be? I'm just curious because I'm from PA as well... i just wonder what school has such as grading system.... I can't believe if one gets a 93 would get a B, that's not cool.

One of my class mate is living at Stiles, i heard she said the rate is pretty reasonable. Stiles is literally right across the street, takes about 40 seconds walking from Stiles to classes/library/Hanne. hospita.

I used to work as an engineer in a major health care company before I'm an accl. BSN student. Again, this is just my opinion. The companies I worked for; majority of the directors, CEO and CFO have ivy degrees. In particular, the CEO and CFO have ...

Well said Texasgas, don't ever let anyone tell you what you can't do!
