congrats on graduating! did you pass nclex yet if so hows your job search?! i was gonna try this school or drexel but i liked that maybe i can be nursing while completing my bsn. i also hear its hard to get hired without a bsn. congrats again

rayne215- i am taking my nclex next week (and i am freaking out!), and have a job interview tomorrow. looking for jobs is hard right now because of the economy, but hopefully it will be straightened out before you graduate. just so you know, you are in an asn-bsn program at jeff so when someone says asns won't get hired, remind them that the program is both. you are seamlessly enrolled into the bsn and believe it or not it does make a difference.

I just wanted to update you guys and let you know that I took my NCLEX last Monday and I did indeed pass! I'm officially an RN!! Yay! :nurse:

congrats! i start the program next week, any advice?

NICU Nic · Aug 27, 2009

I have tons of advice and sent you my email address so you could keep in touch- believe me you will be ahead of the game knowing someone that finished that program! You should have a senior mentor- and I know a lot of those guys too. Utilize them- that is what they are there for. If your mentor doesn't do the best job, you can contact me. I also have tons of study guides and things like that I can send you.

The best piece of advice I can give you is- nursing school is hard. Expect it. A lot of people think it is an "easy" way to get into the medical field because most programs are 2 years and that is simply not so. In those 2 years, you will learn tons of information and will come out thinking completely different. I went in with no medical background AT ALL and even if I had, nursing is not the same as being an aide or a tech. They will tell you that on the very first day.

Shoot me an email. I'd be happy to help you out, future nurse! :nurse:

hi, my classmate and i are currently obtaining our associate degree in allied health and were weighing our options on which nursing program is the best as far as between drexel university or thomas jefferson university, any kind of information will be helpful.

thank you
