<p>i think i may “backdoor” into nursing if i get in. 
</p>
<p>Why would you want to insult the Penn Nursing students and program? You apparently are missinformed......it is a selective program with a great reputation. As to back door........there is a joint program w/ Wharton & Nursing. I really don't like students who bash nursing considering the US has a huge nursing shortage. I hope you don't need the care of a nurse anytime soon. All nursing programs need more students and your bashing doesn't help.</p>
<p>step back, hazmat. you know me better than that.
all i meant was that i'm into medicine right now, and i might consider taking classes at nursing and maybe switching over there.
believe me, i know all about nursing's quality and the sweeping shortage of nurses accross the US. and i know you know me better than to think i would say anything as bad as what you just accused me of. gee.....</p>
<p>was it the smiley? i just like the smiley</p>
<p>EDIT: yeah, ok. maybe that didn't look so great. i wrote those three things entirely seperately, though. I thought it was funny that we only had 3 nurses to go with our 105 CAS/SEAS/Whartonites, is all</p>
<p>I'm glad you cleared that up........lots of folks accuse the Penn Nursing students of bringing down the stats of the entering class......being the easy program, getting into a hard school the easy way. None of those comments are valid and I have just decided to defend our nursing program and students on CC. I am proud of our program and its recent expansion. Any person who studies nursing is a hero in my book. </p>
<p>I know you don't usually post negatives but I am just really watching out for all those nurses at my school. They rock and we all need to recruit as many of them as we can.</p>
<p>couldn't agree more. thus, i'm considering nursing, if i get in.</p>
<p>It is a great program and I hope you get in and enjoy all of us backing you. I have met some amazing nursing school candidates and they are all smart and interesting. I know you will love Penn and Philly.</p>
<p>The nursing school at Penn sounds excellent, though I haven't read too much into it, people have told me of its great program. If I did not apply to CAS, I would have applied to the school of nursing, but several reasons made me choose to apply to the College over the nursing school: it seems as though CAS is more flexible, it seems as though nurses are very stressed especially today and I don't know if I could handle it, and outside of family members and a little personal research, I have not had much experience with the nursing (or even the medical) field. It sounds like a demanding career, and I would feel as though I would have to make the 'be all end all' decision of becoming a nurse if I do go to a nursing school.</p>
<p>If anyone could clarify or bring insight on the school of nursing, it would be most beneficial to us all!</p>
<p>Lots of nurses do teaching, research and administration. Some specialize and then attach to a specialty.........quite specific knowledge and skill.</p>
<p>yes, you could always get a career as a professor at a nursing school. also you could go to grad school for any science, really, and many nurses go on to become doctors. where's that "what can i do with my major" link. it might show something about nurses?</p>
<p>Nurses also work for insurance companies and law firms reviewing claims. They work for bigpharma companies and also private institutions such resorts and camps.</p>
<p>yeah.</p>
<p>fyi: avg. salary reported was $52k</p>
<p>28 reports: 19 full time nurses, 7 grad students, and idk about the rest</p>
<p>what happened to staycee. i thought she got in?</p>
