<p>This question is ignorant, but why does Penn actually have a nursing program?
When I think of nursing, I think of community colleges and third-tier schools, but not necessarily of the ivy league. I think of a badly paid profession with many long hours and of hardworking dedicated people who will always be in the doctors’ shadows.</p>
<p>Enlighten me, please!!!</p>
<p>yes, penn has a nursing program and nurses make lots of money, especially penn grads of the nursing school</p>
<p>because of the nursing shortage ne1 with a nursing degree gets a lot of job offers. if u got to penn and get into the nursing school you are required to take a class called "how to deal with all my job offers" and your average starting salary is around 60k</p>
<p>Nursing is actually a well-paid profession...nurses average 60-75k dollars. Admittedly, that may not seem like much to people on this website, but when you look at national averages or even college-graduate average, nurses make a lot of money.</p>
<p>I’m a guy from Kansas and I want to be a nurse at Penn. Penn is simply the best in tech. including their teaching labs and access to one of the countries top three hospitals for teaching. I am not going to explain my whole passion but I can tell you nursing is a respected field of work. Maybe you are thinking of a nurse tech or someone on ER. But if you have ever had surgery and been in ICU you would know exactly where I’m coming from.</p>
<p>B@r!um, truly you're a fine human speciman and I hope your genes make their way into the gene pool.</p>
<p>I bet nursing grad make 1.5-2 times more money than people at CAS who aren't working in Investment banking/consulting.</p>
<p>Most CASers are probably doomed to live impoverished lifestyles.
(This would include me if I were to be accepted.)</p>
<p>The fact that anyone from this thread will walk among me soon scares me</p>
<p>Please elaborate, JCov.</p>

Me? No I'm not. I applied ED to CAS.</p>
<p>nurses are invaluable to the medical field and should all be educated with the best resources and guidance possible. plz tell me u know that. </p>
<p>so i guess i wont start out doing IB and making six figure paychecks at 22... gimme a hoo-ha for the CAS EDers!</p>
<p>hoo ha for all those wharton EDers!!</p>
<p>with<em>one</em>voice: I think I was fairly straightforward. If I one day meet someone and they say "Jonathan Coveney? like on CC? I'm b@r!um" I will die on the inside. Hopefully I'll be drunk though so I won't care.</p>
<p>Haha, yeah for CAS EDers... As I said above, we are destined to live impoverished lifestyles.</p>
<p>get ur own cheer, hrithik!
the hoo-ha! is for me and my crew of cas eders >(</p>
<p>hey, i applied to the joint program with wharton.</p>
<p>if I ever meat Mr. Coveney I'll be sure to point out the fact that I'm JYankeesSS2...just to make him angry</p>
<p>except me :D i'm the musician haha</p>
<p>Jyankees, why would you want to meat Cov? wouldn't it be easier to meet him instead? </p>
<p>::trying to see how many bubbles i can burst::</p>
