Hii I actually don't know too many international students in the nursing program but I do know a few that worked part time jobs. I believe it's the same regulations as any other undergrad at Penn. There are a few summer programs at Penn to support students from more low-income backgrounds transition that I think are free/subsidized(?), but there are also four pre-orientation programs that are just a few days to one week (Pennacle, Pennquest, Pennarts, etc) but those you have to pay for.

You can message me on ig @shareyorokobi :)

Sorry for the late response! I would suggest to do anything related to nursing/medical field! For example healthcare clubs at school, volunteering at the hospital or nursing home, or some summer pre-med programs on college campuses. These extracurriculars aren't just to build up your resume but it's to confirm for yourself whether or not nursing is something you want to seriously pursue. Let me know if you have any other questions!

@@LilianChen Thank you for your response! Do you have any specific summer programs that you suggest?

Hopefully you get into Penn, I'm actually applying to Penn Nursing too.

@@RaphaelMwita-e6r when are you applying?

Hi! I applied RD because there are a lot of local nursing schools in california (where I’m from) so I wanted to compare offers. I had a 4.0, 1530 SAT, 6 APs, and my extra curricular ranged from student government, FBLA, nursing home volunteering, and church volunteering. My essays were focused on a personal relational conflict I had in the past (common app) rather than based on a passion or extracurricular. My penn essay was focused on how my past related to nursing/business and how I would apply myself in nursing/business at Penn in the future. Hope that helps!

Sorry for late response! I lived in 516 if I remember correctly. One side faced the streeet and the other side faced the garbage Area haha. Not as amazing views as the high rises but it was ok!

@@LilianChen that’s good to know, thank you!!

Sorry for the late response (KZbin sometimes doesn't send me notifications when people comment haha) but yes... have been and forever will be haikyu's #1 fan and OST supporter xD Glad you enjoyed the videos and that's cool we have so much in common! (most importantly acting like a kid...)

Glad this video was helpful :) At Penn you can definitely do an internal transfer. If you start talking with your advisor at the start of Freshman year, you can def finish in 4 years on a normal schedule. I know that at UCLA though they don't accept internal transfers into the School of Nursing, only external transfers (like 2 years community college then 2 years at UCLA nursing). Just something to keep in mind!

@@LilianChen thank you so much!! Someone had told me it was basically impossible to transfer from A & S -> Nursing and I honestly got scared off. This is really reassuring to hear and I’m probably sending my SIR by the end of this week!!

Thanks for leaving a comment! I will preface by saying I have never formally worked or done an internship in the finance industry. But as a general principle, I believe that usury is wrong. Loans are intended to assist those who are currently in need of financial resources, and interest can be used as a manner of enforcing that the the amount of money gets paid back in a reasonable amount of time, and that the borrower can exercise wisdom and discernment with their own financial resources. The Bible states very clearly in Proverbs 22:16 that oppressing the poor will lead to eventual poverty. When it comes to the modern finance industry, there is never a "win win" situation. Someone gets taken advantage of, someone gets an advantage. It is the desperation for more money and power, which is termed as a a "root of all kinds of evils" in 1 Timothy 6:10 that leads to this behavior. The recent falls of Silicon Valley Bank, the Wall Street recession in 2007, and even the economic downturn of the tech industry reveal that we cannot put our hope in money and the accumulation of it. Furthermore, those who have the advantage and oppress others will one day be called to account for their deeds. If we are blessed with resources and financial security, we have a responsibility to steward these resources well-towards things that have an eternal benefit, not temporary worldly gain. Long answer, but a big reason why I had to spend a long time determining my future career path. I struggled with the ethics of the corporate world, but even with nursing it is difficult, knowing that the healthcare system (+insurance and pharmaceuticals) are intended to make a profit off of everyone... which is why salaries for healthcare professionals are so high compared to other countries. Thanks for taking the time to ask!

So glad to hear this video was helpful!! 😄 and yes, life is sooo much more than money and the name brand!

So the standard clinical rotations are: OB, med-surge, geriatrics, psych, peds, then community. For your final leadership rotation, you can choose between any of them, but there are limited spots. I unfortunately did not get placed where I wanted, because the spots I chose (Peds and ICU) were high demand. I think you can rank 7-8 spots but you have to be specific about the floors (ex: Pediatric ICU, or pediatric emergency department, etc.) The spots were chosen supposedly based on GPA (but I'm doubtful of this). Let me know if you have any other q's!

@@LilianChen Thank you for taking the time to answer back🙂

Hi you can message me on instagram @operationukulele :)

Good luck!! Hoping all the best for you :)

How did it go?

@Gina Kuah How did it go?

Hi! I know a nursing student who also was on the track and field team. I’m sure it’s not easy but also Penn will accommodate you as much as possible! It’s definitely not impossible :)

We had to buy scrubs ourselves every year (around $50+ per pair if I remember correctly) unfortunately haha

The financial aid doesn’t cover that ?
