Not bad for nursing
- I went to Penn about five years ago to get my bachelors and masters in nursing. Although nursing school is notoriously difficult and sometimes arbitrary, I had a good experience there and got a great education. The teaching staff was split between the camp that was invested in teaching us and the camp that was committed to research and taught because they had to. Mostly, though, the profs were helpful and wanted us to be prepared for our careers. I've worked as an RN on a hospital floor, a nurse practitioner in a primary care office, a nursing supervisor for a community nursing program and a writer - and I feel as if they prepared me well for most aspects of these careers.
