    Butters111, Congrats on getting accepted at Western! I looked at Western's MSN-Entry FNP track... It looks like a great program! However, the total cost for tuition is $111,000. How do they suggest financing this?

    Thank you. It is a very great program! Yes, tuition is very expensive and I will have to take out loans, but it will be worth it at the end.

    Anyone else exhausted after this morning??? What a great day! It is overwhelming what a great group they have to choose from. I can see how it would be a really tough process to get the pool down to 40! The faculty were all so kind. It makes me more excited than ever to get started.Just for the lurkers, I thought I would write down the questions I could remember so that if anyone is thinking about applying in the future, you might know what to expect... Do you expect to work while in the program?how do you deal with failure? Give an example?How do you do with criticism? Give an example.Are you a leader or a follower? Explain.Define what critical thinking is and how it relates to the profession of nursing.What do you expect from a career in nursing?what sets you apart from the other candidates?What are your strengths coming into an accelerated program? What weaknesses could take you away?How do you feel about policy and procedure? Define chain of command.what 3 words do you think described nursing today?Are you the type of person who jumps right in or feels the waters first?Those are the ones I can think of off the bat... it was a long morning but really pretty great. Can you guys think of others I missed?BTW, CubanRob, I think I saw you from a distance... sorry I didn't get a chance to say hi! Hope you felt good about the morning!

    I think you got most of it. I'm in a daze because it was just a blur, but I felt I had a really good morning. The staff were definately wonderful and really gracious. My group was awesome and they were on thier game. I think the next few weeks are definately gonna be torture. I thought waiting for the invite to interview was tough, geez. The wait for a final decision will be brutal. I will be hounding my E-mail and phone. We should have had a "Allnurses" meeting just to put a face to the username.
