2. PLU ELMSN 2017

   MSNhopeful replied to sso94's topic in Washington

   Talking about misconceptions and expectations (reiterating what other ELMs have said): 1) You may feel at some point in the program that you don't understand or get everything and that's okay. The program is designed to make you learn the bare minimu...

   MSNhopeful replied to sso94's topic in Washington

   Keep in mind also you will be signing a contract saying that you agree not to work at all during the first year of the program (pre-licensure). After you are licensed you are allowed to work 0.5-0.6 FTE for the final year of the program (MSN portion)...

   Hi Kocono, I believe during orientation they can give you a more detailed look at the program costs. It looks like the total cost over 2 years is about $70,000. You can go to their website to find out more here Program Cost | Master of Science in Nu...

   MSNhopeful replied to sso94's topic in Washington

   Hi bsnhopefulmj, With BSNs I'm not entirely sure to be honest, since I work in the grad admissions office. I would imagine there is a sort of rubric they use since there has to be objectivity in order to find out who is the most competitive. I think ...

   MSNhopeful replied to sso94's topic in Washington

   Being waitlisted does not necessarily mean you are rejected. In the very beginning they weed out all applicants who do not meet minimum criteria. After that, they have a grading rubric with an actual numerical score that scores you on GPA, GRE, Recom...

   MSNhopeful replied to joshmiller2010's topic in General Students

   Hi Username invalid, Yes I have my previous bachelor's degree and had to complete all the prerequisites for entry into the program. The first year we do all the required courses, labs, and clinicals required to learn about nursing and to take the NCL...

9. Number One Pet Peeve in Nursing School: Future "Paycheck Nurses"

   MSNhopeful replied to joshmiller2010's topic in General Students

   I'm a student in an accelerated (no nursing background) MSN program and I'm in it for the paycheck AT THIS POINT IN TIME. Do I hope to find a passion? Yes. If I don't find a passion will it suck? Yes. Will I quit or burn out? Probably not. It's a job...

10. PLU ELMSN 2016

    MSNhopeful replied to edwardfl's topic in Washington

    All I've heard is that they've increased available spots from 20 to 24. I don't think there is a way to find out waitlist position unless you emailed them directly. Even then they may or may not give out that information. That would be really nice if...

    Congrats on getting in! I didn't get an interview for community public health so I'll just assume I can't get in because with how many applicants are applying the waitlist must be really long even if people drop out. Wishing you all the best of luck!

    I haven't heard back from Community Public Health track yet. I was offered admission to PLU so I will probably go with PLU since their deadline is Feb. 28 to accept or decline (or else they can offer spots to those on waitlist).

    I haven't received mine yet either. I'm also out of town for the next 10 days so I will be relying on my roommates to keep an eye out for it when they check the mail. I went ahead and submitted my deposit and acceptance online. I doubt I will get i...
