Good! I'm glad it all worked out for you. That's even awesome that you're right on track for keeping with the VA Beach schedule and saving all that $$$$. I will definitely keep you in mind, as I'm going through the nursing classes...can tell you whic...

Yes, Hampton's program is a BSN program, which of course is better than an ADN program (in terms of you might be more "marketable", and you also need a BSN to go on to get your masters for advanced nursing), but the COST is the killer part. The cost ...

Lacy, Thanks for the update. Though I'm sorry to hear that you didn't get in either, it did make me feel a little better. After meeting with one of the nursing academic advisors and reviewing my transcripts, the best option for me is going to be to...

Lacy~ Got my letter today. I didn't get in. Which really doesn't make sense because I had a 3.0 cumulative GPA and all of my sciences done. I'm flippin' mad... Please let me know how it goes for you. I'm hoping better than me! Tara

Yes, I'm done with all of the non-nursing classes, with the exception of World Civilization I and II. But I can do that in the next few weeks through TCC. If I attend Hampton this Fall, I will actually be starting my clinicals. But I really am hoping...

Hi Tia, Yes, you do apply to the main campus. Beware though- there is alot of things about the VA campus that they fail to advertise/inform about...or atleast not clearly. I just had my academic advisment today (as Hampton U is my "fall-back" if I do...

Funny she told you they were mailed out Friday...I called yesterday too and I was told the letters won't be out until Thursday! That really makes me mad!
doulagirl replied to doulagirl's topic in Virginia
Here we are, the 18th, and still no letter. The mail already came today, so mayve tomorrow. I know I'm impatient, but it's getting slightly annoying... If they post a "Notification Deadline" of May 15th, it makes you think that you'll have your lette...

Wow...I don't even know where to start...First of all, thank you so much for mentioning the fact that the VA Beach campus had a lower tuition. When I read that, I wasn't sure if it was correct, so I called Hampton U to verify. Of course, yes it is tr...

Hi Lacy! Thanks for responding. It's nice to know that there is atleast one other person waiting with me! ; ) I was accepted last year to Hampton University, but after getting more details about it, I decided it wasn't for me. I already have a B.S. i...

Hi Cherry Blossom, Wich program at NSU did you apply to? I applied to the ADN program. Have you heard back? I too am anxious! Will let you know when I get the letter....

Wow! There is no one else in the Hampton Roads area that applied to Norfolk State's nursing program? I thought there would be more than just me! Well...I'm here...anxiously awaiting... : )

Hi indiawhitaker, Your age should never be a consideration. You should be evaluated on your GPA, completed pre-req.'s, and your presence. From experience, I know what it's like to be young and sometimes not be taken seriously simply because of your ...

I'm going through CAPPA and the whole set-up seems great because they have a traditional route, which you obtain training in your local area, and they also have a distance route, which the materials are mailed to you! After you receive your training ...
