  1. UPENN ABSN Program, is it worth it?

    As a Penn ABSN/MSN alum I thought I would weigh in on this question - the answer is yes and no. I was very happy with the education I received at Penn through the ABSN program and I felt more than well-prepared to enter clinical practice. Having sai...
  2. UPenn BSN/MSN 2012

    Great! Just send me a PM, and I'll give you my personal email address.
  3. UPenn BSN/MSN 2012

    Hi Everyone! Congratulations on your decision to enter the nursing profession! I just graduated from the BSN portion of the UPENN program, and am starting my first RN job on Monday. Super exciting! Just wanted to let you know that I'm available to...
  4. UPenn BSN/MSN 2010

    Just curious if any accepted students have heard about the RWJ scholarship (if you applied for it). I thought we were supposed to hear on March 1st. I didn't get an email . . . wondering if that's bad news
  5. Johns Hopkins BSN/MSN Fall 2010 Anyone?

    Thanks, vfro! That really clarifies things. I was completely clueless about the whole deposit process. (By the way, I'm Marina (suprise, surprise) on Facebook. Amojo99 - are you on Facebook? Thanks!
  6. Johns Hopkins BSN/MSN Fall 2010 Anyone?

    Thanks for your thoughts! I am pretty clueless about the whole "deposit" thing. Is it a firm commitment, saying "Yes, I will go to this school no matter what the financial aid award says, and I am canceling my applications to all the other program...
  7. Johns Hopkins BSN/MSN Fall 2010 Anyone?

    This is a question for those who have been accepted. I found out today from Financial Aid that they will not be sending out financial aid information until April! That is one month after the deposit deadline. I am not sure how to deal with this. ...
  8. UPenn 18 month Accelerated Nursing Program

    Good for you - I bet that felt amazing. I'm still waiting for financial aid from Hopkins . . . I'll probably be waiting until the last minute! My other dilemma with Penn is that, because I am married, they are not counting living expenses as part o...
  9. UPenn BSN/MSN 2010

    I agree! Hopkins should NOT ask us to decide without knowing the financial consequences. That seems really manipulative to me! Which is sad because Hopkins is my #1 choice - I love the global health focus, the incredible School of Public Health, e...
  10. UPenn BSN/MSN 2010

    I agree! A great dilemma to have. I actually thought the cost difference was much greater between the two programs. (I thought Penn was only $40K. Forgot about the summer!) I would LOVE to go to Hopkins because they have a fantastic School of Pu...
  11. UPenn BSN/MSN 2010

    Another question . . . is anyone choosing between Hopkins and Penn? How are you thinking about the two options? How are you dealing with not having financial aid info from Hopkins but having to make a decision between the two so soon? Just curious...
  12. UPenn BSN/MSN 2010

    Sorry for posting the same question in so many different places, but I'm wondering if anyone is driving from or through Boston - would love to car-pool, share expenses, etc. Thanks!
  13. UPenn Accelerated BSN 18 mos program

    Hi Everyone! (I've posted this in another list already - just trying this one too!) I was wondering if anyone is planning to go to the Penn Accepted Students Day on Friday 02/26, and if any of you are planning to drive from or through Boston. I would...
  14. UPenn 18 month Accelerated Nursing Program

    Hi Everyone! I was wondering if anyone is planning to go to the Penn Accepted Students Day on Friday 02/26, and if any of you are planning to drive from or through Boston. I would love to car-pool with you (I'll pitch in for gas, of course), and I t...
  15. Penn vs Johns Hopkins?!

    Me too - I have been accepted to both programs as well for ABSN/MSN/MPH. Also a tough choice for me (but so happy to have this choice to make!). My plan is to take a look at financial aid offers and hope that helps me decide. Unfortunately, JHU se...
