Does anyone know how the transition from phase 2 to 3 works? Is it possible to be accepted into the accelerated program and not move on to the third phase for the speciality that you choose? Thanks
I would document it because if you "lie" on your application and it comes up that would most likely prevent you from getting the job. I would explain in detail what occurred.
I have a friend that was accepted into Emory's accelerated BSN/MSN program. What I can tell you is that it is very competitive. My friend had a 3.9 GPA with a science related degree and was placed on the waiting list. Luckily someone else decided to ...

I would recommend retaking a few of the main science prereqs to raise your GPA to at least a 3.0 because you are not far off from it. I believe Kent State's accelerated program requires at least a 2.5 GPA. I would also try to collect outstanding lett...
I will be starting my program soon and this is my biggest worry! I am so concerned about graduating and not being able to find a job in OH or GA. I know that a lot of hospitals have hiring freezes for new grads and that is a tad bit unsettling.
I recently changed my career. I graduated with a degree in Psychology and worked in substance abuse treatment centers. While I did love my job I knew nursing was a better fit for me so I applied to an accelerated BSN/MSN program and was accepted. Jud...

I agree with Wendy79. I think you should be careful about burning bridges so I would definitely ask how long do you have before you need to accept or deny the position and contact the other manager to see what your chances are or when she will be mak...
Very funny!!! Thank God I learned to smile consistently through cheerleading. I never thought that would come in handy! I will prepare myself now after reading this post and remember to be thankful for the pleasant patients.
I think people should just monitor who has access to their account and ultimately keep business and pleasure separate. I do not see anything wrong with having a drink in your personal time but that could have a negative impact on your business life w...
From my experience I think Ohio nursing programs are easier to get into. I did my undergraduate education in Atlanta, GA and remained there after I graduated. I decided to do an accelerated nursing program in Atlanta and had a really hard time gettin...
Hey BJ, I am starting in January as well! It's great to see other people on this site that will be in the same cohort! Do you mind passing along the information that was shared with you about the job outlook after the program? I had the same concerns...
Thank you! I will keep that in mind. Did you attend the UC Accelerated nursing program? If so how did you like it and when did you begin your post-grad job search?
Hello everyone, I was recently accepted into the University of Cincinnati's Accelerated MSN program for the spring 2011 cohort. I was wondering if there were any other people out there that have been accepted as well and if any past or current studen...
