ABSN Hopeful

Latest Activity

  1. MCPHS Manchester ABSN

    Right now I live in Mass near the NH border. I really hope I get in to this program but I'm nervous. My undergrad grades could be better, but I've done a lot academically and professionally since then so I'm hoping that will make up for it.

    I'm waiting to get back a recommendation and then I'm submitting, hopefully this week as well. I'll keep you posted if I hear anything. Good luck with yours!

    mcphs. they have a stated due date of june 1st for fall start, but admissions said they review applications as they arrive. previously worcester only had a spring start, but they now offer a fall start as well. the cohort that started this month ha...

    thanks for the updates everyone. the waiting is a lot tougher than i expected. i really wish there was a more standardized process for absn programs. i'm waiting to hear from mghihp before i submit my application to a second school because that sch...
  5. BSN: 55K for 1 year vs. 4K for 2 years

    like i said, i was oversimplifying. but if the op goes to a 2 year program and will not work as stated s/he is guaranteed to not be making a decent salary that second year. yes the job market is very tough, but if they do the one year accelerated the...
  6. BSN: 55K for 1 year vs. 4K for 2 years

    with that i would say you could go either way. the way i look at it, the absn program is 55k of debt, and 1 year of lost wages. the 2 year program is 4k of debt but 2 years of lost wages. if you expect to make, say, 50k per year when you graduate,...
  7. financial aid

    yes, it’s your adjusted gross. if you made about the same salary in 2009, to get an idea of what you're expected to pay you could fill out last year's fafsa. you'll get an expected family contribution (efc). in most cases your financial aid award wil...
  8. BSN: 55K for 1 year vs. 4K for 2 years

    i’ll play devil’s advocate because i think the answer might not be as clear cut as it seems. the question is: can you work while you're doing the two year program? if not, is someone supporting you financially while you go back to school? if the ans...
  9. Am I nursing school material??

    congrats on a great start! gen chem can be tough, but you did well in your other chem course so you should be in good shape. since you're coming from a cc, be sure to meet with your advisor regularly to make sure you’re taking classes that will trans...
  10. Scared but Determined...

    also working as a cna while you're in school can help in getting a job once you're done. in addition to experience you'd have access to internal job postings and have the opportunities to make great connections. good luck!
  11. Am I going to be doing to much?? Advice needed!!

    i wouldn't worry too much about taking the a&p lab online. there are some great software programs and high quality textbooks that can get the job done. and you seem satisfied with micro online. but, regardless of where or how you take a&p it'...
  12. i would worry about trying to complete an lvn program while you’re also completing a ba or bs in some other field, it could be a pretty tough workload. if your eventual goal is an absn or direct-entry msn program you’re going to need strong grades to...
  13. help with my admission essay

    it sounds like you have worked very hard to get where you are and it seems like you have a compelling story to tell, but with your current writing skills you're going to have a tough time getting that story across. remember, the essay isn’t just a ch...
