Hey WhiteShadows--our group varies a lot in ages--The youngest being 19, and the oldest being 41. There are quite a few people in their thirties, and many of us in our twenties. I'd say a little over half of the group has a previous degree (not necessarily a bachelor's degree, either)..I don't have a previous degree myself. There are now only 26 of us left in our group (we started last May with 32)...so we're a very close group, and we all know each other very well. I enjoy having such a small group! You will make some great friends in nursing school!

Hey Friendly Ghost! I have a question I was hoping you could answer. I sill have have to apply to UMSL for general admission (in order to take my Jr. level writing class in the spring). I was waiting until I get my grade for my summer class, A&P I, which should be around August 3rd to have my transcripts sent and apply. An advisor told me to apply for general admission by August 15th and then to apply for the Accelerated BSN program by Sept. 15th for the early admission dealine. I am really worried about the time frame...it's just a months difference and I'm worried about all the things that could go wrong....they won't get transcripts, it will take them longer to let me know if I am in or not, etc... The application to the BSN program asks for an UMSL student number so I already have to be accepted there to apply. So I guess my question is how long did it take them to let you know that you were accepted for general admission? Do they get transcripts quickly? I am so stressed lol Thanks!

Hey I totally understand where your stress is coming from--I was SO there last year! UMSL was pretty fast regarding the application process. If you're worried about whether or not they receive your transcripts, make sure to follow up constantly until they confirm it. I honestly don't remember how long it took them to get back to me with the approved application. (Sorry for not having that info) I can say that once you're in, time flies! My graduation is 2 weeks from today, and my last final is in a week and a half. I just got hired on for an ER nurse fellowship and am thrilled about that as well! Good luck!

For starters I would like to say CONGRATS and THANK U VERY MUCH to my friendly ghost! You have helped me so much in this process! Im very proud and u give me so much confidence given that you have successfully completed this program. Thumbs^!

Now!, to WhiteShadows. We need to be friends! hopefully well both get in the early admit. My suggestion for u is to not worry about the transcript with A&P course included. Only the college of nursing will care about that and u can just have them sent that over once ur a student. That should allow the university more time to process u and admit u. I am currently a student at UMSL too but i dont have any classes there. Im still full time at Flo. I basically just have a student # and an email address. Also, make an appointment with a counsler to do the early admissions. That was what my counsler told me to do.

Best of luck! Hope to see u next summer!

P.S. I, too am taking my jr. level @ umsl next spring. maybe we can do it together as we get prepared for the nursing program. Im sure it'll be here before we kno it!

Hey Libra! Yea, I think I am going to go ahead and send the transcripts on Monday and apply for general admission. Do you remember how long it took for them to get back to you? Have you applied yet for the Accelerate Program? I've met with an advisor once back in Spring and she was very helpful...I feel like I have just forgotten everything she told me. lol When you said to make an appointment with a counsler to do early admissions...Do you mean to meet with an advisor to fill out the application and stuff?

Yea, it'd be fun to take College Comp. together...we'll have to see how our schedules match up and everything.

PS. Does anyone know how many posts you need until you can PM? I thought I heard 15 so I have a few to go!

Hey, i don't exactly remember how long it took. i appled through the DAP (dual admissions program) as soon as i started college so i dont know if that makes it a longer or shorter process. I got my acceptance letter i think like 2 weeks later. I have not applied for the accelerated program yet, i got an appointment to do that on the 17th with a counsler. I dont know if that is a standard practice to do it with them or not, i was just told to. I have been talkin to them alot so if u have any questions i will try and answer them. I still have to continue being a full time student @ Flo in the spring so i wanna do it either before all the classes at flo or after. UMSL puts their spring classes online in oct so we can see then.

Hey Friendly Ghost! I was just wondering what your schedule is like. I mean do you get like a summer break and spring break in the accelerated program? How long is the Christmas break? I was just wondering because my brother is getting married next August and I am super worried I will have a ton of exams then...lol...o well nothing that can be done about it I guess!

You will still get some breaks! Christmas break (between fall and spring semesters) is just like everyone else in college--about 4-5 weeks off. That will be your longest break. You also still get spring break in March, and after your first semester is completed around the end of July/early August, you will also have about 2-2.5 weeks off then as well. It may be accelerated, but thankfully they still give some breaks! You will need them...I know I did!
