I had a wonderful time at Harcum. I completed the ASN there in 11 months and was still able to keep my full time job. Villanova,Jefferson and admitted me also but I could not afford to leave my job for nursing. The pass rate for my class STARS 2010 was 98% on NCLEX. The instructors are great and highly experienced,most of them graduates of Penn. If you are entering nursing call the nursing department directly. They are very organized.The school might not be well organized but nursing folks are good. Also, if you are at Harcum as a second degree student you only need 12 credits to transition into the MSN. I am currently enrolled at La-Salle RN-MSN straight out of Harcum. I did not have to wait for one year.

Interferron: That is wonderful information. I had no idea that at La Salle you didn't have to wait for their RN to MSN program. I know many schools want you to have at least a yr under your belt. I thought I checked the MSN program at La Salle awhile back and it stated the same...maybe it was another school. How many classes do you have to take and what MSN program are you in?

Congrat!

I am in the RN-MSN Bridge program. With the ASN degree plus another bachelors, you only need to take three courses, four if you did not do statistics undergrad. I did statistics undergraduate so I am only taking three courses to bridge to the Family Nurse practitioner program. I am taking Nursing research this fall and will complete the bridge course in Spring with health assessment and international public health nursing.

Hello...

So i am applying to Harcum for the May 2011 Evening program...and I am soooo confused when they say Child Abuse Clearance and Criminal Background Clearance Original ONLY. On the form itself, it says to mail it to the address given on the form...and the school website it says original only. Anyone know if I should send it to the school with the attached or money orders or if its to the address on the form? And what do they mean by original??

Any information would be greatly appreciated and the sooner the better, because the deadline is Dec 1st!

Hi,

I just completed my application packet for the Evening program starting in May 2011. I requested the child abuse clearance, paid the $10, and a certificate came in the mail. That is what they need. I didnt want to waste any time so I called Katy at the admissions for the evening program and asked her if it was ok to bring it to her in person and she said that would be fine.

For the criminal check, i paid the $10, and it automatically told me i do not have a record, it allows you to print it, which i did, I made copies of it in case i need it for future reference soon, or if they claim they didnt receive it, and i stuck the print out along with my 2 letters of recomendation and essay.

I hope this helps. Dec 1 is the deadline. They will be making their decisions no later than March 2011.

By the way I requested both of these through the web. Its faster than completing a form and mailing it and waiting for the mail back. The only one you should wait for to be mailed to you is the child abuse clearance.

The criminal check should give you the results right away. Contact Katy ASAP so that you dont miss your deadline! She is very nice and helpful.

Thank you!!! I sent the application before the deadline...but unfortunately I didn't get my clearance forms back from the mail in time yet...so I have to wait till they come in to send the school the original. I spoke to Katy and she said send it in when i receive them so hopefully I'll still be considered. :(
