Western University of Health Sciences

I am serioursly considering this school for Fall 2010...Seems far now but I am sure will be here closer than I know. Just checking how things are going with those of you enrolled or graduated?

I applied for Fall 2009 so hopefully I'll get in...this is the only school I've applied to so far.

I'm currently in my first semester at Western and I really like it. It's a lot of work but definetely worth it. Good luck to you all!!

carly84, about how many hrs do you need to study, etc? are you working full time? do you know how many people they accept who are already RNs versus direct entry? Sorry for so many questions.

I went to an information session for the direct entry and she said they receive about 300 applications for about 60 spots. They interview about 100 and then choose from that 100.
They also look at the overall applicant and not just your GPA, which is good.

I'm currently a first semester student and we dont start working full time untill next year. I tend to study a couple of hours everyday, sometimes this includes weekends. But they do stress the importance of having a pesonal life so it is important to take some days off to relax. I dont know how many people they accept versus direct entry students, this is a good question to ask the school. I know when i applied for the direct entry they interviewed 100 and accepted 50. Our class consist of 48 students.

Do they offer any nursing scholarships to help pay for the 1st 4 semesters of tuition?

The school does not offer scholarships.

Anyone else apply for Fall 2009??

I also am applying for Fall 2009.

Carly, do you know when we can expect to receive an interview invitation?

Thank you!
