about the nursing program in Shenandoah University

The laptop is for Shenandoah.

If you're in Chantilly, why not GMU?

I'm in Ashburn

IMO in the long run no one is going to care what school you went to or whether you enrolled in school A because you didn't get into school B. Those factors don't make anyone a better or worse professional in any field. Once you graduate you will be working alongside people who went to the famous schools and people who went to schools you never heard of. I can guarantee you won't find any correlation in their abilities as professionals. The main strike against a school like SU as far as I'm concerned is cost and also as someone said commuting west in the snow is indeed a bear. I've done it - only had to deal with one snow storm as I recall. Other than that it was a real pleasure to be going against traffic and that was always smooth sailing.

You are absolutely right, it is all about the money.
This is the worse school I have attended. Where have ou decided to attend Nursing school?

As for me, I looking to either Drexel, Thomas Jefferson, Temple, or Univ of Pennsylvania.

Let me know

Hello,
Thanks for that post.It was encouraging to have read that.I know you'r almost done with your program at leesburg by now,and am about to go in for the spring semester in 2010.I recently checked out the nclex pass rate for shanadoah it was between 70-75% which is quite low for a private school.Can u pls tell me how much the ABN actually cost per semester.They gave me the cost of the program to be about $50,000 overall.pls can you confirm if this is true? or it cost more as am actually planning to put every penny of it on student loan and I know they said we can't work but am actually planning to work on saturdays and sundays nights(private duty) so that I dont have to put my feeding money on student loans too. Is this possibly based on your experience? Also,do they have housing for 2nd degree nursing student at leesburg? I was on craigs list trying to search for rooms for rent in leesburg.There were just a few and the minimum cost was $750(that's expensive).Pls advise.
Thank you so much and God's favour on your nclex exam.

To those that have been accepted to SU? What were your cumulative GPA and pre-req GPAs??
Trying to gauge how competitive it is compared to Marymount....
