I also do not have a Facebook, but would love to find another way to all stay connected somehow! Let me know if anyone has ideas!

Does anyone have instagram? That's really the only social media I use. That way we could be able to talk and familiarize ourselves with what each other looks like so hopefully we recognize one another on campus once we start and form a more stable network. Just an idea.

Hi everyone!

I just recently was accepted into a accelerated nursing program. I am from Oregon and am moving to Pennsylvania. One of my biggest concerns right now is being able to pay for all of this! The school itself costs about 40k and I accept the living to be on the more expensive side since it's a big city...all in all I'm expecting this to cost around 60k (AH!!).

I was just curious for people who have completed accelerated programs how they financed this? Were there any scholarships or private loans you would recommend? Were you able to hold a part-time job? I was thinking about picking up some babysitting jobs just to have a bit of extra spending money.

Any thoughts/suggestions/advice would be GREATLY appreciated! Since you all are already accepted I figured you'd know best!

Hey everyone! I was accepted a few weeks ago into the Spring 2015 ACE program. I was curious if anyone else from Lancaster County PA was accepted as well?? Looking forward to meeting y'all!

Okay, so I've decided I am going to make a basic FB account just for the ACE group. I have a friend in a PA program and she said the FB page for her class was invaluable. :) Look for my request!
