Any VCU AMSN/ABSN Summer 2012 Hopefuls?

[mas28]

Hi everyone, I'm new to allnurses.com. I recently applied to VCU's accelerated MSN program. I KNOW I'M EARLY, BUT I'M VERY ANXIOUS. The deadline is nov 1st. We won't hear anything back till February. I just wanted to put something out here to see what people thought, who applied, and if they know anything about admission process. Any input and insight is welcomed. (amount of students accepted, gpa calculation, etc.)

Talk to you soon,

Also clinicals cost $90/hour. All these numbers are last years, it's my understanding that 2012-13 will be 15% tuition increase and 2013-14 will have a 17% increase. (I think) I will go check those projected increases

[jt43]

Oops, I didn't remember the increases right. It's 9.5% for FY2013 and 12.1 for FY2014. Also to clarify, it's $90 per clinical unit

thanks jt43. sadly it's not even the most expensive among my schools! but it's the only acceptance i have thus far so i'll have to see what happens.

Hi all-- not sure if anyone is checking this thread still. I got in to the Accelerated BS program. Anyone know if we are allowed to start a facebook page? I didn't see one that existed yet but didn't want to get in trouble for initiating it. I'd love to talk to others about the plans for housing, etc.

A Facebook group was created titled "VCU ABSN Class of 2013." Hope that helps :)

Hi, i also applied to the amsn program at vcu and got waitlisted. I have been reading these forums for a while now but only signed up today. Has anybody that was waitlisted, been pulled off the waitlist. I have been contacting the son but as always, they give very little info, so ANY information here is awesome!

I know this post is old... but I am applying to the 2013 accelerated nursing program and from online I can see that the application is due Nov 1 2012, but I wanted to know if any of you remember when the application actually opened.

Did they get rid of the accelerated MSN program for non-nurses? I can't find it anywhere on the website!!!

[meep05]

does vcu have a accelerated msn for non-nursing majors anymore, i don't see it on the website

[jt43]

VCU no longer has an AMSN program.

If you don't mind me asking, I am interested in knowing what your job duties as a care partner at VCU.
