Aria School of Nursing September 2012

Published

Hi all, I'm new to this site (just joined today). But I've been lurking for a few weeks. I'm applying for the Aria Health SON and would love to meet others who are applying for the September 2012 academic year.

I not sure about scholarships, my financial packet only included pell and pheaa grant. The payment is $160 to accept admission, which due like two weeks after you receive your acceptance letter. All I can say is be ready to spend some money. Background check fees, uniforms and the drug test fee are all out of pocket expenses.

Hey awarren,

What vaccinations did you have to get that are necessary to start the program?

I already had all my childhood vaccs so my dr ordered titers for everything. But I had to get a tetnus, flu shot and start the hepatitis b series. Also a 2 part tb test.

I switched drs and my new dr didn't have my complete medical records, an archive request wouldn't taken a while. Titer is a blood test to make sure you have the specific antibody.

Hello everyone my name is Holly Parker. I applied to Aria School of Nursing for September 2012 also. I was told by Julie that the deadline for the application paperwork was March 15th, not March 1. (Also, the application packet says March 15, but not the website.) I wonder if this will affect the date we will hear back about acceptance?

I was glad the deadline was later because I hit a personal rough spot in February... and I temporarily forgot I needed to send in my essay and transcripts and it was the last week of February. I was a bit bummed I didn't have time to set up an interview with Julie, although I did speak with her on the phone. Everyone on the forums makes that sound like a school interview is the best way to sway the school in your favor. Oh well. I'm hoping for the best, but nervous knowing there are 400 applicants. "Speaking it into existence" as you have said!!!

These blogs have really helped me know what to expect and learn how to maneuver through the application process. (Like logging into the applicant checklist) Nice! I'm praying I get in and trying to put my fear and anxiety in God's hands. I began the process of taking pre-reqs 5 years ago after my first child was born. Three colleges and two kids later...here I am applying nursing schools...finally. Aria is definitely #1 on my list.
