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 currently attend BCC and I also applied to Aria in the fall. I have an associates in Science from CCC so all my pre reqs are completed. I also took the TEAS, they were based off of a 12th grade curriculum so if you can remember that far back you should be fine lol. Just kidding it was fairly easy I didn't study at all and scored Proficient but I'm thinking of retaking it to increase my chances. I would suggest using a study guide and doing a practice test but don't sweat it too much. You'll do fine. I've given up on being nervous because I know I won't get in. I didn't get into Gynedd Mercy so I figure the same will be for Aria. I've decided to just do an LPN program and work my way up.
You never know what will happen, just because one school didn't accept you, doesn't mean the next one won't. The same will apply after you graduate, you may have to apply to a few jobs before you get hired, or you may be lucky and get hired at the first place you try. The point is that your attitude matters. Try to stay positive! Hopefully things will pan out for you this time.

Thanks I will try to stay positive and in any case I have my back up plan set up so yea Im sure ill be fine. Thanks :)
@ awarren, thanks for looking. I thought I must have been overlooking it. Hopefully they are still running the program. I'm surprised at the one year commitment, Underwood Memorial Hospital in South Jersey used to do a similar program but you were required to stay with them for two years. It just shows how much times have changed, my friends mom went to work there as a new grad like 3 years ago and they even had a $5,000 bonus for that two year commitment! But unfortunately they are not doing it anymore at the moment.
Hello present and future Aria nursing students!
I absolutely love this site and I have been following up with Aria threads that have helped me make my decision to attend this amazing school. I will be starting in September 2012 and can't wait to talk to more students who will be in class with me!
I was torn between BSN accelerated programs and the program at Aria. I know the Aria program will better suit me and the amount if clinical hours is much more compared to the BSN programs. I just know it will be rough coming out with just a diploma as opposed to BSN, but hopefully things will make a bit of a turnaround when we finish.

I had no clue about the loan forgiveness program! I tried to look up more information about it but wasn't able to find it, could you send me the link, I would like to read up on that?!
