My name is Jess and I am in the AO BSN process with BU for Spring 2019. I have a previous BHS in Healthcare Administration from Florida Atlantic University and a Master's from Nova Southeaster in Business Administration with a concentration in HR. I know it's kind of crazy to be going to back to school but nursing has always been a passion of mine. I actually started as pre-nursing major in undergrad and completed most of my pre-reqs with the exception of 1 and the other 2 PHI courses that Barry require. I was accepted into the pre-nursing program at BU but I am super nervous about getting into the actual program.
I have an advising meeting the nursing department on August 2nd and I am praying hard for a conditional acceptance. Is anyone else on here applying or in a similar situation?
I would love to hear from you all and maybe ease my nerves and anxiety.
I'm actually trying to decide between UM and Barry. How do you feel about the program at UM and your decision to go there? I'm so torn!!
@Drea824 I am actually loving UM's program. Its only 12 months long (3 semesters) so it goes by pretty quickly. I'm about to finish my first semester in three weeks. I will warn you though, it is extremely fast-paced and the amount of information you have to learn in such a short period (especially the summer semester) is no joke. I completely underestimated how tough this program was going to be. The information is not difficult; it's the sheer volume of information that makes it tough. But it will be worth it! (9.5 months left for me! lol)
