Apr 1, 201313 yr Hello, everybody!Today was the deadline to apply to Curry's Accelerated BSN program (Jan. 2014 start). I've applied, and now all is left to do is chew on the finger nails and wait for the first week of May to roll around. Is there anybody else here in the same boat? Check in and say hello!
Apr 12, 201313 yr Author BTW, I'm finishing reading this book: "Intensive Care: The Story of a Nurse" by Echo Heron (Intensive Care: The Story of a Nurse: Echo Heron: 9780804102513: Amazon.com: Books ). It's a pretty good story that gives you a better understanding of other people's experiences in nursing. It's a paperback, and when I'm done with it next week, I don't want it to just sit in my bookshelf. If anybody is interested in reading it, PM me your address, and I'll send it to you, once I'm finished.
Apr 15, 201313 yr I'm from a journalism background. It sounds like you guys have competitive backgrounds. I am nervous about my undergrad gpa, but oh well. Two more weeks of waiting!
Apr 15, 201313 yr Author I'm from a journalism background. It sounds like you guys have competitive backgrounds. I am nervous about my undergrad gpa, but oh well. Two more weeks of waiting!I bet that experience in journalism helped you write a great essay, though! And there's a lot of weight being placed on essays, from what I've heard in the info session.Last year, the first letters were received as early as May 2nd and 3rd. So, yeah, I think we're looking at about 2.5 (!!) more weeks of waiting.
Apr 16, 201313 yr I know exactly how you feel right now. You sound just like me a year ago. It seemed like forever for the letter to come. Best of luck to you! The program is great!
Apr 16, 201313 yr Eeek! Two more weeks! So close yet so far away! These next two weeks will feel like forever. Is everyone on here from the Boston area? I'm from southern California and would like to know how the area is?

The program is great!Julia, congratulations on making this year's cohort! How do you like it so far? I'm keeping all of my fingers and toes crossed for the next 2 weeks :) I hope to hear something by Saturday, May 4. So, the official 2-week countdown will start in a few days.

I'm from southern California and would like to know how the area is?I'm from the town just south of Curry campus. What would you like to know about the area? I think there are a handful of local people here, and we'd be happy to answer your questions.
Apr 18, 201313 yr I'm from the town just west of Boston -- called Newton. I'm originally from Colorado but came here by way of NYC (and spent 2 yrs in San Fran). I like Boston so far. It reminds me of an East Coast version of SF in many ways.
Apr 19, 201313 yr I'm waiting to hear back as well! So nervous! I keep trying to think positively but I have had my fair share of rejection letters this past year. With the overwhelming amount of applicants now a days, it seems like even those qualified are not getting into programs because of the limited spaces : ( I hope we are all waiting on good news, because Curry seems like a great program!
