I know it is early, but I just found out I was accepted! I have to finish two more reqs, which I will do in the fall (i was told they have to be finished by Jan 15) Anyone else find out yet!? What are you expectations, and how will you be paying for the program, and then covering living expenses?

Hi everyone!

I just applied a few days ago for the Spring 2014 cohort and I just found out that I was accepted! I'm so excited to embark on a new path and in a new place. I'm originally from New York City. Is anyone out there from NYC??? If so, please PM me! I'm not sure how the living situation will work. I'm excited to meet you all! :)

How is ACE payed for? Do we pay for the program all at once, or 2 quarters at a time? I am just curious because since I am beginning in March 2013, I haven't filed my FASFA for the 2014-2015 school year. But as Ive read most second bachelor's degree students only get about 12,000 dollars, so with that in mind would it be recommended to take out a loan to cover the rest? And which loans would you recommend? Thanks!

Specializes in ICU.

Do you all recommend 's ACE program? I was just accepted and trying to decide between ACE and West Chester's Advance to BSN program. I like the 11month's of Drexel and the fact that I have the option of city hospitals for my clinicals, but my friend and her friend both advised me not to go. They didn't have good experiences and are very negative about the program. You all sound positive, though, so do you recommend it?? And why?? Thanks!!!!

Hello all, I was wondering if there is a regular commencement once you graduate from the Nursing Ace Program, or do you just receive your BSN and keep it moving....lol. Do you graduate with the graduates from that year?

tua53200,

I can only attest to what I have been seeing other people posting. I'm starting in March 2014 and trying to figure this all out too!

From what I have seen, we get 2 separate bills because our program spans 2 academic years. I filled out my FAFSA and didn't get very much for 2013-2014, so I'm going to be relying mostly on loans. I don't think the 2014-2015 FAFSA was available when I filled mine out a couple months ago..maybe it's too early? I have looked into Wells Fargo Med Cap loan, it is for nursing, med students, etc which I saw some current students recommended. It's still too early to apply for any loans...which is slightly freaking me out. You can only apply 90 days before we start because they have to check your credit score and if it's more than 90 days, it won't be valid.

Like I said, I'm only going off of what others have said...hopefully we can figure this out together!

Hey guys!

I'm an ACEr from the Spring 2013 cohort and I'm in the middle of Q4 right now. After graduation in March I plan on moving back to the west coast and have some furniture that I plan on selling! All IKEA, just bought for this program and only used this year-- without any marks or scratches! I have a large 6 drawer white "malm" dresser, a white desk, and a full sized bedframe with headboard and mattress. I am selling for REALLY cheap as I want someone to get use out of the furniture rather than just throw it away. Pick up between March 25-30. Please contact me if you're interested! My email is [email protected]

Hi guys!

I was accepted into the 11-month ACE program for Spring 2017 and was just trying to find out more about the program. I was wondering if any of you had trouble finding a job after graduation?
