Hi!
I was wondering if anyone was going to apply to ECU's Alt Entry MSN program this Fall for a Fall 2013 start!
I originally was going to apply to Duke's program, but after a lot of research and deciding, I came to the conclusion that I couldn't justify $100,000 in loans with about $87,000 in private loans. I would imagine it would be an awesome experience and all, but I don't want to put myself in such a position with debt!
I am returning to ECU this Fall to take my pre-requisites. I graduated from ECU last July with a BA in German and a minor in Art History, but I've decided to go back and become a RN, so I can become a CDE. It sounds like the Clinical Nurse Specialist concentration is the best for me.
I know the application due date is kinda far away (December 1) but it would be nice to chat it up with others that are applying!
I didn't finish editing my statement of purpose until november 29th-- so that was when I finished submitting my complete application. My GPA was a 3.67, but my GRE was not anything outstanding by any means. I know they are still notifying people about interviews and have heard they will continue to do so into february. I wouldn't worry about anything! I hope you get an interview soon, and let us all know when you do! :)
Thanks I hope so! I called the Nursing Department today asking them about a prerequisite and the lady told me that they were considering doing an Accelerated BSN program next semester possibly. That's sort of good news. I would love to do the ABSN, but of course the AE MSN is more convenient with already having a bachelors degree. Just a little news I wanted to share with you guys.

I got a phone call yesterday to set up an interview January 7th. I had been told that I wouldn't hear anything about interviews until mid january.
