I have applied to the NHWSoN begining Fall 2010. I submited my application packet the first week of September. I am already CrAzY with anxiety. When did you folks here that you were accepted. How soon after you applied?
I met with an advisor last month and she said I should have no problem getting in. I am an Emory employee. I have been a Nurse Tech for ten years (not all at Emory). The 3 letters of recommendation were from: my A&P teacher, another teacher of health sciences, and my boss who is MSN, RN, FNP-C.
I have always wanted to be an Emory Nurse!!!!! Hopefully my dream will come true soon!!!!
Please let me know when you applied to the program and when you got your accpt. letter........jasonwalkeratl
Is there an option to do the clinicals on the weekends? Also how many hours are required for clinicals during the first semester? From your personal experiences is it at all possible to work part time during the weekends like 20hrs and attend classes and clinicals during the week?
Thanks for all your input.
I'm not sure if that's an option in the first semester, but I have had Saturday clinicals this whole semester (2nd semester). I like having Saturday clinical because I'm off on both Tuesday and Wednesday (the rest of the class' clinical days) and I have more time to study during my week. It works for me, but it would not work for a lot of people.
As far as work, it's not possible for me because I need my rest! lol Quite a few people do have part-time jobs, but I don't think they're working 20 hours. I think 20hrs is a lot when balancing school work and clinicals. You might want to look into work-study positions that require less than 20. Just my thoughts.
Congratulations to everyone who's been accepted. I wanted to know how long was it before the actual packet came in the mail? I can see my status has been updated in OPUS since last week but still haven't received the official letter?
Last year we didn't get packets. Maybe that changed that this year? The only written correspondence I remember receiving is the actual acceptance letter (mine NEVER showed up on OPUS) and a letter about the scholarships I was awarded. In the first few weeks of summer, you'll get access to Blackboard and that will give you all the directions you need. Don't worry, you won't be left out! :)
Well, unless if anybody else has heard differently, I've tried not to bother Katie every single day, but it looks like the word on the street is that notifications for the financial aid will more than likely be for the end of the month...
My friend and I were trying to find some info on the Second Degree BSN program, and after some searching still could not figure out if it is possible to complete the Second BSN program in less than 2 years (like an Accelerated BSN program)?
I just received my acceptance letter!! Im so excited but also very nervous because I hear that Emory SON try to make it impossible for you to pass. I want to know how supportive they are with students? I have a infant baby but I have a great support system to help with her, I just dont want them to frown upon me having a infant and trying to complete school. I'm not looking for any special treatment but I want to know that they are helpful and approachable when it comes to students asking questions or in need of help.
All I've ever heard is how helpful they are and I have a friend who went through it while she was pregnant and she loved the program. I think the hard part you've heard about is just typical of a nursing program and a good one would not be a cakewalk because then you wouldn't pass the NCLEX and your level of care would not be as good. As for your baby, congratulations!! It's a great thing you're doing for your baby and it's great you have people to help you. Congratulations on getting accepted!!!!
Was anyone able to attend the open house yesterday? I really wanted to go but I'm in a different state and it just didn't work out. Any info to share (hopefully about fin. aid or neat)? Thanks:)
I went and I enjoyed it! We got to tour the campus, sit in on a class, and have a Q&A session with seniors. I didn't hear anything about fin.aid/neat. Has anyone heard about the NEAT? I really hope I get it...
