Does anyone know if A&P can be used for the bio credit

I am also hoping to apply/need to figure out if my pre-reqs are eligible

Hi everyone! I am applying to this program as well. I believe that A&P can be used as a bio credit.

Hi y'all, I am also applying to the program. I wonder how many applicants are going to apply this round or if they may add seats depending on how well the first cohort is going.

Is anyone attending the information session next month in Austin for the program?

[happyBSNRNCCRN]

I will be attending! Nervous and excited!

Hey all,

I'm getting ready to apply for next Summer start. Does anyone know if we can apply without PALS and then get the cert prior to program start? 
$350 on top of school app fees is starting to add up LOL

Yeah you can. It's not mandatory for application but mandatory for matriculation. But might as well get it before you submit since you'll have to get it anyway. The hospital you work for sometimes provides an education stipend you should look into it. You might be able to get it covered (at least a part of the cost anyway)

[roadrunner303]

Right on.

thank you!

I have not heard anything back about interviews yet. I believe after the August 1st deadline, they will start sending out interview invitations. At the information session, they had said interview invites would be sent out end of August/beginning of September. 

They also said the interview style would be a few faculty with one applicant asking questions. Mixed clinical and EI questions.
