Live in Massachusetts, southcoast, Cape Cod, where units are being closed, nurses being laid off
Been LPN in LTC for 3 yrs, graduated Excelsior RN in June, have Bachelor's in another field, several nursing certifications and I am STILL working Long term care for peanuts and have 40 patients. Just a sucker for punishment I guess!
5. And...am really excited, but also really nervous to be doing what I finally want to be doing!
Congrats to you!! I'm looking at Accelerated BSN/MSN program, as well. I have a business degree but am thinking about going back to school for nursing. How was the application process? How is the program so far? I know you probably aren't very far along yet, but best of luck to you!!

Thanks!!
Application process was okay...pretty basic kind of like undergrad/college applications...it was the waiting that killed me! I was so nervous I wouldn't be accepted anywhere, but it obviously worked out!
I actually haven't started the program yet...12 days! Haha I start September 8th! We just had orientation, which was not terribly exciting, but good to meet everyone else in the program. I also just picked up all my books and supplies, which was exciting for me. Everyone says it will be EXTREMELY intense, but if I work hard I will get through it no problem. So I'm nervous, but also really excited and determined to work hard!
Good luck to you in your application process too!!!

I have a supportive husband and 2 supportive adult daughters. I am excited about finally finishing and teaching full time.
waiting to see if am accepted. it would either be umdnj or rutgers in nj for nurse practioner in women's health. i will be attending full time if accepted. wish me luck guys and please could anyone who has been through the admission process of these two universities fill me in. thanks
I too have been considering applying to this program since I live in columbus. How is the program? How competitive is it. I have a 3.2 gpa undergrad and a 3.55 gpa grad . I have not taken the GRE yet. Do you think I stand a chance?
I have always been afraid of osu coz I had called them and was told most students who apply have at least a 3.7gpa. Is that true?
rrkeni- The program is pretty competitive, but that shouldn't stop you from applying! I think they told me they accept about 1/3 of the applicants, but I think that the fact that you've taken graduate courses before is in your favor. I had a 4.0, but that was only undergraduate stuff. If you're worried about your GPA, I might take a kaplan course or something to make sure you get a great GRE score and make sure your essays are good.
Thanks areawoman. Did u get accepted into ohio state? Ihope that's what ohsu stand for coz I thought it was OSU. Anyways, did you get accepted? if so, do you mind telling me what you scored in gre and how to write a personal statement? OSU really scares me yet I really want to get admitted. did they calculate the gpa of all undergrad courses you've ever taken? coz that's what I was told.Thanks for your reply
