FAU BSN 2013-Traditional or Accelerated

[Authentic_RN]

Anyone out there that is applying to start the FAU Nursing program in May 2013? I have submitted my application for the accelerated program. It is the only program I am applying for so I am really hoping to receive an acceptance letter! I realize it will be quite some time until we know either way and thought we could get some conversation going among applicants.

Ugh Bummer! Thanks for making the call CR_2013 at least that narrows it down so we're not all franticly checking our emails!... The waiting continues...

The wait is tortuous!

Also, at the info session we were told that, MOST LIKELY, the class starting in MAY 2013, will be changing so that the traditional program students start in August, the accelerated program will add one additional summer term to lighten the load and they will accept something like 20 more applicants between the 2 programs. It was confirmed via email from the school that these changes will be emailed to us along with our acceptance letters :)

I was just wondering if anyone knows someone who has attended this nursing program...Did they like it/have good things to say about it?

I was so happy to find others talking about FAU 2013 nursing ... the waiting is difficult. Sounds like there are a lot of highly qualified applicants. I hope we all find out soon... in response to one person I do know one current student & she said it is a very difficult program long days/nights.. but great all around regarding instructors/hospitals, etc.. guess some of shall soon find out!

@Lady_Roscoe - very interesting that the school has confirmed the changes to the accelerated curriculum. I wonder if that means that the traditional and accelerated students will be separated for all course work. During the informational session I attended it was stated that the school hoped to be able to offer completely separate classes, because they found a huge difference in the accelerated students (older, have work history and a bachelors degree) versus the traditional students. They said by separating the groups they hoped to be able to meet the unique needs of the accelerated students better. This waiting and waiting is the worst!

Every time I get an email my heart skips a beat

I think the changes are a great idea!

Congrats to both of you! Was it a mass email to all the students accepted or individual? I haven't gotten one yet this wait has been so hard!

[Authentic_RN]
