Jefferson APW 2014 Nursing School Acceptance

U.S.A. Pennsylvania

Published

Hi Everyone!

I am new to starting a thread so I am not sure if i am in the right area but I was accepted into the FACT program and looking to change into APW. Is there anyone who is accepted into the APW and did 1 year or going into the APW Fall 2014. Please let me know your experiences and/or why did you choose the program over FACT.

My Reasons

1. Need to have breaks

2. Really feel there is no rush to doing this program really fast truthfully. As a RN you will be okay.

3. Im actually interested in other things besides just going to school. i.e. -- organizations

Hi PomLin,

I am part of the APW class at Jefferson starting in the Fall 2014. Have you found others here?

Hi pomlin! I am new to this site. I just wanted to ask you when you applied for the program? I am looking to start the fact program may 2015 but am worried that there will be so many applicants who are equally qualified that I could be overlooked. If you don't mind me asking, how did you make yourself stand out from the crowd and when did you find out you were accepted (how much time passed between applying and finding out acceptance)? Thank you so much and good luck with the program!!

Hey everyone,

I have an interview for the APW program on April 3rd! Just wondering how your interviews went and who interviewed you?

Hi Mrshungie

I actually applied to the FACT program extremely late. As in January 14. The initial process that took long was actually going through Nursing Cas. It was long and frustrating with a hint of anxiety because you don't know what your overall average may be like at the end. My advice about applying: Apply early as possible that would help you extremely.

To stand out: I think being myself and actually letting my natural interest in medical field do the talking for me. The interviewer said my essay explained why nursing so I am not sure if it was a killer essay or the fact I called and developed a rapport with the interview in advance that helped me stand out but GRADES are huge factor but not the only factor. They want character and dedication. It could have been that my whole career life was spent in medical field that showed my dedication. So to be honest standing out or to stand out is stress your qualities that best relate to nursing.

Hope this helps! :up:

Hey jlpolo

Yay! Nope! Did you receive anything after being accepted? I have not paid my deposit so I wanted to know if I was missing and information.

Hi laurrose4

The interview went amazing I really didn't want to leave. So, the interview are basic questions to gage your personality. I truly believe you should speak from the heart know about yourself and focus on your reasoning why you want to be a nurse.

why jefferson specifically, in comparison to other schools?

What's something you can take from your undergrad degree that can help towards nursing?

philly is a very diverse city, are you comfortable with that? What's your view on being in the city?

What are your hobbies?

what is one thing unique about yourself?

what do you think will be a challenge for you in school?

the interviewer really wants to get to know what you're like besides your grades and schoolwork. So I'd just recommend preparing yourself for those questions and being honest with them is key! Have fun and really engage with the interviewer.

Thanks Pomlin!

I have to take my GRE on April 10 and I won't be able to complete my application until the 20th. I know applications are due May 1st so I hope that isn't too late and that there will be open seats! I hope to join every soon! PomLin, how long after the interview did you get an acceptance notice?

Hi p.stacyt

I was accepted mid interview for APW but was told if I want FACT there was a waiting list but within the next day accepted into the Fact program. I guess my essay explained my feelings about wanting to be a nurse and my personality. I kind of really gave a detailed but concise essay so i answered majority of his questions with that. But just a heads up! If you have an interview it is most likely you get in.....Good Luck and I am sure you will be at Jeff in the Fall.:up: Focus on rocking the GRE's.

Hey jlpolo and pomlin! I was just accepted to APW in the Fall today! I wonder how many people were accepted so far

Laurrose4 -- :cat:Congrats!!!!!!!!!!:up: Yay! Would you like to start a Facebook page? Im not sure but I am so freaking curious about the others in our program its like who are the APW people. I know for sure we share our classes with BSN - Pre licensure individuals.
