Anyone on here applied to Marquette University Direct Entry program? Summer 2015?
Gigi1990, wow! Good for you! I only applied to MU and Northeastern. Still waiting on both. Would you be willing to share a little bit of your background with me? Such as schooling, experience, etc? What track would you be going into at MU?
I just graduated from Saint Catherine University with a bachelor degree in Public Health and wanting to transition into Nursing. I have been a CNA for 6 years.
Ruby0810, yeah of course! I actually graduated from MU in Psychology and Biomedical Sciences. Their nursing program is awesome and I applied to many programs because they are all extremely competitive, especially MU. You should apply to Millikin they are on rolling admissions and are wonderful! They look at a person as an individual and many people dont know about them because it is such a small school and program in Illinois. I know that they still have a few openings and it is always nice to have few schools as a back-up. They also start in July, so it gives people more time to prepare, and tuition is cheap compared to other schools I applied to. As for my experience, I volunteered a few times on a Cardiology floor, Pediatrics and Dermatology. I personally shadowed a physician in LA for over a month in Pediatrics Surgery which was awesome! I only have my BLS for healthcare providers and I worked part-time as a Pharmacy technician while in College. I also had many jobs while in College which helped me better my resume. I did get accepted to Millikin and Rochester so far, I have few interviews in progrss. Since you have a CNA that is awesome because I know that they look for experience and patient contact! Good luck :)
I applied to University of Virginia (wait listed), Seattle University (invited to interview), and Pacific Lutheran University (still waiting to hear)!
I have been a tech in ICU/TU for a year, have been a sexual assault victim advocate for 2 years and just graduated from Hope College with a Spanish degree... I hope to go the CNM route at MU :)
