In those 1700 applicants are those who are pursuing nursing for the wrong reasons. Their passion won't show in their essays or within the whole application. That is how I see it now. Admissions will know who is really In it for the right reasons and who isn't. We will shine in our essays and I hold on to that faith ! 

Thank you!!

You are always on this post haha

Hey guys!

 

Sorry if this was already answered––do we all have the same video essay prompt? If so/not, what are some examples? Also, we only have 60 seconds to answer the question, is that right?

In the addendum, are you guys addressing the W’s on your transcript or just lower grades?

Hi everyone! 

I was wondering how y'all formatted the travel and hobbies on your resume.. I have travelled with family and wondering how to add that LOL if anyone doesn't mind posting that section of their resume I would greatly appreciate it it just seems awkward to talk about haha 

Also what size font did you guys use? I'm using 12 I hope that is OK .. 

SO much to do and so little time left but we got this !! Good luck to everyone ❤️

Hi! My resume is still in its rough stages and I'm not sure if I'm including all of this, but this is kind of what I was thinking of how I would format it. I don't think it should be something huge to stress over though!

Thank you so much for sharing! This is really helpful! I have been to a lot of countries since I was little so I might just choose the most recent ones, do you all think that is OK?

Hello, hope everyone is doing well! I just had a question about the addendum and if anyone knows how long can this can be? Is there a format to follow? Also @hilsaevp everyone has the same video essay (obstacle topic) and I think we have 2 or 2.5 minutes? Someone can correct me if I'm wrong sorry

Im honestly not sure how long is has to be, they never gave a requirement. Im only doing one page though. I guess it depends on how much things you’re addressing. 
@Iloveogurachicken im addressing an F I had received sometime during my early undergraduate semester, a C grade, and a W I received as well. So just three things.

Yours looks pretty impressive though! I did mine kind of different im not sure if there’s an exact way we have to format it. I wish they gave more details about that section.

@meghan0808

Yes I agree, your resume is very impressive! Thanks for sharing.

@queen3lizabeth

I attended a virtual information session and they said that they are giving us the liberty to format this part of our resume. It really doesn't matter how we format it. They just want to see our other life outside of academics. Hope this helps.
