1. Accelerated Programs/Advice

   RustOmnivore replied to haileyp's topic in Michigan

   Hello, I'm currently in MSU's accelerated program. My cohort's average GPA was 3.57, but I know many people in the program whose GPA was quite a bit below that. Even if your GPA is a little on the low side, I think you have a shot with all your CNA e...

2. Nurse Corps Scholarship 2018-2019

   RustOmnivore replied to DomoniqueH's topic in School Programs

   I'm debating about whether I should apply. I'm starting an ABSN and my EFC is ~$8000. I'm under 24 and my parents' income is factored into it despite the fact they won't be paying a dime towards it. Does anyone know if I'd just be put behind everyon...

   How are you all doing on your compliance? I only need 1 vaccine and I'm getting it done this week so I was just taking a closer look at the vaccine form and noticed that we need titers for MMR, chickenpox, and Hep B. The Hep B is suppose to be done b...

   I accepted my admission. You might be able to ask State where you are on the waiting list. They accept people off the waitlist until orientation. I wouldn't give up hope yet as people may give up their seats in the program between now and then and pe...

   RustOmnivore replied to SaltandPepperCashew's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I just finished up going through the application process for ABSN programs. I'm from MI but I ran into the same issue. While the schools had a lot of overlap in prerequisites, the majority of them had at least 1 prereq that the others didn't have and...

   RustOmnivore replied to franklin_washington's topic in School Programs

   Thank you! It was merit based. I don't know how I got such a good scholarship but I'll take it. I know I had really excellent letters of recommendation, good GRE scores, and I've had a wide variety of experiences.

   I'm a recent graduate with a bachelor's in biology. I haven't had a real career but my jobs have included managerial positions and working as a lab tech. I have research experience and I've done a small amount of volunteering in a hospital.

    I received 45K and I think that's the largest beside a full ride scholarship. They split up the scholarship evenly among the 5 semesters. They have information about the scholarships on their website.

14. Teacher or Nurse?

    RustOmnivore replied to lquandt's topic in General Students

    I'm currently working as a substitute teacher while I wait to start a second-degree nursing program. I have a lot of respect for teachers as it's definitely not something I could do for the rest of my life. You should try to get as much exposure as p...

    lcinic, on the admissions site it says student who applied for the January 1st deadline will hear back in early March. In the meantime, I'd just keep busy and the time will fly by! Good luck and I hope to see you in the fall!
