   I went to Lynford Uniforms today to pick out my uniform and when I asked about getting the Kelly forceps the lady in charge said it would be better if I waited because some instructors want them straight while others want them bent. She told me to ju...

   Please tell me you aren't required to bring these books into school, I just got a couple in and I think they each weighed 10 pounds. I'm pretty surprised no one has made a facebook group yet. Well there is a general nursing one for FB for Student Nu...

   The Financial office is probably pretty busy this time of the year, I wouldn't worry unless they take longer than the month it took me to hear from them. I bought 14 books for 750~$ and I got the majority of them through amazon's used section and ma...

   My understanding is you have to fill out FAFSA at FAFSA - Free Application for Federal Student Aid GMU will contact you later when they receive the info, I think it took a month or so before I heard from them. Since you already have a degree, you won...

   This is sort of a silly question, but what would be the best parking lot to choose? I know when you buy your parking lot pass you just buy it for a certain lot.

   I really really appreciate when any students take the time to make a post, so thank you so much Estrella55. I am really nervous about starting the program since everyone's reaction that knows the program is how hard it is, but hearing what its actual...

   Was the drama due to the instructors or the students? I heard that in other programs students can be backstabbing but I was hoping that wasn't the case in GM. Could you elaborate more on what was frustrating, other than the lack of communication? I'd...

   Thank you vwde, your post is very helpful as well. I personally never had plans to work during the program, since I've always heard how tough accelerated programs are. I also already volunteer at a hospital but I also plan to volunteer as a EMT durin...

   I almost forgot. What color are the scrubs? I'm -really- hoping its not the white pants. And is there any dress codes for clinical in terms of shoes having to be a certain color.

    Wow, julesjmf, I wasn't even hoping for such a thoroughly written answer so that is awesome you took the time to write that all out. I greatly appreciate it! The 4 days a week sounds great, I was afraid I wouldn't be able to take care of everyday lif...

    If there are any current or past Accelerated nursing school students (or even someone who knows a person) that could give some insight what day to day life is like in the program, I'd really appreciate it! I heard its 7 to 7, but I'm not sure if that...

    What comes in the mail is definitely not a packet. I guess they want to make sure who wants to attend before they send much info. I doubt you have to take the transfer orientation, I think that is mostly just for your benefit for learning the campus ...

    I also got into the accelerated BSN program. Now I'm just wishing GMU had been more informative about what their program is like, their Info sessions weren't very helpful.

    I got my acceptance letter today. It was dated April 30, and you have to turn in your acceptance by May 15. It was such a huge relief to receive it.
