   Hmm. Odd, I don't recall seeing anything about that particular site, but I do recall getting additional login information at some point during the acceptance. I don't remember if it was before or after my letter though. Not sure what site that is. I ...

   I got a letter in the mail. No kidding about crunch time. I got the acceptance letter 2 weeks before all my paperwork was due, including two PPD tests. The doctors office will think you're crazy for doing two TB tests inside of a week of eachother, b...

   haha thanks. I never figured I'd be a resource for the program. xoxjedixox -- if you're so inclined there is a gym right across the street in the hospital that you can join for like $13 a month or so. I don't remember exactly. It's got everything yo...

   In the very beginning, it might be very stressful and difficult to get your workouts in. The second half of your first semester you will be able to fit them in if you want. It really depends on how quick of a reader you are and whether you take more ...

   Well he didn't get it wrong, he didn't update I got conflicting info on the actual cost of school. That post references what I was told by some dimwit in financial aid before I saw a sheet from someone else in financial aid, which said that actual t...

   xoxjedixox, Most of us bought 1 lab coat, 2 bottoms and 2 tops. The only time you will work more than 2 consecutive days in a week is at the end for your capstone experience when you will work the same shifts as your assigned nurse. I wasn't buying e...

   My case was a little different than most of my classmates. My loans are through family. Most of my classmates, indeed have that much out in loans. It's definitely worth it for a BS in Nursing in my opinion. It's a great school, with very good affilia...

   The school sent out a packet with all the scholarship info in it after I was accepted. I think it was part of the initial paperwork they sent out in the acceptance packet. I wrote a little essay and sent it in. I'm not sure if that particular scholar...

    You can buy your own, but the scope from the school is a littman classic II se. It's a decent scope from what I've read, and it's built into your tuition. It's basically just a waste of money to buy your own. Affording it...I was part of a scholarsh...

    Hi all, sorry I missed a few posts. Dress code -- Nobody wears their scrubs to class. Only on clinical days pretty much. Especially early in the program where you don't even have clinicals. Clinical days and simulation days are when you'll end up w...

    The sheet that financial aid had during our orientation estimated about $75k for living, food, school and everything. I live in Rochester so I didn't have to worry about anything except school costs. My wife works so she is covering most of the expen...

    Well that depends. Most of us aren't eligible for much. There are two main scholarships that the school offers. There is one through the school and one through a foundation called Robert Wood Johnson. The RWJ ones are worth 10k each. I am one of thos...

    No doubt. The competition is getting worse. I really feel for you. I put a lot into my essay. I had several reviewers who had some good insight. I think that's what really got me the interview. I really wouldn't worry about a 3.4. I think at that po...

    P.s. nobody worry about your age. The class before mine has a person that looks to be around 60. A couple of people in my class are in their 40's, and a couple in their 50's.
