   lkv246 posted a topic in South Carolina

   Hey everyone. I am graduating in August and take my NCLEX in September. I was already offered a job (pending passing the NCLEX) at Palmetto Healthcare Richland ER on October 25th. I live in Virginia which I know is a compact state. So if I go ahead a...

2. UNC New Grad Nurse Residency 2016

   lkv246 replied to MurseHurst's topic in New Nurse

   I applied and I was just told Im under consideration and to wait for an email about interviews. Im interested in (and praying for) the ED. Chapel Hill is a very nice area to live so you really cannot go wrong when picking apartments.

3. Duke 2016 Nurse Residency Program

   lkv246 replied to sb_peds_er_rn's topic in North Carolina

   I just got invited to interview for Neuroscience ICU. Im hoping to hear from Emergency Department though since that is where Im doing role transition and my dream job. If not, I will probably apply elsewhere to see if I get ED. Still exciting though!

4. ODU concurrent fall 2015

   lkv246 replied to Lexi695's topic in Virginia

   Actually they are getting rid of the traditional and only making it accelerated because they have a higher graduation rate...you must have all pre requisite classes done before nursing school which was a requirement for accelerated. (I'm accelerated...

5. ODU concurrent fall 2015

   lkv246 replied to Lexi695's topic in Virginia

   They are actually debating ending the odu partiality due to a high incidence of students failing out who were chosen just because they went to odu. My instructor said 12 people failed out just in 2 semesters. I was told they are going to just stick w...

   lkv246 replied to Lexi695's topic in Virginia

   Hey girls. I'm so sorry about the program. Don't lose hope. They really do take into consideration if you reapply! Just as a heads up to how competitive it was...they were only taking about 50 people and about 500 people applied. A competitive HESI s...

   Don't let it fool you! I got a medium size packet, but my friend got a normal envelope. She had a panic attack but it was an acceptance!

   Hold onto hope girls. Normally everyone got the letters the same day. Im not trying to discredit the friend, but that's how it was when I applied and got accepted last year. Everyone got it the same day acceptance and rejection.

   Im currently in the ODU Nursing program and I know you need a HESI score of at least a 85% to be considered and As in both Anatomy courses to be competitive. You can email the advisor Ms.Hawkins. She will happily talk about the program.

    Sorry for the very belated reply...I actually think you have to have an 85 or above to be eligible to apply to ODU Nursing. I would ask Ms.Hawkins and probably take it again!

    Honestly, if Mrs.Hawkins gave you the okay to apply, then I think you're probably okay. She's incredibly honest. My HESI score was 96. Most people I know in the program, had HESI scores over 90. I did not find it difficult, but I still studied. Do no...

    lkv246 replied to lkv246's topic in Virginia

    Im currently in it. It's a great program and still will be. It has gotten so much recognition and is incredibly competitive to get in. Although ODU itself isn't the top notch, it's medical programs are (strangely enough) due to close proximity to a m...

    lkv246 replied to lkv246's topic in Virginia

    I think I did visiting student non-degree. I would call admissions tomorrow and ask them for sure. You will send the transcript of your ODU class along with your other transcripts when you turn in the nursing application. That way they see you are cu...

    lkv246 replied to lkv246's topic in Virginia

    So far, you look good! :) I took my HESI this past Janurary. I think they require the minimum grade to be 85% . Yet, to be competitive, try to get it over 90%. I took it a month before my application was due. I wouldn't recommend taking it so close b...
