The way my advisor broke it down to me is that 2019 and 2020 FAFSA only is for Summer when you fill out the application (I did two of them and will have to do an additional one for Fall of 2021 because that is a new financial school year) and so that is what they can package you for now and once it gets closer they will let you know about the 2020 and 2021. For Summer 2020 it came in maybe 2 weeks. She didn’t get my 2020-2021 in yet but she just divided whatever loan eligibility I had left for the rest of the program. The fees in my opinion are a little much. It’s an additional $400 per semester as a registration fee and she said accelerated nursing students have an Additional fee as well. This is unfortunately one of the cheaper private schools. My counselor also was factoring she said a 1-2% tuition increase per year.

WOW!! thanks for all the info!

I think my financial advisor is ———— something and he email me that each semester is come out different price but just told me what the Summer semester price without the aid and everything else but didn’t tell me how much is will cost but I figure he will after when he get my fafsa package.

Hi Esti congratulations . Since the semester started alot of us been really busy. Its alot of studying including critical thinking. Do not slack on anything or you will be totally up the minimum passing grade by the end of the semesterand who wants to do that. Most of the professors are good and what you learn it should help for NCLEX. It been really hard since Covid-19 so when things settle down hopefully we can give new students insight.Bare with us. we all in this together.

Has anyone heard anything in regards to fall admission? I'm still waiting to hear back about my “missing documents” as was wondering if anyone is getting emails/phone calls from ———— or admissions at all?

@Quinnmk I applied to fall! There is a fall group as well. But no, haven’t heard anything. Tried to get extra information out of ---------- today about when exactly they will begin reviewing. He didn’t give any other information. We should know by the end of June.

Hi, I applied for Fall! I received an email stating that I had “missing documents” also, and that my application was closed & wasn’t going to be counted. I immediately reached out to admissions & CC’d the admissions director in that email. A few days went by & I hadn’t heard from anyone. I then emailed the director separately & he got back to me telling me what I was missing. It was only a transcript for a class that wasn’t even included in my final degree. The admissions director had me send the unofficial transcript to him, he then said he was going to upload it for me & that hopefully it wasn’t too late. I received an email today from the college saying to ignore the email about my application being cancelled. The email also said something about them starting to review application in May & to try & be patient. I would say if you need to get in touch with someone try to call or email the director.

Yes, just keep reaching out until you hear from the director & make sure he lets you know which documents you’re missing. It’s so frustrating that all this stuff is going on at the same time, but hopefully they understand how we all feel as well.

Hello, this is a friendly reminder to NOT post names/identifiers of School/Program staff. It is a violation of the Terms of Service to do so.

Thank you, and we wish you success in getting into the program of your choice!

LOL trust me I definitely know how you feel? I was damn near in tears LOL. But, I felt a lot better once I spoke with the director. I would still say try to get in touch with him, so he can let you know for sure what you’re missing & let you know what should be your next step.

@Quinnmk @special-k

So I technically started the application in September but wasn’t really invested in this school. It was more of a careless backup plan...until I got rejected to all of my other schools and I had to use this back up plan LOL.
So I finally submitted everything completely on 2/13/20. That’s when they started reviewing my application. I talked to ———— and he told me that they were reviewing my App and that I’ll probably hear by 3/31/2020. Turns out, they accepted me earlier than expected! It literally only took them 2 and a half weeks.

Undergrad GPA: 3.35

I took Micro, and A&P 1 and 2 all of 2019 at a community college for the Pre-reqs since I didn’t do them in undergrad. That GPA was 3.7

Personal statement: I made it super personal (something that I never really do in Apps) and talked about my medical condition. I never do that bc I hate sob stories and I feel like everyone does that. I’m not the type to use my circumstances as sob stories. I’m a fighter. So I used that and basically made it my “strength”. Also, found a way to tie that into Preventative medicine, how Nursing is the best field to promote this type of medicine, and how I can help contribute to this movement towards preventative medicine. It was exactly 499 words (Def think that essay was the winner towards my acceptance)

Also, I did not use letters of recommendations.

and Since this is a recent topic, I was under the impression that high school transcripts were necessary for the application. The way I was told was that the unofficial one goes on the application and upon acceptance you send the Official copy. (Same goes for Bachelor’s transcript). That’s really the same across the board for any school you apply to. Just my 2 cents. I wouldn’t risk it. Just complete and send everything.

The high school transcript is more for financial aid. They can’t give it to you unless you submit your high school transcript and it’ll delay the process greatly if you don’t hand it in.

Also, some people may have Clinicals Wednesday afternoon, Friday or even Saturday.
Books are expensive if you’re purchasing to keep but there are options that are significantly cheaper such as renting through amazon. Some things are unavoidable such as having to purchase PrepU for Pharmacology which was $150 (Everything online— book, assignments, practice quizzes) and SafeMedicate for dosage calculations ($100).

scrubs are purchased through Meridys. School will provide that information for purchasing when the time comes. In this Spring cohort, we wear our scrubs all the time because of lab being on both Monday and Thursday. Scrubs with school logo (purchased through Meridys) must be worm to clinicals. Cheaper scrubs may be worn on non-clinical days to lab.

Our first semester is classes are

Fundamentals (Lec, Lab)

Health Assessment (Lec, Lab, Sim)

Pharmacology (Lec, Lab (online—dosage calculation)

Clinicals


Just as @OsiriaRose mentioned, this is simply our experience. With this being a newer program, things can very well change as they learn and grow.

Where are clinicals done at?
