Hi niteshift_...
I am also starting May 1 RN-MSN leadership! The transcript evaluation didn't take long but I am appealing 1 of my courses with them which doesn't take long either. (I already appealed 2 others which they reviewed and accepted within a few days). I've been torn about whether to go for the BSN first but my enrollment counselor told me it's fine if I switch at this point but I need to declare it by the intake interview. I am leaning toward the MSN.....
Good Luck!!
Kathy
Thanks you too! I hope I am making the right decision going right for my msn after getting licensed less than a month ago.
Hey niteshift
Well my 3rd appealed course was approved yesterday (same day I submitted), so don't hesitate to appeal if you have documentation on courses that are equivalent - they only give you 15 days from the date on your evaluation to appeal any courses on your transcript.
For me the A&P I and II with labs were called Life Science I&II at my school many years ago. They were termed LS because they were strictly for nursing students and were actually more intense than traditional A&P. I called my nursing college and got the course description, I also still had the textbook (A&P) so I emailed them the course description and table of contents of my textbook.
The 3rd course they didn't initially accept was Developmental Psych- they assumed it was an infancy to adolescent course, not through the lifespan as it was. Again I got the course description and emailed them- It was approved same day. Now if I only had Stats, Micro, and Biochem!! Going in with 79 credits and have my intake interview this coming Wed. My enrollment counselor assured me that May 1 starts will not be filled before then. Right now both RN-BSN and RN-MSN are filled for April
I'm sure all will go well for you and look forward to hearing about your experience and progress.
