No I'm in a full time ADN program that allows me to be in an ATB program so I can start taking my rn to bsn classes at the same time

Hi! I am so glad I googled this thread I been looking for awhile...well everyones credentials sound great and as of today, I am still under review with no credit check what does it mean to have a credit check done? I am starting a MEPN program this August and my undergrad gpa was 3.9 with research into Type 2 diabetes in the African American community. My EFC is zero. I wonder if MEPN programs are okay since they are not traditional MSN's they are masters for people with undergrads in a different major thats not nursing going into nursing. Any who good luck to everyone I hope to hear good news soon it is nerve wrecking and I've been thinking about it often

They check your credit to see if you have any delinquent federal debt. However, not everyone gets a credit check. Honestly I am not sure why they check some applicants credit and not others, but I do know it is a good sign if they check yours. If anyone else has any information on this part of the process I'm interested as well in it.

I'm also not sure about your major. I do know that preference goes to Nurse Practitioner programs, Full time BSN and ASN programs, and that in previous years no one outside of those groups were awarded the scholarship
