Bri-I think u have a great chance of getting into the accel. program because many people don't want to start right away (because of $ and stuff like that). I heard that last yr the cut off was 3.6 (from a counselor), however, a student also told me that it was 3.8. Which are you appyling for?

I'm on the fence. It would be nice to finish eight months earlier to look for a job before 250 others will. I would have to take pharmacology and fundamentals together. With the standard track I think we can take pharmacology in the summer. I would like to intern at more than the DMC. I know they have a lot of different hospitals but my mother-in-law works at Receiving. What are you planning on doing? Any advice would be great. I do not plan on working either way, so money is not a huge factor. Thank you for your time.

treeguy- GOOD LUCK. Help me represent male nurses :D

It's a tough call...I heard that the drop out rate is high because so many can't hack it (in the traditional program). I would hate to fail. I don't know what to do. Thanks, I'll talk to you later

I got my acceptance letter today!!!! I had to go pick it up at the post office and I was jumping around and hugging the post office workers. A lot of hard work and dedication went into getting into the program and I know I am blessed! Looking forward to being a great male nurse.

For the Record:

- My overall GPA was a 3.75 but my nursing GPA (adding the total GPA for only the classes that count as a nursing pre-req) was only a 3.67.

- First time applying for the program

- Not planning on taking the accelerated program. I'm not sure my financial add from my winter FAFSA will kick in till the fall anyways and I need time to relax and travel around the country before I settle down into this big commitment. My family wants me to start now but I do not want to rush this.... just think I should play it smart and re-charge my batteries before I dive into the nursing program.
