Hey! I was hoping to start a thread consisting of summer 2017 applicants to Ohio State's Graduate Entry program. I just finalized my application and submitted last Friday! Well before the deadline in October so I'm hoping that helps. I guess you can say I'm an overly proactive type of person lol. Blessing and a curse. But I've completed all pre-reqs except Microbiology..... which I'm in right now until December. My GPA isn't strong at all 3.2. I'll be taking the GRE in September so I'm pretty much dedicating a lot of my time to studying for that...
Anyways, I hope to meet more people who applied/will apply this year for next summer :)
Kind of following this - applying to the BSN-DNP program. Like you all though, I have a Bachelor's in another field first. I'm doing the Accelerated BSN currently throughout University of Wisconsin so that I can work at a higher level of pay while I go through school. So In some aspects my application is a little similar to yours in the idea that my personal statements, etc, have to be a bit tailored to my previous experience in mental health vs. experience as a nurse (I did rehabilitation and counseling based work, going for a PMHNP!). Just kind of following along to get a feel for the general population of nursing students. When do you guys hear back?
lkreemer, i wonder if we met at the neonatal info session...? you and i were two of four and the only moms. i had been interested in the neonatal but i don't think i can handle the nights/days flip-flopping.
Not sure I've gone to two different open houses, I was in the first session at the last one in fall. Is there really only 4 of us? Do u know how many applied to that program? I am a mom, am 42 years old and graduated 19 years ago. Looking forward to meeting you
I am in the WHNP program currently. If you have already had a basic med term class you will be fine. Even if you haven't you will be okay but it is easier if you are not having to learn all the basics.
Hi guys I'm new to this thread. I was reading some of the comments through and was wondering a few things. How long is the program including the "pre-MSN" courses we take before we take the NCLEX? And what is the total cost of the program ? Are we able to receive aid even though this is post our first bachelors degree ? I already have tons of loans from John Carroll University and was wondering how funding for this program is given to students. Thank you to anyone who can help!!!
I haven't started yet but I can tell you the little that I do know. I believe it's about 18mos until you take the NCLEX. The total length is 3 years. As I understand it, yes, you can get loans (I am certainly hoping so as I cannot enroll without them!). I think that the total cost is close to 70K but honestly I am not sure at all. I think that could be a ballpark figure. Hopefully someone else will chime in.
3.2. I'll be taking the GRE in September so I'm pretty much dedicating a lot of my time to studying for that...
