RN for 5 years, 4 of those in ICU and rapid response. CCRN, too. I have my MSN as my first nursing degree - did one of the accelerated programs.

Not originally, but spent a lot of time there previously. A lot of those initial classes are offered online as well as in classroom. I don't know how it works for our program exactly, but you might be able to take a class or two over the summer online and not have to move for the summer.

Yeah, you have it right. There are a few classes offered that you can knock out over the summer, but it's not mandatory. Does lighten the load for sure. Are you moving for the program or are you already in Chicago?

Congrats!! It's a pretty sweet feeling, right?

That sucks Are you looking elsewhere? Rush can be a funny beast for admissions. It's hard to give up the idea of tuition reimbursement if you currently work there, I know (assuming that's the case?)

Did anyone else on the thread find out? We're looking forward to being in Chicago next year :)

That's too bad - so sorry to hear. Did you apply elsewhere, too? Keep at it, either way. I know plenty of people who didn't get in on their first try and were accepted a year later!
