Hey everyone! I am going to be graduating nursing school in a couple of months. I am doing my senior practicum capstone on the mother and infant unit. I noticed that sometimes I have trouble talking to the parents and figuring out what to say to them to make conversation. What are some things that you ask them (whether that be about the baby or about themselves) that helps you strengthen the nurse patient relationship? Some of the things that I ask are if they have any other children at home, how did they decide to pick their baby’s name, so on. But I feel like it is always the same couple of things I talk about and I want to build stronger rapport with my patients. I would appreciate your advice!

I think you might have to email or call admissions to figure that out. I'm thinking the orientation might be in December or early January.

Hey everyone! I applied for the Spring 2019 accelerated nursing program and wanted to know if anyone has heard back yet. I heard that some people can be accepted even before the priority or final deadline. I applied before the priority deadline and think we will hear back in late August before the final deadline of Sept 1 I think. I'm not sure though.

Hey everyone! When you applied to Bon Secours, are you sent a link to make your application payment once all application materials are received? I submitted my online application a few weeks ago and had my transcripts delivered to the college, but I'm waiting on one letter of recommendation.

Did they send a normal size envelope separately from the huge one ? Or was it just one huge envelope they sent with your acceptance letter inside? I applied for the same cohort entry too! Congratulations on your acceptance!

Hey everyone! I applied for a later cohort entry and wanted to know if the admission decision they send via mail is sent in a big envelope or a standard size envelope if you are accepted to the nursing program.

Both are good schools, but I understand that the financial part is important. I'm also confused because if they don't rank people then how will they go about pulling people off the waitlist? They must have some sort of ranking system. It would be helpful to know what number we were at! I think it's great you got in somewhere though and you never know, you may receive an email from VCU saying they have a spot available for you.

I'm sorry to hear that you didn't receive any email yet and you don't know if you're out for sure though. Did you apply to any other nursing schools?

I was wait listed but they didn't specify a number. Were you wait listed too? I wonder how they are ranking people on the wait list for the traditional program and how many people were accepted, specifically to the traditional pathway for second degree students. Did you hear back on your status into the program?

I think unless Marymount specified that your acceptance is contingent upon you completing the prerequisites, then I think they already transferred over and you are officially accepted into the program. Based off of my understanding, it seems like they accepted the prerequisites already! Did you apply with your bachelors degree already completed or are you still in progress in competing your first degree?

If you got an acceptance letter, doesn't that mean that you meet the prerequisite requirements? Congrats though! What other schools did you apply to?

Does anyone remember the time of day when they sent out your decision letters? I am anxiously awaiting mine for the Spring 2019 entry!

Out of curiosity, did anyone also apply to VCU's nursing? If so, are the SAT scores required to be submitted with the application?
