Sorry just seeing this! I graduate in december so I have one semester left after next week. It looks like you have had a lot of questions answered. I can add you on Facebook if you still have other questions ?

I wear greys anatomy brand. There super comfortable and not as see through as other brands I have seen. I have two pairs!

1. There's no required dress code for lectures. I would always keep in mind, how you want to represent yourself considering you are walking across a hospital campus/seeing future employers. I believe the saying they gave us was if you wouldnt wear it in front of your grandma, don't wear it to lecture. That being said, you definietly don't need to dress business casual for lectures, I see people wearing anything from athletic wear to dresses in lecture. Whatever your comfortable in :) 2. There is no particular brand of scrubs. 3. Personally, I don't have an actual job but there are people that do. I know a few girls that serve tables on weekends. I babysit every weekend, which seems to be common. I think 10-15 is managable, I would first get into the groove and figure out your schedule, and when your gonna fit in studying/ rest breaks/ self-care. THEN, add working around that if there's room, because you need that time for those breaks to be successful in the program.

I personally love my experience thus far at MUSC, one thing I feel like its crucial to comment about is how authentic and caring the faculty, staff and professors are. They are incredibly approachable and truly want your success. They do everything in their power to help you succedd. I am one of the few in my class that doesn't have a bachelors degree, I just took the prerequesites needed, maintained a high GPA, and spent a lot of time volunteering.

I'll answer any questions you have, from my perspective of course. I wouldn't say its comparable to a 40 hr work week id say maybe 24-32hr. but remember a lot of the program is online so that doesn't include studying and completeting online work. Everyones schedule is slightly different, just fo a feel of schedule My schedule right now is Monday, I'm in lecture 8-4. Off Tuesdays, Labs on Wednesday (4hrs), Clinical on Thursdays (6am-2p) and Off Fridays. So in total I'm actually at school for about 20hrs a week. However, there is a good amount of online work, about 4-6hrs a week. I study for anywhere between 4-8hrs a week. It does definietly start to add up. First Semester you take 6 classes (Foundations, Health Assessesment, Patho-pharmacology (online), Professional Nursing and two IP classes [which are pretty much online they meet about 4 times each a semester, the IP classes just focus on teamwork in the health care profession so it's a relatively easy class. Sorry if that was alot of information, just trying to give you an outline of what the program is like at least for first semester.

I'm currently in the MUSC absn program if you have any questions!

They didn't say anything about other spots opening up, but I read on another thread about MUSC's ABSN program from a few years ago that they were offering alternates spot up to the first day of class!! Don't give up hope!!

I was chosen as an alternate last month but just got a call a couple days ago that a spot opened up! I'm so excited!!! I haven't paid my matriculation fee yet because I have received my package in the mail. Is there any immunization/ drug test, buying books or anything else I should be getting started on??

Yes you are right, students not selected for priority are then put in the pool with regular admissions. I just emailed admissions to ask what it meant if I had not been notified. Were you noticed via email or regular mail?

I still haven't heard anything Do you get notified if you weren't selected for priority?

Thank you for the response! MUSC is the only school I applied for so if I get in I'll definitely be honored to attend. Now just time to wait

Don't mean to sound ill-informed, but may I ask you what you mean by a binding decision. This is the first time I heard that.

Does anyone know when we should hear something?
