   Early acceptance opportunity (EAO) is pretty much an informal interview over lunch in a group setting. I wouldn't recommend bringing a family member to the luncheon portion. Maybe bring the family member during the optional tour of the campus afterwa...

   Hi! I shared the FB link in a previous post (It's easy to miss the post in this long thread). Here is the link again: https://www.facebook.com/groups/824907374556365/

   There was a list of immunizations, physical, and some paperwork to do. Just make sure to take care of it all before going out of country. There was a series of "Welcome" emails that keep you informed on the program. Just check your emails when you ha...

   I think it'll be actually EASIER for your program to get jobs cause you will have the MSN degree in hand. As opposed to the current setup, I will have passed the NCLEX but MSN is still in-progress. Magnet hospitals want BSN or higher. So you'll actua...

   Here is a screenshot of my schedule for Fall. Your schedule will be different since the curriculum has changed. The screenshot shows 4 lab times (We are only assigned to 1 lab time). However, we started clinical rotations in October and that was 7am ...

   The Facebook group has started. I don't have access to the list of those who are accepted, wait-listed, etc. So the group is mostly from the current cohort. https://www.facebook.com/groups/824907374556365/ This group is dedicated to Cohort XVI (the ...

   Yes we were expected to attend the entire week of welcome week. I'm sure if you have some extenuating circumstances, they will work with you. But they started lecturing for our classes that week. It'll be a mixture of orientation, strategies for succ...

   To further expand on why the FB group is setup in such a way is because the previous cohort will act as your mentors so it's not just a comprehensive group of WesternU alum/students. You will actually be assigned to one faculty mentor and one cohort ...

   Hi all, Sorry I didn't respond much. Congrats to all those who have been accepted! To answer about the FB group, it's a closed group that will be between my cohort (Cohort 15) and your cohort and it is based on your westernu.edu email. Cohort 14 setu...

    Congrats to those who received their acceptance already! For those who have an interview, my recommendation is to just PRACTICE and do your prep work. Talk in front of a mirror and do some mock interviews to get feedback. Know your story and why YOU ...

    I wouldn't worry so much about submitting the application early vs later (Unless you submitted after the application deadline?). I literally submitted my application last year at 11:55pm (5 minutes before the deadline). I do not recommend submitting ...

    I did the same thing last year and I only applied to WesternU. Received an invite for a regular interview (Not EOAD), placed on the waitlist, and fortunately got off the waitlist at the end of April. I would estimate that about 1/3 to 1/4 of my coho...

    I only followed their general CGN FB page. Was there another group? I tried to post a link but allnurses moderated it.
