I just declined my spot in the upcoming UW ABSN cohort. Wishing you all the best ?

Do any of you guys still have a 'hold' on your account? I think it might be due to transcript processing, but I'm not sure!

Hello @nurslady182 & @TrishVan7, a good resource is the "University of Washington (UW) Housing, Sublets & Roommates" group on Facebook if you're looking for affordable off-campus housing. ?

@doglover.28 My interview is Tuesday, April 9th @2:30PM! Seems like there might be a 10 minute overlap between our interviews. ? I'm also wondering if this is going to be a group interview...

I think in an e-mail they mention a mandatory graduate student orientation on Thursday, August 1st + another clinical orientation sometime in September! Just other important dates to keep in mind!!

Lol I'm wondering if the estimated amount is guaranteed if we apply for scholarship in May/June though? Craig just gave me the estimate of 10k, but I'm not sure if this amount is guaranteed... But yeah, this is turning out to be much more expensive t...

That's a lot of scholarship $$! I will definitely keep an eye out for scholarship opportunities! If everything works out with scholarship & living frugally, hopefully I won't have to pull out too much in loans. ? I have not received anything in ...

If there are any current/past UCLA MECN students frequenting the forum: how did you guys fund the program? I talked to the financial aid advisor and was estimated to only be offered ~10k in scholarship and like 44k in loans for just the first year al...

I’m really sorry to hear as well and I hope you get into one of your other programs! I literally just interviewed today and Dr. Hinoki said she wouldn’t finish interviewing everyone until mid-March, so I’m really surprised you’ve heard back already!

I just got an e-mail from EVC!!!!!! Who else got in (I'm for Fall 2019)?

Does anyone know if it's possible to get a financial aid estimate for the program sooner? I know the financial aid package doesn't really show until August, but I'm deciding between the MECN program and pursuing an ABSN instead and the cost factor re...

I was wondering if anyone has any insight on choosing between a Masters Entry Clinical Nursing (MECN) program and an Accelerated Bachelors in Nursing (ABSN)? MECN is a 2 year program vs. ABSN being only 12-15 months. Both will grant an RN license at ...

Only a couple of more days--hold on tight everyone & good luck!!

I think it might just depend on the program? It's interesting that some schools wouldn't take an RN, MSN in lieu of an RN, BSN as an application requirement, considering that it seems like the RN, MSN covers everything in the BSN + more.

I think I will be getting some sort of financial aid for the master's program whereas for the ABSN I would have to pay it in full out-of-pocket (aka most likely private loans w/ high interest rates ?). Cost-wise, it seems like the master's will proba...

I was offered an interview last Thursday, so it seems like Dr. Hinoki is still reviewing applications! The very last interview slot seems to be March 2nd.

A very valid point! I definitely shouldn't underestimate the MECN because it's a longer program. I didn't really think about the fact that some of the MSN courses could be transferable to a graduate degree later down the line 'til now. ? That's also ...

I'm actually kind of in the same boat, where I would like to pursue the APRN/NP after working as an RN for a while! I'm pretty sure I've exhausted all the finaid I could get for undergrad during my 1st bachelors & am still in debt from the extra ...

@hakutai839 yes!! Exactly my dilemma in that the MSN is more costly both in tuition and time (in which I could be working as an RN sooner with an ABSN). I guess there are more pros with the ABSN, but I can't seem to let go the idea of getting an MSN-...

Does anyone know how big the cohorts are? Aka how many students get accepted for Fall 2019/pushed to Spring 2020/waitlisted/etc?

Not speaking from personal experience, but a close friend of mine did a 15 month ABSN while working 2 per diem PCT jobs at busy hospitals. I think she worked twice a week, 12 hour shifts? She's currently doing her FNP while still working the same job...

UCLA MECN Class of 2021 Try the link above!

I also received an acceptance e-mail yesterday! My stats are as follows: - Undergrad GPA 3.313, idr my prereq GPA for this particular program but I think I had a C in chemistry, a B+ in physio, and A's in all the others - ~900 hours CNA work in a p...

Has anyone started the post-bac program application process? Is this more of a formality or have any of you heard of people actually not being accepted to the post-bac program?

I was also accepted for the Fall 2019 start. Here are my stats: Undergrad GPA: 3.3 Prerequisite GPA: 4.0 (physiology & ochem are in progress) Proctored exam: pretty weak essay, but got all the calculation questions right Resume: ended up with ...
