Well, that is some insight that I've never seen before. I'll look more into that. Thank you for the advice. It is something that I thought about doing before. Just taking my 401k and paying out of pocket. I just don't know how I would pay for housing and such. Saving is extremely difficult right now. It is one of the reasons why I want to return to school.

So, I should also say that I have no available undergraduate funding. I would need to pay out of pocket for any ADN/ABSN/BSN programs. This is why I have been focusing on the MSN-entry level route. Thank you for your insight. I will continue this quest!

Thank you for responding! I am thinking to change my approach as well.

Hello, I want to complete a MSN-entry level RN for non nursing students. I have applied to 5 schools and have been rejected from 4 thus far. Only one interview has been granted out of 5 schools. I am a graduate from a Nutrition program from 10 years ago with a 3.2 GPA. I have retaken all of the science courses (AP I, APII, Micro, Statistics, Dev Psych) and received no lower than a B, current GPA for those prereqs is 3.7. (Some of these courses were previously taken in undergrad with C grades, but mostly A or B.) I work in nutrition and have been volunteering at a free medical clinic. Does anyone have any suggestions on what I can change/add to have a better application? Because I am feeling superiorly dejected right now.

Did anyone receive a letter yet?

Only what the previous cohorts allnurses forums said...be prepared for a panel and questions about why you want to be a nurse, difficulty of the program, finances, etc. Have you started your personal goal statement?

@rollingbay what part of Florida? I am coming from Orlando.

Congrats everyone! I will be there October 31st. How are you all with prepping the 1-2 sentence goal statement?

Right?!

Hi Good Day @aevans1512, Only what the website says...looks like $1363 per credit hour....

@julieap29 Thanks a bunch for the words of encouragement. It is really disappointing when you work so hard and get told no so many times. I was beginning to think that maybe this isn't for me, but I haven't given up hope yet. Good luck as you start your program.

@Cassian14 Did anyone ever respond to you about the transcripts? Mine said unknown school because it wasn't in their database. It was updated after transcripts were received. Today is the day! I hope everyone got everything submitted. I got an e-mail extension of September 19 for remaining documents.

John Hopkins, UAB, Xavier, Columbia, DePaul. Well, I am reapplying to UAB because I needed to take a few more classes for them.

I did. Didn't get in to any of them. Fifth program.

Well, I didn't get in. Good luck guys!

Yes, it was!

Congratulations y'all! I don't have anything yet.

@ShayShaw That's cool. Last year I submitted but needed too many classes before the program started. ********* was really helpful last year, because she called me within the week and asked me a few questions regarding my prereqs classes.

this wait is killing me! I really hope to get in.

Congrats! Haven't heard anything as of yet. Good luck everyone! Has anyone else called the school?

@ShayShaw Is there a reason to wait until the last class begins to apply? I am currently in a class and have one more next semester.

Hi @KDRoss, Are shadow hours expected? I don't feel like I saw a mandatory section for that. (Please correct me if it is - I don't want to miss a THING!) I want to submit based on my current work experience by the end of the month. I really want to go to either UAB or DePaul. I also have two prerequisites to completed for both schools. Good luck!

Hi. I think it depends on which campus that you applied to in terms of the semesters. However, I have not heard anything as of yet. My pal will attend in the Fall and told me that the admin staff were really behind for the last few cohorts. She also said that they continuously try to fill the cohort before, so some people are ungraded to the next available slot if accepted. If you hear anything, please let us know!

Hi y'all. I am reapplying for UAB this year as I needed to complete several classes at last years application process. Have any of you submitted your application?

OMG! I just typed in DePaul MENP 2020 program and this popped up. *sigh* Well, since I am here...do you have any advice for a novice looking to become an RN? (Thanks and good luck on your journey! I'll go start a thread for MENP.)
