    UCLA MECN Fall 2020

    botmann replied to ChelsRN26's topic in School, College Programs

    A lot of schools are in the same situation. Johns Hopkins direct entry MSN program, they have two separate Accepted Students Day; it's more a tour and information sessions to help people if they want...

    CSULB FALL 2020

    botmann replied to ninja1968's topic in School, College Programs

    I wish I was moving back to San Diego. I hated I had to move from San Diego. Maybe one of these days after finishing nursing school I'll create an

    A & P with no science background?

    botmann replied to GreenMagus87's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    First off, where ever you take your prereqs, make sure it is an accredited institution. Most nursing programs, it is required and will disqualify if not, which would then make it a waste of time and...

    CSULB FALL 2020

    botmann replied to ninja1968's topic in School, College Programs

    Thanks. It was an unexpected opportunity. The funny part, I figured if I was going to into any direct entry MSN program, it would be the most expensive I applied to, which it was. It looks like I...

    WIth all that said, I can tell you my experience in getting into accepted into nursing school; I start fall 2020. Like you, I went to community college. While there, I had a bad term, where I got a D...

    Discouraged about GPA in San Diego, need advice about getting into nursing school

    botmann replied to db.c's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I can give some general information for your situation. I'm not going to lie and say you're not going to have some challenges getting into nursing school. Almost all nursing schools in the country...

    CSULB FALL 2020

    botmann replied to ninja1968's topic in School, College Programs

    I got an email from the admission office that I was not offered admission on Thursday late morning. I was a second bachelor's candidate. Do not feel bad for me. I got accepted and committed to...

    FALL 2020 Johns Hopkins MSN: Entry into Nursing

    botmann replied to OTheRN's topic in School, College Programs

    I went to JHU SON information session on the MESN program. One of the first things they said was the program is expensive. They do not hide the fact it's going to be $100K in tuition fees. If...

    FALL 2020 Johns Hopkins MSN: Entry into Nursing

    botmann replied to OTheRN's topic in School, College Programs

    I would write to the SON and ask. They may not have an answer at this time, but they may have an answer. In general, my understanding is that "pass" is translated to C. I believe JHU SON requires a...

    FALL 2020 Johns Hopkins MSN: Entry into Nursing

    botmann replied to OTheRN's topic in School, College Programs

    I would say the admissions committee knows. I personally think the early decision pool may help. The one thing I can tell you, at least from my experience at the Accepted Students Day, the SON is...

    FALL 2020 Johns Hopkins MSN: Entry into Nursing

    botmann replied to OTheRN's topic in School, College Programs

    I suspect it is not your undergraduate grades that are hindering you. Yes, doing an application addendum to explain to the lower grades. I assume you had one or two bad semesters/quarters. The...

    FALL 2020 Johns Hopkins MSN: Entry into Nursing

    botmann replied to OTheRN's topic in School, College Programs

    I assume if you take undergraduate classes, it's considered post-bachelor undergraduate. It's what NursingCAS did with mine, which for me was 112 graded hours the of the 280.36 total. I also had...

    FALL 2020 Johns Hopkins MSN: Entry into Nursing

    botmann replied to OTheRN's topic in School, College Programs

    I do not have a great magic bullet for you. I suspect it was either your essays or letter of recommendations; I assume your essays. You may have to have someone who writes go over them to give them...

    I would say that is probably a very likely situation. They'll reschedule it for a later

    FALL 2020 Johns Hopkins MSN: Entry into Nursing

    botmann replied to OTheRN's topic in School, College Programs

    You can accept UMSON and later withdraw. I'm sure they have a waitlist. I gave up at CSU East Bay's Spring 2020 cohort for JHU. You can undo commitment to admission, but cannot undo a

    FALL 2020 Johns Hopkins MSN: Entry into Nursing

    botmann replied to OTheRN's topic in School, College Programs

    FYI, I got an email today that the March 26 Accepted Students Day has been canceled because of the COVID-19. They're planning to do it via virtual seminar thing. They're also extending the...

    FALL 2020 Johns Hopkins MSN: Entry into Nursing

    botmann replied to OTheRN's topic in School, College Programs

    I believe JHU's SON is truthful about its holistic view of their application process. As someone who did get accepted, I do not think I was anything near a runaway superstar candidate. I have no...

    FALL 2020 Johns Hopkins MSN: Entry into Nursing

    botmann replied to OTheRN's topic in School, College Programs

    I've already committed to the school (early January) and I still get emails for information sessions--in person and virtual--on the program for prospective applicants. The important thing is that you...

    FALL 2020 Johns Hopkins MSN: Entry into Nursing

    botmann replied to OTheRN's topic in School, College Programs

    I got mine a couple of weeks after committing. You'll get an email to set up your SIS account. Takes a few days to get your JHU ID, but you can still sign in, but it can be a tricky with the temp...

    SDSU BSN Fall 2020

    botmann replied to Maya's topic in School, College Programs

    That's a tough decision to make. To me, it really depends on two things, where you think you want to end up as a nurse and finances. The ADN program will cost significantly less. I assume the ADN...

    SDSU BSN Fall 2020

    botmann replied to Maya's topic in School, College Programs

    It depends on what classes you're able to transfer over. The nursing program itself has 64 units of classes to be completed. There are still the upper-division requirements for general education and...

    SDSU BSN Fall 2020

    Glad to see there was this thread. I was a bit confused by the notification I received. I was denied admission, which is disappointing, but it was talking about eighty-eight thousand applicants...

    FALL 2020 Johns Hopkins MSN: Entry into Nursing

    botmann replied to OTheRN's topic in School, College Programs

    The SON website site says early March. I suggest looking at the threads for previous fall cohorts to get an idea on a rough date. People will most likely have posted about accepted, rejected, and...

    FALL 2020 Johns Hopkins MSN: Entry into Nursing

    botmann replied to OTheRN's topic in School, College Programs

    According to JHU SON website, you are correct. The February 15 may be the deadline the SON imposes on themselves to review all applications for Jan 1. The website also says notifications are sent...
