Hey, y’all! My name is Garrett, and I was informed this week that I was accepted into MUSCs ABSN program for Fall 2020! I found myself on this blog and saw that no one had created a thread for the incoming fall 2020 semester, so I thought I would ma...

Hello!? I know it is a little early to be starting this forum, but I thought I would go ahead and start the forum for the Emory BSN+MSN Summer 2021 Entry! I emailed admissions this week and they informed me that the application will open at the end ...

I agree... I would not feel comfortable learning this curriculum under an online format - hands-on clinical experience is crucial in nursing. I would be more comfortable if they moved our cohort to a later date. I feel as though we would be at a sign...

Oh, WOW!.. that is super intense - but your service at the hospital right now is super appreciated. I would be super interested in reading that article if you still have it! YES! Raleigh has a good number of breweries, 25 the last I heard; Raleigh Be...

I know the feeling! My pupper has a vet appointment during the second half of the virtual duke days, so that I will be missing the student panel. I plan on participating in the faculty panel @OctaviaF, if you have any questions you'd like me to ask, ...

It is 16 months, so 3 "traditional" semesters and 1 Summer semester. Since we are starting Fall 2020, we would graduate in December 2021. The Mayo Clinic opportunity sounds interesting! I guess it just comes down to what scope of practice you want i...

I highly doubt so. The one case of coronavirus in NC is one county over (Wake County; Duke is in Durham County). From what they have released, the infected individual is confined to their home and not in a medical facility. Plus, the most at-risk pop...

Hmm weird! Maybe they are releasing them as they process them? Or it could be that I got mine faster because I sadly did not qualify for any aid... Loans for days, am I right? Haha:,) Has anyone who applied for the merit scholarship heard anything?

They were released today! I got an email from them at 6pm - it went to my spam folder tho, so I would recommend checking there if you do not see it in your inbox.

Hey! Super small world! Good luck on your application, if you have any questions please let me know! Here are my stats: Major: Public Health/Community Health Education GPA: 3.8 cumulative, 4.0 pre-req** ** I am not sure if you have taken A&P...

I am also attending the March 23rd session! Safe travels! I am looking forward to meeting you!

I got in!! Just got the email!!

I just called on my lunch break... the representative on the phone said 3 weeks ? I don't understand that timeframe since I emailed them two weeks ago, and I was told by March 1st.

I hope we hear back today! I have been refreshing my email every 10 minutes since I got up this morning LOL

Congrats!! That is awesome! I was also accepted to MUSC ABSN! I am still waiting on Duke and Emory's new direct entry masters of nursing program. Duke is hopefully (fingers crossed) this week; and Emory will release my decision on March 13th. I was a...

I hope we hear back by Friday too. The suspense is just killing me.... has anyone heard back from any other programs?

I emailed them last week and they said we will know by March 1st. Since March 1st is a Saturday, and I highly doubt anyone will be working in the office that day, that decisions will be posted on next Friday (Feb 28th.) But who knows...

I am not sure of the actual statistics, but I know an ABSN grad in NC and in NY (both graduated last year). Once you have your BSN and pass your NCLEX you pretty much solidify your job security - nurses are ALWAYS needed. I am sure that MUSC, given t...

Hey @LAktl congrats on your acceptance! MUSC was the cheapest program I applied to - a lot of programs in NC/SC/VA/TN are private and cost double, if not triple. I am taking into account MUSCs education AND hospital ranking/reputation, research oppo...

@maya_jk to my knowledge, I have never heard of them giving an extension because of the popularity of the program (but it doesn't hurt to ask). They are also strict on deferments - they will only consider one if you are unable to attend due to some m...

Hi again! I am really hoping to hear back before then... I applied to MUSC, Duke, and Emory. I already received an acceptance to MUSC and paid their deposit back in January. Im really struggling if I want to forfeit the deposit I paid for their progr...

Hey @maya_jk congrats on your acceptance!! I know what you're going through - I hate the waiting.... I applied to MUSC, Duke, and Emory. I already paid my deposit to MUSC... so, I'm struggling with deciding if I want to forfeit that money for another...

I believe that is just for the Doctorate of Nursing Practice (DNP) program. The DNP program is online, so you can complete it from any state, just not certain ones. I believe that has something to do with nursing scope of practice laws and how they d...

Guess I worried a little too much haha. But I saw last Friday that my status had changed to "under faculty review," so if anyone else encounters this, don't worry like I did! Good luck to everyone applying - 2 weeks is approaching soon!!

Hey @hr2020, I found out exactly a month from when the application was due - submitted November 15th (on the last day lol) and I heard back on December 15th. I actually called them the Friday before then, I believe it was Dec 13th, and they told me ...
