   Maria Alberto replied to StarMom2Nurse's topic in Career Support

   After reading both descriptions, I would personally go with the second job offer in Med/Surg. Although you are familiar with the smaller hospital and are friendly with some staff there, I see more pros with job #2. Especially consider the fact that y...

   APU BSN Summer 2021

   Maria Alberto replied to Ashleysummer's topic in School Programs

   We’ve been fully online since we started aside from skills lab and clinicals! It’s not a regular occurrence so there’s been maybe 2/3 times we’ve seen other cohorts in passing during skills lab and currently we’re in a class with another cohort.

   APU BSN Summer 2021

   Maria Alberto replied to Ashleysummer's topic in School Programs

    The director who oversees notifying applicants about acceptance is going to be out of the office from 3/22-3/29. So more than likely acceptances will start going out the week of the 29th when they are back. Fingers crossed for everyone! Good luck guy...
