   Pre-req GPA was 4.0. Not sure overall GPA, but I had a 3.5 in my first bachelors. My understanding is that pre-reqs matter more

2. Curry College ACCEL Program Spring 2021

   nurshey replied to bek72's topic in School Programs

   There are multiple moms in our cohort! I'm not one of them so take this with a grain of salt... I don't think any of them would say it's been easy balancing school with family, but they've all managed it. You won't be alone in dealing with "competing...

3. Curry College ACCEL Program Spring 2021

   nurshey replied to bek72's topic in School Programs

   Study times varies by person. IDK how many hours/week I spent studying. If I was not in class, then I was usually studying. I took at least half a day off every week, and I also worked two evenings a week. If you are studying 50 hours per week, in ad...

   nurshey replied to bek72's topic in School Programs

   Our first two semesters were mostly online, but they've switched back to in person now so your schedule could be different. First Semester: Class Tuesday-Friday (but only for an few hours each day) Second Semester: Class one day (for like ...

5. Curry College ACCEL Program Spring 2021

   nurshey replied to bek72's topic in School Programs

   One more point - Curry does NOT do preceptorships in the final semester of the ACCEL program. This is really unusual for a nursing program and in my opinion a major downside of the program. Just know that you will not do a preceptorship.. if that is ...

6. Curry College ACCEL Program Spring 2021

   nurshey replied to bek72's topic in School Programs

   I agree with Nrd, I would say my opinion of the program is neutral leaning towards positive. Overall the professors are great, but as with any program some have been subpar. My clinical locations have been stellar, but there has also been a heavy rel...

7. NNP Phase Out Concerns?

   nurshey posted a topic in NICU

   Is there any concern about the NNP role being phased out or no longer being a viable career path in the future? I have seen people talk about the dearth of NNP programs & how the number of NNP programs is trending downward. I've also seen th...

8. Loyola University Chicago ABSN 2021

   nurshey replied to toriexoxo1's topic in School Programs

   I think it depends mainly on whether you prefer online learning or in-person learning. There is a good chance that in-person learning will be on hold the first or second semester of the program, but it seems plausible that in-person would return by t...

   I just received my acceptance email, so they are still sending them out!

10. Massachusetts Accelerated BSN Programs

    nurshey replied to matt229's topic in School Programs

    Take my thoughts with a grain of salt, as I won't be starting an ABSN until Spring 2021. But based on living in the Boston area & researching all of these programs, my take is as follows: - MGH: Good program but super expensive. Don't know much a...

    nurshey replied to toriexoxo1's topic in School Programs

    Hey all, Has anyone seen anything about a facebook group for students accepted to this cohort (or more specifically, on-site in Maywood)? I figure it might be a bit too early for this group to exist, but I want to make sure I'm not missing it!

    nurshey replied to toriexoxo1's topic in School Programs

    Take this with a huge grain of salt since I don't live in the area, but I was told to avoid the area between United Center and Oak Park (which covers most of the space along 290 between West Loop and Oak Park).

    CONGRATS! A few friends of mine attend Loyola Chicago Med School, which is on the same campus as the Nursing School. They said that about 60% of their classmates live closer to campus in Oak Park or Forest Park; the other 40% live closer to downtown...
