Hi, I heard back from the PICU on the 16th I believe with an informal offer, then got an official offer from HR the following week. Unfortunately due to certain factors I had to decline the the offer :/. But hopefully that opened up a spot for someone else. I hope you hear back soon!

Oo thank you! Is that for Newark or Camden? I’m still waiting on my financial aid letter

Hey! Where did you get the info for the estimated fees?

I have a question...do folks know what the NCLEX pass rate is? I know they mentioned in an info session it was around 94% but I keep seeing different numbers online. And also the retention rate of students in the program?

Well, with Rush, if I decide to apply there for my DNP (Im thinking CRNA or FNP), I will get free tuition (granted I get in when that time comes LOL). Im still deciding what exactly I want to do within nursing, but the program at Rush will also leave me with my CNL certificate, so that can open up the doors to some leadership positions. Additionally, the aid (a decent scholarship and fed loans are great since it’s a professional degree and not an undergraduate) I got is pretty great. With Rutgers, the program is shorter, I could start working faster, and if I don’t go to rush for my DNP, I wouldn’t have to take a bunch of graduate level classes over again. I've also heard lots of folks who say they were glad they didn’t do a GEM program to start out with. So it will be a touch decision! I hope you hear back from NYU soon! What other schools are you deciding on?

Right now I’m deciding between Rutgers and Rush University’s GEM MSN program (in Chicago)! Just waiting to see what my financial aid from Rutgers looks like!

@autumn78 for the 2020-2021 financial aid/school year, I got 3750 in scholarships that the college of nursing gives, 1500 in work study, then the rest in federal loans. There is a lifetime limit to how much money you can take out in federal loans for an undergraduate degree....and since I already took out loans for my first bachelors, it wasn’t a lot this time around. And yes, I think a lot of federal grants we can’t get since it’s a second bachelors.

It’s within a week. (That being said, it will be two weeks for me on Friday and I still havent accepted/ declined. I was trying to figure out my finances though and contacted financial aid with questions over the weekend. I will likely end up declining tomorrow though because I would have to take out almost 70k in private loans which I just don’t know if that makes sense for me right now ? )

Thank you!! Under grad GPA: 3.3 Pre-req's: A&P I: A A&P II: A Micro: A Chem I: A Chem II: A Stats: B+ Developmental Psych and Nutrition are currently in progress.

Oh darn, I was hoping they sent the rest of them out! I checked a few hours ago, and then just again like 10 minutes ago. I didn't get an email or anything--I usually just check around this time every night.

check your status yall, I got in!!

Still waiting!!

Depending if you are in state, around 30k. Out of state, around 55k I think. I gotta look at the numbers again.

LOL please elaborate a bit more...I saw some of your posts earlier. Do you think this was just because of COVID and it was a learning curve for the program?

Since my checklist is gone I'm not entirely sure, but going by my emails I got confirmation of my application submission on Sept 28. Undergrad GPA 3.3 (Sociology degree) A&P 1: A A&P2: A Chem: A Micro: A Nutrition: In progress Stats: B+ Dev Psych: In progress I had two letters of recommendation, and have worked in health education/sexual health for the past 4 years. Also @kris1998 I am also waiting on Rutgers Newark before I make a decision...and unfortunately NYU wants their decision within a week!
