I got my acceptance as well! I am super grateful and also received the 25,000 Nursing Excellence scholarship! I was waitlisted last semester. I think I unfortunately may be rejecting my offer and committing to St. Louis University for their entry level MSN. I think I like the idea of a smaller school for clinical purposes, but that may open up some spots for waitlisted people. Good luck to everyone in your journeys ❤️

Hi there! I haven't seen a forum for the St. Louis University AMSN Fall of 2021 so I wanted to start one to get in touch with any other students out there. I just got my acceptance for this program yesterday, and I am SO excited. I haven't seen a facebook page either but was hoping to start one soon. I am looking forward to meeting anyone who's also really interested in this program, and congrats!?

Hi! Thank you for starting this thread. I am applying in hopes of the Sacramento campus! I still need to take TEAS as well, I am scheduled for March 20. I am still also working on my writing samples. Good luck to us all!

Honestly I really don't know. It has changed so much, it's always changing LOL. Originally it was Hopkins, but it is also the most expensive so I am trying to see which ones I get into and then weigh my options. Sacramento is home, so if I got into Samuel Merritt or even this program I would be happy because I could save some money and it would be nice to be close to my family. I will just have to see where I get in and then make a decision I guess!

Thank you! I sure hope so I just am so ready to go and start! Thats great I have written a lot of essays so hopefully can spend some time on them. Good luck to you as well! I will keep you updated on when I submit my app ?

A 3.6 is great! My overall is a 3.42, and prereq GPA for this program is a 3.89. I was a CNA for 3 months but I was never certified so I am currently working as a home health caregiver. I have been applying all over(St. Louis, Hopkins, Linfield, Northeastern, Samuel Merritt) because I really want to start by this fall, I applied to some for a Spring start but didn't get into the ones I hoped. I re-took Anatomy/Lab and currently retaking physio lecture so I think that will help! Im not sure though, applying is definitely a process I have learned.

I have too, which is why Im worried I don't have a 4.0 GPA but I don't have terrible stats either(I think LOL). That is very true hahahah. I guess its worth a shot! That sounds like a great plan. Are you applying to other places as well?

Hi there! Wow all of your stats are fantastic! I am currently retaking physiology lecture, but if I receive an A which so far so good, my A&P GPA will be 3.84, Science GPA 3.66, and 3.64 Nursing GPA. I have no clue what to expect because I am not sure what they view as competitive either or if they take into account health experience of any sort. I just keep hoping whatever happens will be for the best! I really am excited about this program though. Are you all from Oregon? I am from CA!

Hi there! I actually recently found out about this program and am interested in applying. Considering they only accept around 20 students I imagine this program is quite competitive. I am from Sacramento area, are you?

Yes I got the same, I was just curious if they sent you a separate email yet. Okay sounds good looks like we are on the same page then! I just wanted to be sure I wasn’t missing anything.

Have you received anything confirming application received from Linfield ?

Of course! I have been getting more and more excited about this program since doing more research. I am from California, and have heard really great things about Linfield. I retook Anatomy, and Physiology so I hope that doesn't weigh too much on my application. Hoping for the best for us all!

Hi there, I didn't see a forum for Linfield ABSN Summer 2021 so thought I would start one! Any others out there? I am super excited about this program so my fingers are crossed. I know it is pretty competitive. How is everyone feeling?

Hi everyone ! I applied for SLU AMSN fall of 2021 start. I was just curious, how are you all liking it? I’m not in yet but really interested in this program. How are clinicals and sim labs? Do you feel well prepared for the profession? Any and all advice is helpful, thank you ?

Hi there, First of all, I am SO sorry this happened to you. I can’t imagine your frustration. You are not the first person I have heard this from, which makes me a little worried. I’m not even into JHU yet but I’m applying to other schools and have made this my top program I am interested in. Just out of curiosity, do you feel like the clinical experiences were lacking due to Covid and not being able to go into the hospitals ? also, how many students were there in your sim labs and clinical rotations ? Do a lot of them feel similar since getting a job in the field ? When you talk about the gap between school and becoming a nurse what is it that you are referring to? The fast pacedness, job itself, incontinence care things, etc. ? I’m only curious because I worked as a CNA and currently as a caregiver and I’m just wondering what particularly you feel you are not prepared for if there is anything specific. I so appreciate you being so honest for us trying to figure out where to go and how much to spend and what to prioritize when it comes to school.
