I'm currently in the program. Here's realtalk time. So, to answer you question about testing, we use ATI. I know there's a LOT of mixed opinions on ATI. I really like it. I think if you understand the progression of how they want you to answer questions, it's intuitive and you should be able to answer correctly. NCLEX is also moving to a new testing format called "next gen," and ATI caters to that. Now, about the program...... It moves unbelievably fast. You don't have a life. When they say "accelerated," they're not screwing around. A lot of people came into this program not understanding exactly HOW fast this program moves. Particularly in the Summer with shorter semester, you need to be working constantly to keep up with the general workload, extra assignments, prepping for tests, and clinical work. You better know how to budget your time. Things are very disorganized. The content you learn is extremely valuable, but I was completely astounded by the level of disorganization within this program. Some of the professors, I truly don't know how they get through their own days based upon how they run their classes. The other half of the professors are some of the smartest, most engaging, awe-inspiring people I have ever met and learned from. I feel truly honored to learn from a few of these people and I genuinely look forward to those classes. The other half, ugh. The school really welcomes feedback on what's working and not working in classes and they make changes. You will learn how to take the speedbumps in stride. As my mentor told me when I was talking about how students were upset at the level of disorganization, "They DO know they're going into healthcare, right?" This is your chance to show that you can remain calm and collected, get your work done, and stay focused, despite the chaos going on around you. Pretty representative of healthcare, no? You can either take your courses online or in-person. If you can, go in-person. I am an online student and I feel like a second-class citizen at times. We don't get the same quality of information to take the same tests, and some sometimes we need to figure that out for ourselves by talking with in-person people. The clinicals make everything absolutely worth it. All my clinical instructors and units were amazing. That's why you come to this school, to take your clinicals at Johns Hopkins and WOW, you will be amazed at what you see and learn. Despite the hiccups, despite the teachers who can't work the course platform, despite the messy online format (that I do believe will improve over time -- it just got going during COVID) coming to Johns Hopkins was the best decision I could've made for myself. And it really is true that people notice the degree. Having JHU on your resume will get you in the door for an interview pretty much anywhere. The JHU network is vast and powerful. If you use it correctly, it will get you far.

Just an FYI to anyone attending this program: I was informed at the end of August that orientation will be virtual this year and they will be sending a WebX link for it. I haven't received that link yet.

Hi guys, wanted to update you all and let you know that I also received an admissions letter on Wednesday. Due to being out-of-state, I will, in all likelihood, not be attending due to cost. Best of luck to anyone still waiting to hear back.

A long time before. I think I had submitted sometime in May, so things are moving really slowly. I've just accepted it's a lot of waiting. I did this process waiting for Hopkins about six months ago (I was waitlisted that round, hence the reapplying for Spring), so the waiting doesn't phase me too much anymore. I've learned that it has no bearing on the decision.

Hi guys, figured I would chime in here since I am also waiting to hear back for this program. I interviewed I think around July 9 or 10? Can't remember the exact date but I have been waiting since then and my application status has been under "committee review" since July 2. The waiting sucks. Keep ya chins up!

Hi guys, Looking for some information about the application requirements for UCONN's Spring 2022 CEIN/BS program. NursingCAS says you can have 3 outstanding pre-reqs at the time you submit your application. Their website says two. Anyone gotten in touch with admissions to clear this up? Also, they ask for proof of enrollment for any outstanding pre-reqs. This is particularly confusing if you plan to take pre-reqs in Fall 2021. How can you provide proof of enrollment before a June 15 application deadline, if enrollment periods haven't even started for fall 2021?

Still waiting over here, as well.....brutal

I doubt people who didn't get in are rushing online to talk to about it. Keep that chin up dude

Why do you think this?

I too am still waiting! Applied for November 1 deadline.

Aw no that is most definitely not true! Just sit tight, I know it's hard. I'm right there with ya.

god the waiting is truly painful though, ain't it

Hi guys, this is my first time posting, I am also waiting for a decision. I applied SUPER early before the November 1 deadline, just FYI. Good luck to all.
