   I'm pretty sure you have to set it up on your own and I think the recognition is that you are a licensed RN? haha

   You will follow the road map. It tells you all the classes you'll be taking each semester. Someone will reach out about it. Registration is just like any other college, as in you have to register yourself. The difference is you aren't competing for a...

   It's just about 30k. 10k per year, 5k per semester. Crazy affordable when compared to similar programs. I paid for this first year entirely out of pocket. It's worth the wait considering you won't have substantial debt to pay off as soon as you start...

   Please read my previous posts in this thread about this. If you're admitted you'll get an email with a timeline for when you need testing done. It's sometime in the late Summer. I'd recommend stopping any illegal substances now to be safe.

   Of course!! They want to ensure the program is full so they will make sure that happens. A lot of the admits have been admitted to other schools as well and will wind up choosing other programs, even after accepting offers. So not all hope is lost! ...

   sarahk09 replied to sarahk09's topic in School Programs

   There's always people who back out after accepting too, especially since this program doesn't require a deposit to hold your spot like some do. So all hope is not lost once the list is 'finalized'. There were people admitted into my cohort days befor...

   A master's degree in nursing is a good idea if you're interested in a leadership role in the future. It does not really impact your role as a regular nurse. I have not heard anything about being able to finish faster. This is a 6 semester program wit...

   Nothing online is accurate and you won't know your real schedule until right before the semester begins.

    I already mentioned how many days a week you should expect to be in person.

    sarahk09 replied to sarahk09's topic in School Programs

    Ignore registration dates. There are only so many people in the nursing program so you do not have to compete for spaces in classes. You will get an email about what classes to register for, probably a week or so before school starts. Get used to fin...

    Clinicals don't start until 6 weeks into the semester for level 1, and it's only 1 day a week when it does start. Level 2, you will have 2 clinical days and they start at the beginning of the semester. We were on campus 2-3 days/week level 1. Level 2...

    They tell us we can't. They don't award us our BSN until after our 3rd year, at the same time as our MSN. So if we pass the NCLEX we will be RNs but not have a degree. A lot of places won't even hire you without your actual degree. We heard through t...

    I was an original admit but I'd say about half of my cohort was admitted off the waitlist.

    Getting accepted is a total crapshoot in general, there are way more qualified and outstanding applicants than there are spots, so I really just think it comes down to luck and not rhyme or reason. Hmm maybe they're referring to there no long...
