Hey guys! I just wanted to start this thread for any students accepted into the Villanova BSN Express program starting May 2009!

Is anybody attending the BSNExpress program welcome this Thursday?

Haha, well they are not recognized or accredited by the Department of Education (which is scary), but Villanova will let you take some prereqs there-- but it definitely depends on the course. I was allowed to take Pathophys, Developmental Psych, and ...

yeah, I'm going to have to take out a loan to cover the full cost...I should be okay for living expenses, since I'm working full-time right now and I've been saving up. My undergraduate loans are insane, so it's a good thing I'm able to defer them wh...

Yeah, through Canyon College!

Hmmm...yeah, when I interviewed Dr. Mariani told me the basic schedule of classes/clinic, and it seemed like everybody in BSNExpress was in class during the day a few days a week, and then clinicals were chosen by the staff (you get a preference, but...

I really liked to hear what the students were saying about Villanova, vs. what the students were saying about Jeff...I talked to a few people in the Jeff program who said although overall they were happy, it was really disorganized and chaotic as far...

What do you mean by day or evening session? I thought the night sessions were for the other program (alternate sequence curriculum?)...not sure though! I didn't get my info packet yet!

congrats! I live in the suburbs of Philadelphia (greater northeast) with my boyfriend, so I will be commuting to Villanova (mostly by car, possibly by train some of the time). How about you?

Yeah, I wouldn't worry about the wait time...they originally told me mid-December, and I imagine with all of the people they have to interview (I think everybody who applied automatically is interviewed if I'm not mistaken), they may even fall behind...

How did your interview at Villanova go? I was actually really nervous after mine, because it wasn't an interview at all in my case...it was more of a question/answer session for me haha. She only asked me about my job, and explained the curriculum. I...

I interviewed on the 4th too, with Dr. Mariani! Try not to get too anxious waiting, I only found out this soon because I had to let Jefferson know whether I wanted to send a deposit in by the end of November. Good luck!

For all of you who have received an acceptance... Do we send a deposit somewhere? My letter said they would send me a welcome packet by March, but nothing in my acceptance letter said anything about sending something in?

I was accepted a couple of days ago into Villanova's program...it's my first choice, I'm so excited!!

So I have a dilemma! I have my Jefferson acceptance, but the deposit is due by December 3rd...I had my Villanova interview on November 4, and they said I would hear back from them in the beginning of December. Do I suck it up and pay the 200.00 to Je...

I doubt it's possible...you need Anatomy and Physiology 1 and 2 (6-8 credits), and you have one term (spring) to get these courses done. Villanova accepts transfer credits from a lot of schools (community colleges, some online programs, etc), but the...

Congrats, Tashe! How was the interview process? My interview is scheduled for Friday (Halloween!)...were you just asked the normal questions (why nursing, etc)?

Hey Guys, Does anybody know if they have you come in the night before to get patient info for clinicals at Villanova? I think it's Drexel's program that has you come in the night before, and I wasn't sure if Villanova was the same way!

I had my interview with Niki today and was accepted on the spot! I'm still going to wait to hear from Villanova before I decide for sure on Jeff, but I'm just happy and relieved to be accepted somewhere (and into a great program!). Congrats to ever...

I applied to Jeff's FACT program, Villanova, and probably Drexel (although I haven't filled out the application yet). I missed UPenn's deadline, but I probably wouldn't have applied anyways (didn't want to take the GRE!)

Hi! I'm submitting my Villanova BSNExpress app tomorrow, I just found out about the program and went to the open house the other night...I'm REALLY impressed with the new nursing school, and I think Villanova is my new #1 choice! :heartbeat

Hey guys, What should I expect at the Jeff interview? Is it really formal, or pretty laid-back?

I would be patient, I didn't get a phone call until the end of the day yesterday so I think they are still processing stuff!

I got an interview request today! Apparently they are running a little behind, and are not done with all the apps... :)

Congrats!
