  1. Accepted gmu 2nd degree bsn student.

    vwde replied to ola28's topic in Virginia Nursing

    The professors are EXTREMELY helpful. From day one, they tell you over and over to come to them at the first sign of distress and not to wait until you're in over your head. I know plenty of people...

  2. Accepted gmu 2nd degree bsn student.

    vwde replied to ola28's topic in Virginia Nursing

    That's funny. They were very discouraging when I went to the info session as well. And yes, they do have a lot of unqualified applicants and a very low acceptance rate. And they are also very...

  3. Accepted gmu 2nd degree bsn student.

    vwde replied to ola28's topic in Virginia Nursing

    Wow, we got almost the exact same score. Since they're taking TEAS scores with the application now, I don't know if it has weight on your entry position or not. When I applied, they wanted the TEAS...

    It doesn't seem to matter at all. There are prior english majors in the accelerated

    vwde replied to vwde's topic in Virginia Nursing

    Wow, good clarification. They are definitely changing things. Well best of luck in your application! Let me know if there's any way I can be of

  6. George Mason Accelerated BSN 2009

    vwde replied to vwde's topic in Virginia Nursing

    Oh, that's different from when I applied. I would recommend double checking their website for everything then, since things have changed. But, on the website, it does say they won't accept a TEAS test...

  7. George Mason Accelerated BSN 2009

    vwde replied to vwde's topic in Virginia Nursing

    I'm not really sure. I think it's probably ok because you send official transcripts to GMU and the school of nursing doesn't need a duplicate official. However, just make sure you're sending 2 of...

  8. George Mason Accelerated BSN 2009

    vwde replied to vwde's topic in Virginia Nursing

    Not sure. If you're serious about it, I'd apply right

  9. George Mason Accelerated BSN 2009

    vwde replied to vwde's topic in Virginia Nursing

    No, they have you take the TEAS after you've been accepted. There are plenty of places that offer the pre-reqs in accelerated formats so I'd still try to have it all done by May if you don't have many...

    vwde replied to vwde's topic in Virginia Nursing

    "lots and lots of presentations"... I don't know that I'd say that. There has been a (group) presentation in almost every class but I wouldn't focus on that. They're usually easier than the actual...

    I'm in it now. Be prepared, it's certainly an

    vwde replied to vwde's topic in Virginia Nursing

    I took it at Thomas Edison State online but a lot of people I know in the program took it at NVCC, which I'm sure was offered online. Good

  13. Anyone apply to GMU Fall 2009?

    vwde replied to vb2vthokie's topic in Virginia Nursing

    I don't know too much about the traditional program but again, with the accelerated program, they said GPAs were much lower on the list. Do you know if that ranks high enough for you to try and pull...

  14. Anyone apply to GMU Fall 2009?

    vwde replied to vb2vthokie's topic in Virginia Nursing

    Yeah, that may be a good idea. Also, since you're military (I just got out of the Army), I would recommend a school that would be better at accepting more of your credits for your BA/BS. I know a lot...

  15. George Mason Accelerated BSN 2009

    vwde replied to vwde's topic in Virginia Nursing

    They are very strict on the policy of completing the pre-reqs by the end of the spring semester. That is the final deciding factor on whether you get in or not and they send the letters out in early...

    vwde replied to ola28's topic in Virginia Nursing

    I just ordered the pants in "khaki" from a universally used scrub manufacturer. I would think that's good

  17. Accepted gmu 2nd degree bsn student.

    vwde replied to ola28's topic in Virginia Nursing

    From what I hear, there isn't really a "standard". They are looking for our math score more than anything but it seems that it would have to be a pretty bad score to get into some type of remedial...

  18. George Mason Accelerated BSN 2009

    vwde replied to vwde's topic in Virginia Nursing

    I hear getting in is hard. The figures were something like 300-400 applicants for 50+ spots. In the info session, they said there were more spots but I was told by one of the faculty that 50 got in....

    vwde replied to vwde's topic in Virginia Nursing

    I've been in touch with a very helpful GMU BSN student. Though she's not in the acclerated program, she is in the program and has given me a good idea of where we're going. She said that she's heard...

  20. Anyone apply to GMU Fall 2009?

    vwde replied to vb2vthokie's topic in Virginia Nursing

    Yeah, I'm pricing the books this morning. I think I'll start purchasing them as I want to get a head start on all of this

  21. Anyone apply to GMU Fall 2009?

    vwde replied to vb2vthokie's topic in Virginia Nursing

    I received a reminder card for transfer student orientation and chose one of the last times available for the 21st of July in the evening. Even though I'll be in the Accelerated BSN program, I don't...

    Apparently I don't have the level of membership to PM on

  23. Anyone apply to GMU Fall 2009?

    vwde replied to vb2vthokie's topic in Virginia Nursing

    Pmkn 10 - Can I talk to you about the program you're in? I really want to know a little more about it and haven't been able to get much out of

  24. Anyone apply to GMU Fall 2009?

    I don't have any information on the schedule but I am definitely looking for some. Please let me know if you hear

  25. What to do - ADN vs. BSN vs. forget about it!

    vwde replied to mommyonamission's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think you should def. do it (nursing), first of all. Your kids and hubby will support it if it's what you want. And the one thing I know about life is you should never go through it wishing, but...
