Hello everyone, I am new allnurses.com. I am glad to see that there is a site where I can communicate with nurses from all over. I have a question. I recently applied to St joseph Hospital school of nursing located at 8th girard ave in philadelphia, ...

Wow everyone! Orientation is almost here!! I am so excited! I can't wait to meet all of you on Wednesday!

Just wanted to share some info...I have a 2.9 GPA in undergrad, about 3.0 in my prequisites and I have applied to three nursing schools and accepted to every one. Don't let people discourage you because of your gpa, it's not the greatest but it doesn...

I completed my 09-10 application march of last year because I thought I would be going attending a different school. I eventually switched everything to west chester. I just don't think it is fair that I would need to come out of pocket or get a priv...

is everyone aware that there's a possibility that financial aid may not package our summer aid in time? I was told that I would need to cover summer 1 out of pocket in the event that they can't get it done in time. I currently have a financial hold o...

Darren, I just recieved my official letter yesterday. I am going to send my deposit sometime this week so I am unsure what happens after that. But I will keep you posted about the book list if I get it!!!

Im worried as well. We are due to start in a little under two months and I have nothing straightened out.. I will be grateful to get my admissions packet and acceptance letter by the end of the week. I also am interested in our book list I want to t...

Hey everyone I called Dr Monturo first who informed me that she wasn't sure, but believed that full time in the summer was 6 credits. She then directed me to financial aid. I called financial aid office and spoke with a rep who assured me that all st...

Wait a minute!!!! I think we need to get confirmation from someone else in financial aid because there is no way for any student to be full time in the summer, in fact most schools will only allow 6 credits during summer sessions..So something must b...

yeah, I dont know whats going on...First I recieved a email stating I was accepted about a month ago then a few days later I recieved a letter that I had to sign back and return and thats it! I havent even recieved a formal acceptance letter...So I h...

Wow that could pose a big problem...I never heard of a school that refuse to give you aid because you are a partime student...This makes me very confused because Dr Monturo stated that we could use our unused loans from undergrad..Does west chester o...

hey everyone I went to my interview at WCU last week and I am very nervous....I am scared that I may not get accepted...I was wondering if anyone has gotten accepted since the first wave of people had been notified? She told me if you are called for ...

Thanks Lefty Lou, Being able to finance the program was a concern for me, but it sounds like federal stafford loan covers the program for the most part. So I guess my only issue now is to get accepted!

Does anyone know if federal student loans would cover the cost of this program or do we need to seek private lenders? I also wanted to know if West chester offered any scholarships for this program?? I know that drexel offers their absn students no...

Just wanted to get a since of where everybody was commuting from...Im coming from philadelphia catching septa for the most part..

I recently submitted my application for west chester. From what I hear ALL prequisites must be completd at the time of application. I guess you could take your prequisites at west chester, but you would save a lot of money if you would take them at y...

Wow this information is really scarey!!! You mean to tell me that all of the work and thousands of dollars you invest a drexel nursing degree you can fail just just from tenths of a point....Wow...I am supposed to go to drexel this spring, but I am n...

Hi Hiddencat, I was wondering if you had any more info on this scholarship that was offered by the Univ of Pa health system. I was due to start the program this fall but was unable to secure any funding. I rolled my admission over until the spring, ...

Hi joujoubee, I'm to in a similar situation because I have a 4-year old and was also in an toss up between Drexel and Lasalle's achieve program. I finally decided on drexel mainly because of the short time frame and the high NCLEX pass rate. I am due...

Thanks Mistydale13 for understanding where I am coming from. I am not trying to bash HRSA because I do think the scholarship is a great program and does a lot of good. I just think things should be handled a little better when people lives are involv...

Yeah, I am sure some letters would take a week or so...But I usually get mail in two maybe three business days TOPS. I just think it is weird that nobody recieved notification via mail yet. I could be wrong, maybe most people who post here live clos...

I am not particularly frustrated, and certainly know that getting this scholarship would be a blessing to all students who recieve it. I never believed that it was something that I was somehow entitled to. I just don't think that the reps given stude...

Hey August rain, We are eligible to get Perkins loans???? I don't know to much about them, but when I went to financial aid I was not given it as an option.

If no one got a letter yesterday I would consider it safe to say that the Hrsa rep eithier lied to get us of their back for a few days or was utterly wrong when telling people that letters were sent out on the 30th.

I actually gave up on the scholarship about a week ago, and rolled my school acceptance over to the spring. I got the contact information of a person who worked for HRSA and found out that they actually sent out 200-300 emails instead of 100. She als...
