I do not mind. I have a bachelor's in health systems management that I completed last year. I did some pre-requisites when I was completing it, i.e, socio, gen psy, abn psy and Eng. I took Chem last sem. I am still figuring out when to take Micro and a &p 1 and 2. My teas were not great, I think I had an 85 or something like that. science section floored me. I was getting inpatient so I called them last week and they said they were still reviewing the files and that the first letters would be sent out soon. :yeah:Then I got the letter...hooray.... I hope you get in and find out soon. I would also like to hear from anyone who is currently attending BHSON. I have a ton of questions.

Got my letter of acceptance this afternoon.

I know this is an old thread. I was wondering whether you got into the ACE program at SCSU.

I contacted SCSU a couple of times without any luck. Then I saw in their website that they do not respond to queries unless a formal application has been received. So I went there and dropped my application. I must say the staff at admissions was friendly enough but seemed to know little about the ACE program. Once my application was in I had no problem getting someone to answer my questions on the phone although the call would be directed to the nursing department. I am waiting to apply to ACE program. I like the way they evaluated my credits. Much more generous than the community college.

How is the schedule at bhsn if you attend full time. Do you have to go all day everyday?

Thanks for your input. Maybe I should have mentioned that I have all the other pre-req's like maths, stat and English completed during within the last few years when I was completing my bachelor's. The pre-reqs am talking about, A&P 1 & 11 and Micro are classes I had taken for my first degree (which was healthcare related but from a foreign country). SCSU accepted them for transfer. NCC said they would not accept credits that are more than seven years old. I would love to apply to many schools but, these classes are expensive and I am penny-pinching. I would hate to pay for pre-reqs with money I do not have only to find out I did not really require them, in the event of getting into SCSU. I hear it is very competitive but I am choosing to keep my faith. I will take Chem and apply to SCSU and BHSN and if I do not get in, then hopefully by then I will have a job to pay for them. I still do not understand why accelerated bsn has fewer demands and shorter training time than the ADN. To me it looks loopsided.

I am pretty new to this site though I have been visiting it daily for a while. I have a bachelors degree.and I am also applying to nursing school. I have called several schools such as WCSU, Uconn, and a few others and the first question they ask is "have you applied to the accelerated program?" so I submitted my transcripts to SCSU. What is amazing to me is that they said I needed only one prerequisite, Chem, but NCC said I have to take AP 1 & 11, and micro. I have these credits taken them many moons ago. So I have decided to take only chem this fall, apply to the ACE program and keep my fingers crossed. If I do not get in, then I will re-take the other prereq's and apply next cycle. What schools are you applying to Deannah? Does anyone know any other school with a second degree BSN that is less than two years?

:argue: O.K, I feel discouraged right now. I am applying to SCSU for the Accelerated degrees, of course the applications for the nursing school will be out in Nov. Did they tell you why you did not get in? Was it the GPA? Did you have all the pre-reqs? Did they interview you? I want to have a feel of what to expect.
