It's nice to know I'm not the only one to get all worked up over this exam! I took such comfort in reading everyone else's stories this afternoon, so here is mine (the quick version): Took the test today (Sept 14, 2pm). Very nervous (headache, insom...

Hi all! I've been posting over in the graduate student forum, but since I only applied to the ABSN program, I thought I'd post over here to see if anyone else had heard yet! I got my call today (I'm in! Yay!), but I can tell from past threads that th...

Thanks so much, UVA Grad Nursing! Do you know any details about VCU's program--like how long it is, if you can do parts online, or if you can do parts while working? I understand that the CNM and WHNP are often two different "tracks", but some of th...

Hi all! I'm trying to find out more about the MSN programs at VCU (Virginia Commonwealth University). Their website doesn't really address most of my questions... Does anyone have any experience with the Women's Health program? Does it prepare you t...

Hi everyone! I just wanted to see if there was anyone else out applying to VCU's Accelerated BSN program! I'm almost finished, but I'm still dreading the wait that will begin the moment I send my application in...:typing

Hey there, I started a thread for us future BSN students over here: https://allnurses.com/forums/f198/johns-hopkins-jhu-early-decision-354176.html Good luck!

I just got my call! I'm in!

Congrats Aimee b!!

Oh, congratulations Hopkins_undergrad! I'm so excited for you! And SO nervous for the rest of us! Thanks for sharing the news!

Hopkins_undergrad: my interviewer confirmed that Hopkins does sometimes "defer" (she used another word, but I forget now!) applications; if you applied ED for Accelerated, for example, you can ask to be reconsidered for Traditional, too! I'm feeling ...

I saw all these new posts, and I thought someone had heard already! I agree with what's been said--any call is better than no call! The message boards from last year show the 9th being the earliest they called...that's Monday...gosh, wouldn't that...

I've only applied to one other school so far (I'll hear back Dec 15th!), but I would really love to go to VCU. I have NOT always known I wanted to go into nursing; my first degree is in Philosophy/Theology/History of Math & Science! I figured o...

Gosh, wouldn't that be nice [to hear back w/i 6 weeks]?? When did you get your application in? I only FedEx'd mine right before Thanksgiving; I have SUCH a hard time "letting go" of applications; I keep rereading my essay and making last minute cha...

Hi there! I applied to the accelerated program, too, but according to the website, we won't be hearing back until early February. Only the Traditional BS program hears back in early December. So don't worry! Best of luck :)!

I knew there had to be someone else out there! I mailed my application yesterday...the wait is terrible! Did you go in for an information session? If so, what did you think?

Hey Hopkins_undergrad! How did your interview go? What was it like?

...well, I haven't quite applied to any other schools yet! Those Hopkins essays really pooped me out on writing applications; I have all my letters together, but VCU wants 2 copies of each transcript (whoops!), so now I'm waiting on them. Meanwhile...

Hi SFChef and serasarah18! I'm supposed to be studying for a quiz on the bones of the skull (!), but I needed a little distraction! It's been great to read your stories. Like you, serasarah18, I've known since early on in my undergraduate career tha...

Hey CalinurseS! Sorry, I just saw your reply. Isn't the wait excruciating?! I need to work on my patience! Are you thinking of applying to any other schools (just in case!) What are you doing in the meantime? I graduated with a Liberal Arts degree ...

Hi guys! I applied ED to the accelerated BSN program; I, too, had a rough time with the essays (am I ever glad they're over!). Last year's thread was great; maybe we can get one going for ourselves? Did either of you (or anyone else) decide to go Ea...

Hi StarryNyte713 & TypeA, I'm in the midst of applying to VCU's Accelerated Program (I still have 22 days until the deadline!). I've already applied to one other program, but the rest of my deadlines are in Feb. How many other schools are you ...

I know what you mean; I plan on applying to other schools "just in case," but I just really want to go to Hopkins. The Open House just reinforced what I'd already read & heard; the faculty was wonderful (serious, but also very friendly and appro...

Hi SFChef! I've applied ED to the ABSN program at Hopkins. I can't wait until December 15th! Have you visited JHU at all? I went to an open house and absolutely fell in love. GOOD LUCK!

Most of my deadlines aren't until Spring 09, but I've applied early to once school, and I'll hear back from them by December 15th. I'm so nervous! Ditto SFChef: Good luck everyone!
