Hello, I have my BS in biology and plan on applying for accelerated BSN programs this summer. I was curious if CRNA schools prefer students who went directly into a four year BSN over ones who chose the accelerated BSN program? How many of you did no...

Congrats to the new cohort! Get ready, its going to be a bumpy ride, haha.

Look into West Chester University in Pennsylvania. The list of pre-reqs is the smallest of any school in PA and they only require a 2.75 in the pre-reqs. Also, it says they want a 3.5 in your undergrad degree, but ive talked to several people who wer...

That is helpful, I think I am going to call also because I saved the emails and each one says we must take 12 credits to be considered full time, and you must be full time to receive any kind of financial aid. I just really want to know because I was...

Im going to try and talk to financial aid as well but they still have not emailed me back since last week. I really do not like how disorganized and last minute everything is so far. We can be full time in the summer but like I said there are only li...

I never heard that either, because I KNOW people who got loans and werent full time. I heard the same thing during my interview and I thought good because I know there were loans I didnt use in undergrad. Did you get the email she sent? It says you ...

I thought part time students could get aid as well because I know people who have it, it just might not be through the school. I emailed her numerous times and she specifically said you need to be full time to receive any aid from them, and that we w...

Did everyone get the email about being a full time or part time student? I had NO idea that we had to be full time to receive any type of aid from the school. This is an issue since the first summer session we only have 9 credits. I looked up other c...

I just got more information about the orientation, and that they register us for our classes. The letter also stated that there is some kind of packet they want us to bring to the orientation and that tells us what books we need. Its just sorta incon...

I received a letter in the mail yesterday. It said about paying the deposit, meeting with an advisor, and registering for classes. Im wondering if we really have to meet with an advisor since our classes are predetermined? I think Ill be making a pho...

Do we have to register for classes ourselves? Were all in the same class and its a predetermined thing I thought since they have the days and times already set up for us. I didnt even talk to WCU about financial aid, I just filled out the FAFSA and h...

It said the deposit is due by March 22nd, so Im sure you'll get the packet before then.

I received my official letter as well, but that packet they sent us isnt really useful. The only thing I got from it was that I need to pay a 200 deposit fee other then that it was basically useless.

Has anyone received their official letter or packet of information from WCU yet? I got the email on the 8th or 9th and still havent gotten anything else. I really want to get all the information so I can start figuring out loans, uniforms, books, vac...

Hello everyone just curious if anyone on here knew admissions info for either west chester or desales university for their accelerated BSN programs. Ive looked at the websites numerous times but cannot find any acceptance info data. I was wondering h...

Its almost impossible to work during the summer session unless you do weekends. The schedule is class two times 9-3, then lab 9-2, then wed 8-11. So theres only one week day when yours completely free and three of the days are almost full time days. ...

Djames, she didnts really ask to many questions honestly... the basic, why nursing, then went over the curriculum and asked if you had questions.. at least thats how my interciew went. Go Zags, most semesters wont even be full time, the first is onl...

I also got my acceptance letter today!! Now just have to figure out loans and how im going to pay for it!

Has anyone heard if they were accepted yet or not? I was told I wouldnt hear anything until late Feb or early March. Did they tell you guys the same thing in the interview?

I was told in the interview that if there were loans you were eligible for in undergrad, but didnt use, that you can use them for this program. She did say that there are scholarships but since there are so many students enrolled in the school that i...

Ill be commuting from York, so its gonna be a pretty long drive.

I just had my interview at WCU on Jan 15th. She did say they want to only do one cohort per year from now on because its getting difficult for them to arrange clincals/sites for so many students at different times. She also expressed concern about re...

Thank you so much for the response it was very helpful. It seems like during the fall/spring would be the easiest times to work since class is only one night a week and clincals are on weekends. I know that it says during the summer classes/clincals ...

I guess thats not too bad - under 5,000 a semester for tuition. My undergrad degree was relatively cheap in my opinion and it was around 6,000 a semester just for tuition. Im going to try to commute, even though its almost an hour and a half away fro...

Thank you so much for the heads up on the program. Hopefully with time they become more organized, I know the program is very new. Are the clinical sites far away from the univeristy? I plan on commuting there to begin with, which is about an hour an...
