  1. Well, I thought this day would never come, but the application period for Western U's MSN-E program starts a week from today! I'm beyond nervous, as I've been working on this career change for over...
  2. There were about 100 people interviewed last year I believe. I think there were three sets of three days for interviews last time. I could be wrong
  3. I don't think it can hurt to keep them
  4. If its just a numbers game I wouldn't have been accepted. They look at each candidate individually, with emphasis on your recent work. My cumulative gpa was less than 3.0, but my last 60 units were...
  5. I know they have selected the Early Accepance candidates, since I'm helping at an event for them next week. Interview invites shouldn't be far off!!! Hang in there guys
  6. FYI waiters, the campus is closed until January 7th so you can try and relax at least until
  7. You're right mochikat. Also, our class wound up being almost 60 people. Not sure if they are planning that many in the next cohort, but it seems
  8. Finals are next week. Mildly traumatized ;)Profs are great, TAs are also awesome. All in all it's been an excellent
  9. There will be at least a couple of people from my cohort there to answer questions
  10. I think everyone has a difference outlook. We are just starting our first tests, and a lot of people are nervous. But for the most part I think we have a good solid cohort! We start clinicals in...
  11. Hi guys, thought I'd check back in and see if anyone has questions for a current student :) We are just starting week
  12. Couldn't agree more with MochiKat's assessment of why orientation week has done nothing but solidify my enthusiasm for Western. I can't wait for classes to start! See you Monday
  13. BeesMama, I think the biggest question is what is your GPA for your last 60 college units? Western puts an emphasis on this, and really likes to see a strong upward trajectory for grades. Western is...
  14. I'm sure it depends on your individual circumstance, but I have a mix of Stafford loans and Grad Plus
  15. You can get loans for the entire 4 year program, not just the pre-licensure
  16. I'm so glad you guys don't have to deal with NursingCAS this go-around. That was a
  17. How do you handle the drug seekers?

    I haven't started nursing school yet (one month!), but this story sounds very familiar to me. I was that little girl when I was a child. My mother has had addictions to pain medication most of my...
  18. YAY!!!!!!
  19. I start the MSN-E program at Western in just a few weeks. I'd be happy to answer any questions you might have
  20. I took both microbiology and physiology with labs online with University of New England, and was accepted into a highly competitive MSN-Entry program. I called the school first to make sure they would...
  21. I feel for you guys on the waiting list I can't believe they havent called anyone
  22. I'm sorry you guys haven't heard anything yet. Hopefully
  23. The application process was frustrating because Western used a system called NursingCAS. My understanding is that they had so many problems with it, that they will not be using it in the future, so...
  24. Lizzie, I start the program this fall.
  25. I started investigating MSN-E programs at least three years ago. I decided on Western because of their focus on humanism, efforts to provide for medically underserved communities, and their emphasis...
