After reading some seriously mixed reviews from the past, I'd love to hear from some current EKU students. What do you think of the EKU BSN and/or ABSN program? Thanks in advance.

As of last summer, Old Dominion's tuition had gone over the AECP cap and they were unable or unwilling to waive the rest. Maybe they've figured out how to do it, but they didn't seem like they planned to try.

Hi, all! I wanted to start a thread for Generic BSN program students who are starting Fall 2011 at Wayland Baptist University. I can't wait to meet you all! Please tell me about yourselves. I'm a flute player in the Army but I'm switching to Army nu...

I was granted early admission to EKU's ABSN program because of extenuating circumstances having to do with the military. I'm so excited!!! I hope to hear from any other applicants, current EKU nursing students, or (in the future) Fall 2011 acceptees....

the aecp site is here: https://www.us.army.mil/suite/page/621795 log in to ako before typing in the address.

See you soon!

Well, LOL, I'm sorry to say I won't be meeting you. The Army is moving me around again and now I'll be going to school in Texas! But good luck everybody, and you're welcome to use my thread.

Thanks, Charlihoo! I really appreciate your words of wisdom! Hopefully I'll see you in a year or two.

I'm an enlisted person in the Army, but I'm about to start the AECP and become an Army nurse. My supervisor is working on my NCOER, and in the block where it says what positions you should be considered for, he wants to put my possible positions as a...

I'm not totally sure, but I remember reading somewhere that they look at your best score.

Yes, got it! Woo and hoo!

I got an Excel document called "Transcript Eval" back in December. Is that what you all are talking about?

Well, I definitely see your point, but my supervisor disagrees and still wants some 2LT job titles.

just got the following informational email, which i'm sure you will all get, too: thank you for applying to the university of texas health science center san antonio's school of nursing. we have received your application and are in the process of rev...

Not yet!

Wow, thanks for the heads up on the hospitals and the parking. I'm so glad I found this site!!

Thanks, Cyclical! That was so helpful! Actually, I wasn't thinking so much about getting lost in the crowd as I was about hassle vs. facilities/opportunitites. Wayland Baptist is so small that it seems like there would be less hassles (i.e., no par...

Thank you, CyclicalEvents! I'm trying to decide between UTHSCSA and Wayland Baptist. What are your thoughts on the big school vs. smalls school experience?

Oh, wow, I was thinking for some reason we would hear in a week or two by email. Maybe I'm thinking of a different school. Anyway, good luck to everybody! Anyone here know people going through the program now? What do they think of it?

I just finished FON241 online through Rio. I knew ahead of time what I was in for because of these message boards (thank GOD and thank you!). The course has 1,000 points. There's a lot of work and a lot of information. I studied for two weeks for...

I was also accepted into the AECP FY11. I just looked at Wayland's website, but all I see is a 4-year BSN or an RN to BSN program. I do not have an RN. Do they have something AECP-friendly that is just not posted? Thanks in advance!!

I had a question that I know you AECP students can answer: when do you get commissioned in the AECP? I just got accepted into the program, but I can't find that piece of information anywhere.

Old Dominion in Virginia is very military friendly.

Oh, and in regards to aggie nurse's post, it is very tough to get into a program. It's usually like 400 applicants for 40 slots or something. You should start volunteering at a hospital NOW and doing community service now, and of course getting awes...

I just got accepted into the program, so doing the packet is fresh in my mind. The packet is a massive undertaking. Have you read all the instructions? Start early and ask the program manager lots of questions (try not to ask things that are in the i...
