UICBSN2012

NurseLil I am a postal employee and finishing up my BSN next year. I wonder if being a federal employee gives me an advantage to get an RN job at the VA. I am really interested. Good luck to you.

I don't know what agency you work for, but in my department here at the postal service I have alot of standby time and can do alot of the studying at work. I assume you do not have that luxury. Good luck

smyle I'm a postal worker and just got accepted to one of the top BSN programs. I worked the graveyard shift while I completed my pre-nursing classes. Attended night classes at community college for a few years which worked out pretty good. I switche...

Just wanted to start a UIC thread here since the acceptance/denial letters will be going out soon. I expect to get the decision by April 15.

That's great. Start working on all your immunization requirements ASAP.

Why not just pursue a nursing specialty? Do you have your BSN?

I think the RN-BSN bridge programs differ from the start-from-scratch BSN programs. The science classes are not involved in the bridge program. I wouldn't consider University oriented Chemistry classes "fluff". This is what's required at the universi...

See you all at orientation tomorrow :)

I sure hope you two (anna and 2012) get in. It really sucks being in limbo. Good Luck

Got mine a couple days after the acceptance email around 4/24

I have :)

The UIC Access to Excellence Grant is more based on financial need. A certain GPA (3.0 I think) is required though.

Since I don't pay housing it will run me around 10K a semester. No scholarships have been awarded, but may come later. My awards are 5K for Pell Grant, 5K for MAP Grant, and 8K for the UIC Access to Excellence Grant which total 18K.

Just got the award summary email. I can't believe the awards I recieved. It almost comes out to free tuition. I highly suggest you girls speed up those FAFSA applications or the MAP grant money will run dry. Keep in mind that I do have 4 dependents w...

I think 80 got accepted, and 50 waitlisted. I hope you get it

I just mailed in the tuition deposit, functional expectation form, and also the income verification forms to Financial aid. I still have to clarify some immunization stuff. I also paid for the CPR class through Paypal. Ready to rock :) Littytenny I ...

Megan. I sent it to you. It is in MS Word format. I would recommend you erase your email from that post. You don't want any undesirables grabbing hold of it :)

Littytenny It should be attached to the email they sent you. Mine was. Let me know if you need it :)

I just got the Elizabeth Fern email. It goes something like this: Congratulations on your excellent academic credentials which have qualified you for regular admission. I am pleased to inform you that the UIC College of Nursing Baccalaureate Admissio...

I just checked my status on the UIC site and it shows this: Application Data Admission Term:Fall 2010 - Chicago Admission Type:Transfer JuniorDecision:Admit - Pending Level:Undergrad - Chicago Program:BSN:Nursing (BSN) -UICCatalog Term:Fall 2010 ...

Congratulations Hosanna What time did you receive the email?

You can add me to the NO EMAIL group. Still waiting. I applied to Chicago.

So far no email. I'm starting to worry. Probably tomorrow.

Good luck to you. Does this mean everyone accepted and waitlisted? I have my fingers crossed.
