Thank you!

Oh! That's a relief. Well, good luck at Simmons! I'm so excited for you. I just can't wait to start somewhere.

The fact that GU doesn't place us for clinical may be the deal breaker for me, but I'm still waiting on them anyway. Yeah, we shouldn't he using our time to stress about that on top of our classes. Only other school I'm accepted to is West Coast University, which is completely online and they are about $44k. Maybe you could look into that, too.

So glad you're getting excited! I am just still waiting on another school, but I don't think I'll make it in. We will see. The school is much more expensive ($80k) so Simmons still seems pretty likely.

Live lectures, huh? I sure didn't think about that. I sure hope I can make it to all of them! I guess I better start arranging my work schedules around the lectures. Either way, it's gonna be hard 'Cuz I work nights. We will see! I'm only waiting to hear back from a couple more schools until I make my final decision on Simmons. Simmons is looking more appealing to me everyday. Also, it's such a huge relief to see that Simmons will help us find clinical placement. That really saves us time and energy. Yeah, I hope I choose Simmons too so I can see you in class sometime!

I've just been waiting to hear back from a couple of other schools, that's all. But every day that passes by, it seems a lot more likely I'll be starting at Simmons! I can't remember all that well, but the bio refresher course was about $2k out-of-pocket, and the statistics refresher course is $63. Sorry for the late reply. I forgot to bookmark this topic.

Hi! Congratulations on your acceptance! I just got my acceptance letter today in my email and a phone call from the admissions counselor, telling me I've been accepted to Simmons, too. I was also suggested the bio bridge course and a statistics refresher course in September and will also be starting the program in November. I haven't yet made my final decision on enrolling in this school yet, but I'm more than eager to start the program. :)

I'm currently considering whether I should do the MSN generalist track and then transition to the MSN-FNP track once I get all my letters of rec in. They said I could even start in July, which is only in a couple of weeks! Wondering if there's anyone else out there who's considering this program or who's in it. Would be great to hear from you guys!

I have a feeling you did well. I hope you are happy on whichever department you end up working on!

You could always apply to Sanford, burtis. They seem to contact you relatively quick once you send in an application... like within a week or so.

I was hoping for Minneapolis, Rochester or Green Bay, but..... I think I can find some good in Fargo.

Yeah, I am moving out there. Just made the decision a few days ago. Not Bismarck though. Goin' to Fargo. Should be there next week!

"Why ND?" I'm glad they liked your answer, burtis. I wonder if they ever believed mine, "It's my dream to live in the Midwest." Which is kinda true, since I have been fantasizing about that quite often ever since I graduated college.

In the negatives...! Hoo, I am not sure how I'm gonna handle my very first North Dakota winter without even visiting this state before deciding to move there. I don't think I have an idea of what I'm getting myself into. And there's the wind chill...

Well, I don't know if you found these yet, but looks like there's only two places that offer BSNs in Bismarck: University of Mary and Sanford College of Nursing. I am not sure about the out-of-state tuition, but usually if you're from out-of-state, it's a lot more expensive.
