hello everyone! i'm michele and i was also accepted to Western. at this point, i've accepted the offer of admission but am still waiting to hear back from 3 other schools. if i attend, i'll be commuting from Rowland Heights, which is about a 15 minut...

dewdrops, i felt that way too about Western. i got a good vibe from them as well, but it's ridiculously expensive and i'm kinda iffy about it being distance-based. and yeah, i love the fact that csula emphasizes clinicals so much during the first yea...

dewdrops, thanks for your feedback about this! i have been accepted to Western as well and am still on the fence about them. i recently interviewed for CSULA on Monday so i'm hoping for good news so i have more options! if you don't mind me asking, w...

and good luck to you all! :)

yes, i did; but i am still on the fence about going since i have to hear back from three other schools. if i decline admission, i'll be sure to let you guys know in case any of you are placed on the waitlist (god forbid :)). for those of you who have...

i finally booked my ticket and i'll be going to the open house too! hope to see some of you guys there! :)

cool! thanks so much for finding that information out! i'm looking at flights right now too :) where will you be coming from? i'm from CA.

hi everyone, my name is michele and i was accepted for the WHNP specialty! :) i was wondering if anyone knew if vanderbilt does a preview day/visit day for accepted students? i was hoping to take a closer look at the school and faculty before i make...

thanks lilpeapods! i, too, am usually pretty obsessive about checking the online status for the applications i've submitted but had no idea that UCLA had one. yeah, i'm hoping for next week too! :)

omg i had no idea you can check your decision status online. where exactly is the link located?

thanks for the info ilnurse. that's good to know. either way, i'm glad that most schools are deciding to change their curriculum to prepare us.

i actually met with a nursing adviser from admissions today at APU and asked her about the new DNP requirement. she said that although the ANA has mandated it for 2014, it most likely won't go into effect for 30 years because it is impossible to mak...

hey maxpower, i was at the early acceptance day too and just got my acceptance letter in the mail last saturday as well. how are you deciding whether or not to go to western? their $500 nonrefundable deposit is pretty expensive and i'm not sure if i ...

AHH!!! just saw this too and it's making me anxious as well! now i won't be able to sleep! i'm guessing we're gonna find out some time next week? i can't believe decision time is already upon us. good luck to everyone! :)

the wait is killing me too! i read on last year's thread that they heard back on 1/29 which was a friday. since all the dates have pretty much been the same this year, i'm guessing we'll hear back by friday, 1/28, which is in 10 days! i'm hoping for ...

it sounds like you have a really great shot at getting in! although you don't have time to volunteer right now, those 3000+ hours under your belt should be more than enough and definitely show them that you are committed to working in the health care...

thanks dche3! i'm not sure what to expect. it sounds like good news but i'm also trying to not get my hopes up :) if i remember correctly i submitted the online portions on the day it was due (Oct 1st) and sent in the hard copy portions a few days b...

thanks rhardey! i got the email today around 12pm and my last name starts with a C if that may help. good luck, i'll be crossing my fingers for you all on here :)

thanks maseca! :) sure, i have a pre-req GPA of about 3.8 and science pre-req GPA of about 3.7 (not sure if i'm calculating it right, lol). and my cumulative undergrad GPA was 3.6. i've done a good chunk of clinical work for about 2-3 years and shado...

hey everyone! i have good news! i got an email today from Daniell Mendoza saying that i was invited for an Early Acceptance Opportunity Day in lieu of attending a formal interview. :) he also provided interview dates in case i couldn't make it, wh...

thanks for replying maxpower and congrats on the interview!!! :) i haven't received an email yet either but crossing my fingers too!

thanks for the clarification rhardey. mine says complete and ready to process also but i was looking for "sent for committee review" this whole time and was starting to get worried! :) thanks for the info mxpower. was it an email telling you that you...

thanks for the update ilnurse15! i'll be on the lookout now for that on the status of my application! :)

aww! well at least that keeps me from checking my phone and online status every minute for a good few weeks. thanks for the update sjbarbs!

i feel the same way! no, i haven't talked to anyone from western about this year's application. i did however, attend an info session in 2009. everyone was incredibly friendly and helpful! but i was reading in a forum from last year that some people ...
