Someone sounds bitter about getting rejected lol

omg no!! that would be too much...lol. just dont wear jeans and a plain ol' t-shirt and you'll be fine. i've gone to class in leggings, uggs, and a blouse and the instructor has been cool with it. basically, they want you to dress nice cuz you're gon...

Dress code is NOT strictly enforced except for Tuesdays when you have your nursing fundamentals theory and skills lab....refer to BNice's prior post abt dress code (Nice, dressy clothes...no jeans, open toed shoes, etc...in other words, dress profess...

$45k-$50k for a private 12 month absn program (technically i think it's 11 just cuz we get a month off for vacation in december) in california...but i ended up getting $12k in scholarships, $24k in federal loans, and the rest in alternative loans. st...

I'm sorry you had such a "negative experience" at MSMC. I really find that surprising...I also find it really odd that you say the staff wasn't "supportive" of students. It's safe to say that my whole cohort right now would completely disagree with t...

idk who that clinical director you're referring to but we're referring to the ones who told us directly that those sweaters are not allowed at all DURING clinicals. you can wear them BEFORE clinicals, DURING lunch, and AFTER clinicals. we had clinic...

FYI on that blue fleece jacket...you can't wear that during clinicals....the people who sell you the uniform will say you can wear it during clinicals, which is why everyone in our class got it, but during orientation for clinicals, the instructors s...

concordia just started their ABSN program and i believe it's less than 3 years old (they started in august 08 and barely got accredited in october of that same year) whereas MSMC started their program over 10 years ago (early 90s). yes, MSMC is expen...

congrats everyone! your may cohort welcomes you to the best time of your life! :)

hahaha...it's sometimes necessary. you'll understand why when you start school.

just think of it this way...a lot of hospitals are hiring people with a BSN only and not just an ADN. when you graduate from this program, you will have a BSN....a BSN from Mount St. Mary's College, which is a very reputable school.

you can't use calculators for the math exam. a lot of people also thought it was fairly easy...the people who did "fail" only missed it by 1 question and ended up getting an 82% instead of the passing 84%. anyway, im sure you all did great during yo...

there's a couple "solve for X" questions but real simple...for example: 42 = 5x + 2...x = 8. lots of addition, subtraction, division, multiplying of decimals and fractions. conversion of percents into decimals, decimals to percents, percents to fract...

Math test was very simple and basic math. When you're accepted, they'll give you a sample math exam, which is very similar to the math exam you'll be taking. you have to get an 84% to pass....if you don't pass, you have to complete tutoring at the sc...

good luck w/ interviews everyone! we've been seeing A LOT of people getting interviewed the past couple weeks for either the absn or adn program. don't be nervous. don't over-analyze. don't over-prepare. just be yourself!

thanks vlove!! hopefully he gets in...he's so nervous abt the interview. lol...are u for the direct entry to the nursing program?? i told my bf he should join allnurses to get to know all you fabulous people who could potentially be his classmates!

did anyone get an interview for the direct entry to the nursing program? my bf got an interview invitation for this tuesday and we were wondering what kinda questions they ask.

you didn't get an interview? that's weird...did you apply for the pre-nursing route or the direct nursing route? i know msmc always interviews for the direct nursing route regardless of the program (adn, bsn, msn, etc)...maybe in your case, it was co...

wow. really? even if you are "j/k", that's a huge stereotype and you just completely overgeneralized the women at msmc. i take particular offense to this because i'm in the absn program already and contrary to your distorted belief, we don't sit arou...

congrats getting accepted!! my bf has his interview this coming tuesday. do you know what kinda questions they ask?? i wasnt sure if they asked the same questions they ask the adn program and the absn program since i only know the questions for the a...

i had physiology in progress when i applied.

they do accept people who still had classes in progress. our class had a good number of people who still had classes pending up until the week before classes started!! dont give up. they're doing ADN interviews now so they should probably be startin...

vlove, when did you get an email or notification of ur interview on wednesday? good luck btw!!!

BNice74...what's ur real name?! we're obviously in class together. lol edit i just figured out who you are. hahaha

bottom line...if you want it that bad, you'll suck it up and just do it. otherwise, do it when you're in the program and don't complain about it.
