the summer there is no weekend hours but in the fall and spring it varies. In my interview I was told to leave the day open because they may be day/evening hours depending upon the hospital. in the fall I see on the website that they have clinicals set for 8am-4pm.

yeah i already sent mine in. I am just awaiting them to package it in. My summer aid been in since 3rd week in March.

ok i just got off the phone with finanical aid at @2pm. she said that they are very busy and would not be able to process in summer aid until maybe the end of april and they may be done before classes, but our bill will be due before than. starting tomorrow i will be emailing "important people on the wcu financial aid staff". below is the list i will send my email to. please also send out emails so that we can get our needs met. can you also post the response you recieve so we all can be enlightened with what is going on. disorganized and i am getting anxious. general email address: [email protected] director: [email protected] assistant director: [email protected] student loan officer: [email protected] information speicalist: [email protected] information speicalist: [email protected] information speicalist: [email protected]

Guys I have been calling the financial aid office almost everyday asking the same questions, but getting different answers from everyone. What is constant is that WE MAY HAVE TO PAY OUR SUMMER AID UP FRONT FIRST because they may not process the SUMMER AID in time for us to start school on MAY 24th. They say they can not process SUMMER AID until SPRING grades come out..I Informed them that ADVANCE BSN STUDENTS are not awaiting SPRING grades and that our AID can be processed NOW. If we as a "COHORT" can come together and call and make this an issue we may can get our AID processed! I did not plan to pay my first semester OUT OF POCKET. I think it is stupid that they are processing FALL/SPRING aid before the SUMMER. Please call and stress your concern at 610-436-2627.

Well, we can still get aid as a part time student the nursing department telling wrong information. You dont have to be full time but if you DONT take 12 credits for the summer we will be considered PART TIME. Either way you WILL GET AID! If you want to pick up another class you can add NSG 224 which runs after all our classes are over from Aug. 2nd through Aug. 6th. It is Domestic Violence Advacacy. ( talking to victims of abuse)

well let me tell you getting financial aid is going to be a hassel west chester process is slow......financial aid can not provide me a package until i register for classes. I am getting confused already!

correct the program ends Dec 2011, but we also have breaks off so if you really add it up and do the math its about 15 months. We get x mas break, spring break and other days here and there.

Yes! I got my acceptance letter on Friday 2/26/2010.....I am excited cant not wait to put faces to everyone who I have been talking to.

I will be attending this May the tutition is about 21,000 not including housing, books, transportation, uniforms, etc. I have spoken to many people and they all were 2nd degree student who had no knowledge of nursing compared to their first degree. The feedback that I recieved was that it is challenging and alot of studying. I heard they can be disorganized, but that layout of the program is not what the NCLEX is testing us on so for the most part if you study you should be fine. One of the teachers told me in the interview if I can get pass the first semester I will be fine.

@bella congrats I will see you there I received an email also. The wait is finally over!

yes I was told the same thing. They are still interviewing my friend has an appointment for sometime this week coming.

@LEFTY..the good thing is that u pay per semester which is good for me because my credit is not the best and I would need a co-signer which i dont have. so the first semester is about 3,200 2nd 3,400, 3rd-5th is 4,500..so about 20,000 to 21,000..again that is just tuition..BOOKS, UNIFORMS, TRANSPORTATION, LIVING EXPENSE IS NOT ADDED. SO REALLY IF U ADD IT UP IT NOT MUCH CHEAPER THAN DREXEL..DREXEL ADDED EVERYING WHICH GAVE US AT GRAND TOTAL OF 37,000

@Arievilo..how was the human diease course? I am soooo excited so i have alot of questions u can inbox me if u do not want to post all the answers..how comfortable were you when u took the NCLEX after the program? How was the course work given compared to what they tested u on? were the test like the NCLEX where all the answers are right u just have to pick the best fit answer? How did you do on the HESSE before u took the NCLEX? What teachers to watch out for and hoe did you manage to swing your life around from the summer day schedule to the fall/spring evening schedule? I know it is alot of questions, but if you are willing to be a reasoure can i ask you more question as they come to mind.

Interview was great. they looking for at least a 2.75 in the required sciences and about a 3.5 in GPA in your degree that u already recieved. They are looking for the best of the best. They are looking for 32-35 quailified people and their next cohort MAY NOT be until MAY. Usually they take 23-25 per cohort and have a new cohort every May/January but they are trying to do away with the january class, by making the May cohort bigger. She said they may not find 32-35 quailified students THAT ALREADY HAS THE PRE-REQ DONE

ok...i go tomorrow
