You can do it!! I took A&P I & II and Micro all at the same time. I don't have any children, and I wasn't working at the time. There was still PLENTY of free time. With good planning and organization, you can do it all. Utilize all of your re...

To those who didn't get in for the spring, don't give up!!! Keep trying if this is what you really want!! You can still apply for the fall semester. (Tip: get some health care experience. I think this is becoming a major factor in who the admissions ...

There are 2 nurses that I work with who told me they failed out of nursing school the first time, but the second time they rocked it! They are 2 of the best nurses with whom I work on our unit.

Tiger95, I'm sorry you didn't get in. I was REALLY hoping to have you as a future classmate, but I wish you the best at Trident. I know several people who go there who enjoy the nursing program and tell me great things about it. You will be a great n...

You are right in thinking that many people have this reason as motivation for becoming a nurse. Although that is a great reason, you have to convey that to the admissions committee in a unique way. I am in no way an expert on this matter, but I alwa...

The commute to downtown in the morning depends on what time you leave. The drive is between 20-25 minutes at 6am from the Ashley Phosphate area. There is minimal traffic at that time though. If you leave around 7am from the Summerville area, I hear i...

I currently live in Charleston (actually the very top of Charleston County). I moved here a couple years ago after I got married because my husband has a job here. I love it! Not a huge fan of the flooding when it rains, especially downtown, but it i...

When I wrote to them for info last spring, they told me that the average GPA for admitted students was a 3.4 but the range was from 3.0 - 4.0. She didn't specify which GPA that was, but my assumption was that it was the cumulative GPA. They also said...

I'm really hoping you will all hear very, very soon!! I can appreciate how difficult it can be to wait. The time for priority to hear back was "by Sept. 30th". I heard on the 21st. Hopefully you will hear by mid October!! Keeping you all in mind as y...

Congrats!! I'm sure you are very excited and thankful that your hard work has paid off! I got my acceptance letter yesterday as well and my neighbor (at least one) saw me drop all of the rest of the mail on the ground so I could open the envelope and...

I applied priority admissions and got my acceptance letter today!! Best wishes to the rest of you!! I hope we will all be classmates in the spring!!

I would suggest that she shadow people in all areas of the medical arena if she really isn't sure what she wants to do: MD, DO, PA, NP, RN, PT, OT, RT, etc. That way she will at least be able to elimate a few. Volunteering at a local hospital, clinic...

I'm curious to see how the new 3 out of 4 science requirement will change the applicant pool as well. When I emailed them this past February about the program, they said that most people didn't qualify for the priority admissions because they didn't ...

It seems from previous posts that they may send out letters a couple days earlier. It may be different this year since they changed the requirements for the application. That may have increased the number of applicants and thus the length of time it ...

I was in a somewhat similar situation a couple years ago. I volunteered for 4 hrs/wk at a local hospital to gain some experience while I was working in a retail store. I found all of the information on the hospital website and called the volunteer c...

Just curious to see if anyone else is applying. I've had some difficulty with my online application sending the reference forms to my references. How do you feel about there no longer being an SAT/ACT requirement and having to have at least 3 of the...

I'm trying to get a jump start to prepare for applications when they become available in July and am wondering what the essay is about. Is it just "why do you want to be a nurse?" or is there more specific information that they want? Does anyone know...

Did anyone apply for priority admission? And if so, did you get in? I'm hoping to apply priority admission for Spring 2011.

I actually just emailed a lady at the ACC BSN program yesterday and asked her some questions. They accept 60 people for the spring semester and an additional 60 people for the fall semester. The average GPA is about a 3.4 but they take people with a ...
