It's a bit overwhelming. There has been a lot of hurry up and wait. I think I have most of the stuff taken care of. I'm just waiting for financial aid to get their act together and to find enough time to get my ID and books. Fortunately I didn't have...

28 days and counting!

Thanks Gabby! If anyone needs any help with anything, I am a Tucson resident. I've only been here 3 years, but I still may be able to help. Also, to anyone still waiting and reading this thread, there is still hope. I've talked with a few ladies cur...

I'm IN!!! See you in a few weeks!

So how is everybody doing?

Speaking of which, I was just rejected from the traditional BSN program too. I don't think I have whatever U of A is looking for. Gabby - I'm sorry you decided against U of A for now, but rest assured that Nevada has plenty of good programs too. Plu...

Still haven't heard a thing. I don't think I will be getting in this year. Did anyone here apply to the traditional BSN program too?

They said they would start selecting alternates pretty soon. They didn't give a specific date, but they said they would evaluate those on the waiting list once they knew how many spots they need to fill immediately. So I take that to mean anytime, be...

When I dropped off the alternate list acceptance letter they said they only placed about 20 on the list. Also, I called Friday afternoon and they said they had about 20 waiting.

I hope that a lot of people will not accept since there are only 9 sponsorship spots, the programs price tag went up significantly, the letters came out long after many other schools, and there is less than a week to accept. I was also told that they...

I'm wait-listed too.

I counted how many people were on the schedule that was hung up in the meeting room. Also, there was a nursing student at my work that is currently in the ABSN program and her teacher, who was also conducting some of the interviews, said there was ar...

No. This weekend is going to be so long...

The interviews were very short since, like Zhongguolong said, they were interviewing nearly 200 people. There were 3 to a group with 2 interviewers per group. They asked very basic questions; mostly questions about personal and academic character. I ...

Well, the big day is approaching. Good luck to everyone tomorrow!

I am just finishing up pre-requisites for admission into the accelerated nursing program at U of A. I thought I would also apply to NAU's accelerated program, but they require an additional class that U of A does not - pathology. If I were to take p...

I am going in at 8:30am too! I selected self-pay - it actually surprises me that there are any hospital positions available. I'll see you there!

I just got my email too! Congratulations to you! What time is your interview?

So who all ended up applying for the program? I don't think I am going to be able to sleep until I get a reply.

Since it is now part of the graduate college they take both cumulative and prerequisite GPA's into consideration. I can't say what the historical cumulative GPA has been (has to be 3.0), but they were saying that the prerequisite GPA is generally 3.5...

The sponsorship option may not exist anymore. At the information session they said that they haven't established whether the option is viable here anymore. A lot of the local hospitals are really suffering financially. As for me, I really don't inten...

After looking at other second degree and MSN programs out there, comparing cost, time, resources, etc, I still applied to the program. I felt a lot better about the changes after attending another information session and after speaking to some nurse ...

I actually relocated a few years ago for the purpose of applying to the ASBN program with the hospital sponsorship. However, after living here for awhile, I want to go back home as soon as I have finished - I am a long ways away from friends and fami...

I am hoping to for Summer 2011, that is, if they ever finish updating the graduate colleges application.

Congratulations to everyone who was admitted! I hope to be where you are next year. I know this sounds nosy, but what are your stats like (e.g. Undergrad GPA, prereq GPA, work experience, age,etc.)? I really want to be accepted, but I don't know if I...
