Quick note- st kate's has stopped their post bac program. They are looking to develop an entry level masters program for 2013-2014.

I already have a BS, so the post bacc was a problem. Alot of student in my class have families (one girl has 1 year old twins) and they are able to work and take care of their kids. Right now we have class 9-4 on Monday then clinicals 7-3 or 3-11 tues/wed for half of the semester and that will be most of our schedule from now on. Our first summer was all online, no class time. Just a note, metro state has or is launching a DNP program as well! Our schedule leaves us with less in class time and more time on our own which I love!

I just want to note- if you already have a bachelors, getting financial aid from the government will be extremely tough if you are going for your second bachelors. Additionally, St. Kate's just got off probation. Their NCLEX pass rates were terribly low. It is important to look at those stats when applying. You can go to the mn board of nursing site and look at the info. I was accepted there and opted to go to metro state for the entry level masters program.

Hey all- I just started the program 2 weeks ago. I know some things have changed for my cohort from the first two, so if you ever want to know anything, feel free to contact me. [email protected] Lynsey

You can apply for waitlists? How do you go about doing that?

Thanks for your kind words. I know how this all goes, I have been waitlisted before and was accepted. I was just hoping not to have to be waitlisted again! You start to wonder if you are just waitlist material.

Congratulations everyone! I unfortunately was waitlisted but I am keeping my head up that maybe I will still get a spot. I shouldn't complain, I was accepted to St. Kate's Post-Bac program so I will be a nurse someday! But you always want your top pick. The good thing is I was told only 20 people got waitlisted, so not everyone from the interviews was put on the waitlist if they didn't get accepted. Oh well, keep on applying I guess!

I am new to this site and found this thread. I was invited for an interview next Friday and I am nervous too. I am glad to find others in my positions!
