   Hey guys! You can pm me any questions you have about housing if you want! I remember looking and it was quite the struggle. The rent prices are high and the traffic is crazy, but there's so much to do, I'm willing to bet that you'll love it!

   Which test scores are you referring to? the ATI? Just as an aside, Marymount looks at every part of your application. Your references and past experience is important too! I say go for it!

4. When to Apply for a new grad job

   katlee08 posted a topic in New Nurse

   Hi! I'm in a A-BSN program and my class graduates in December. We're all a little confused as to when we should start applying for jobs. We've been told August, but will hospitals hire prior to taking the NCLEX? Will there be nurse preceptorships/...

   Is this for your rankings for Medsurg clinical? We only had one clinical/ week our first semester. I really liked having Wednesday off, and I had mine at Virginia Hospital Center on Fridays. I can tell you that Holy Cross Hospital is a long haul i...

   katlee08 replied to Mamz1's topic in Virginia

   Hi everyone! First of all, I'm in my third semester at Marymount, and so far, it's been great! The tuition is very expensive, so that's definitely a downside, but Marymount seems to have a pretty good reputation in the clinical area (a lot of the nu...

9. Marymount Accelerated BSN - Spring 2010

   katlee08 replied to Pokytrokyt's topic in Virginia

   I agree that the tuition is excessively expensive. I'm in my first semester as well, and so far I haven't had any problems. A lot of the teachers are indeed new, but I like *most* of them, and all of them have taught in other programs. I know that...

10. Honest Opinion - Marymount Accelerated BSN - 2010/2011

    katlee08 replied to bsn_in_2011's topic in Virginia

    I think in general it's hard to maintain nursing staff, part of the nursing shortage problem is a lack of educators. From what I'm told, a lot of our staff is new, but there are definitely some seasoned instructors, and even our new instructors have...

    blb5103, I'm in my first semester at Marymount and I know for a fact that the earlier you apply the better! I'm not sure if they'll consider more than one reference, but I would try specifically calling the admissions office at the school of health ...

    For those of you who haven't heard back yet..have you tried emailing an admissions counselor? their email addresses and which students they cover are listed on the website. It may be helpful to contact your specific counselor.

    Hi everyone, I also got my acceptance letter from Marymount a couple of days ago! I'm waiting to hear back from a couple more schools as well, but I'm most likely going to be attending Marymount this fall, and I'd really like to get to know other st...
