Hello. Does anyone know what day the committee will be meeting? I hear they are still taking applications. I don't know if that is a good thing or not. Everyone please post when you hear. Good Luck.

Awesome...You are a real inspiration. Good Luck!!!!

awesome...way to go! when did you turn everything in? approximately, how long did you have to wait? again congrats....

The exam went very well. All I'm doing now is waiting. Anyone else hear anything yet?

I decided against this program just because I didn't want to move. I wouldn't worry though.

Marymount University.

Unfortunately, I don' have a bachelor's degree. I will post how the exam goes. I'm taking it on Friday. I hope that it doesn't take long before I find out. Waiting is excruciating, but the next review deadline is December 1 so I guess we won't wait...

Did you have to take the admissions exam? I'm kind've nervous about it. I was wondering what that was like?

I don't have a bachelor's degree. I was told I did not need one for the program. I'm not an LPN. I'm a little confused now. I'm not a nurse. I wasn't aware that you already had to be licensed to go through the program. I'll have to check with t...

Hello Everyone, I'm thinking of applying to MUSC to enter the Accelerated BSN program. Is there anyone out there that is currently in or has gone through the program? If so was the admissions process difficult? Did you find the teachers helpful? ...

Don't feel bad. I haven't been in dialysis long, but our nurses that are new to dialysis usually take about three months to train. If they are on the floor in 3 weeks they already know dialysis and they just need to become familiar with the machine...

I was just wondering..I'll be working while going through as a PCT in a icu. Does this count as the one year experience you need towards the admissions requirements.

Okay. Thanks. Yes, I am a Patient CareTech. I figured that I would have to work in a acute setting as an RN for year as well, but I thought it would look even better if I had a year or two experience as tech. Thanks for responding...

I think the difference in medical assistant and nursing assistant is that nursing assistants focus on bedside dutes and working with people who require frequent evaluation. They most often work in nursing homes and hospitals. Medical Assistants work ...

I found out about it on the program on my state's BON website. It is a one year program. After we complete the first semester we are a CNA/PCT. In the second semester we learn more advanced skills. I'm not sure about LPN's starting IV's. The pro...

Honestly, it really shouldn't matter where you get the training. I'm going through a community college because I'm already a student there doing pre-reqs for a nursing program. Go with whatever is affordable and convient for you. Someone mentioned...

Yeah, I mean start IVs. But that is in second semester of the course and there is a short phelobotmy course in between that last for a couple of weeks. I can't remember off hand how many training hours we have to have at the end. I thought it woul...

A BON is the board of nursing for your state. That is how I found out about all the different programs offered and whether or not they were geared more for long term facilities or acute care. In my state there are two semesters for the cna program ...

A few years back I went through nurse assistant training at a long term care facility and it worked out really well. After I married I moved and stayed home awhile with my children and my certification expired. To make a long story short, I recentl...

Awesome!!!! And especially on your scholarship!!! Thank you. I wish I knew more about how this whole process works. I applied for the Traditional program. This is my first bachelors degree. I'm hanging in there. It is difficult. I did wait till almos...

Hi Jennifer, A friend of mine got into both UMB and Hopkins. She chose Hopkins, because she felt the faculty and staff were geniune. She has a disability and they have been doing everything they can to accomodate her. So far her clinical experien...

Congrats!!! I turned in my application the last week of August. I got a letter two days later saying they have completed the preliminary evaluation, but nothing yet. Good luck to you!!!

Wow..It's been a little while. Has anyone heard when the first round of letters are going to go out?
