i just got my email. i didnt get in it said the average GPA was 3.84. Good luck to the rest of you!!!!

i havent heard anything yet. The latest that they would let us know would be by February 28th. I DOUBT that I will get in becuase it is sooooooo competitive. IF anyone hears anything either way please post it here. Thanx!

I also applied for this summer. I wish they would just tell us either way because it sucks to wait for so long. I have a 3.52 gap and scored 85 on the hesi... i heard many people dont get in with higher gpa and scores than that so im worried. i hope i get in but if i dont i will try to get into south university. Tuition isnt that bad at fau, idk about housing. I would try to get an apartment if i went there.

Thanx!! the community college near me has something like that to but idk if it takes two years or just one. but i'll look into that

Are there any RN to Sonography or ultrasound programs avaliable? Or vice versa? I haven't heard of any. I'm jus wondering because I thought it would be interesting to be able to work as both. If your already a nurse and want to get into sonography does it take 2 years or 1? Thanx!

i have heard that if you attend a proprietary, for-profit college the credits might not transfer if you want an advanced degree. is this true? why is this if the school is accredited. I would want to get a CRNA degree eventually.. the proprietary school i am considering is south university. thanx

@StangGang92 yea I thought about that also. My GPA is 3.5 right now. So I hope that would happen. I guess I would have to finish the pre-reqs, apply and talk to someone in the financial aid department to see exactly what it would be in the end. Ideally, if it was like $18,000 I would go there first because it's so close. And @ Paeonia you also have a very good point and I wouldn't WANT to be like 25 living at home because of a lack of other options, and you never kno what lies down the road. I think it's more of my mom trying 2 keep me at home as long as possible lol. She thinks I would have a better chance of getting a job if I do the clinicals nearby in local hospitals but I dnt think so.

yea thats a good idea thanx. i will look into that

yea i understand your point, thanx :)

how much do new nurses make a month? im thinking the minimum and hour is $20 for a new nurse and im assuming that they get somewhere around $1500 to $2500 a month. i could save half of that easily i think..

thanx. I looked at a book with all the interests rates n things. I would want to pay it off as soon as possible. Right now, my car is paid for and i only have to pay for gas, insurance, phone bill and misc things- and thats not much. thats why i was planning to continue to live at home and pay it off that way. idk if saving half of every paycheck to pay off student loans is doable. i would want to have it paid off in like 4 or 5 years. im pretty good with money and dont spend unnecessarily. is it completely unrealistic to think this way? lol

other community colleges in my area (or even close) dont offer bsn degrees only adn

thanx for your reply. i considered that and it would be a little bit cheaper, but i would have to either pay for an apartment or a dorm and that would still cost a lil bit. but it would be like $30,000 cheaper. the bad side is that alot of state colleges have waiting lists.. FAU is another school in the area and i think their waiting list is like 1 to 2 years long anyway..

Ok so here is my situation: Im about to have an AA degree from a community college. i changed my major recently from pharmacy to nursing. I want to get a BSN degree because i would want to advance my nursing career and possibly become a CRNA. Also from where i am now in school, it would take 2 years to complete a BSN degree anyway instead of getting a ADN for the same amount of time. i live in florida and the closest school to me that offers BSN degrees is South University. They are a private, proprietary school and tuition for the two years would be at least $50,000- thats tuition alone not including books and fees etc.. so it would probably end up being $60-70,000 but i would be able to start NS in April 2011. Pbcc is a community college and has recently become a state college that offers bachelors degrees in unrelated fields. pbcc is considering offering a BSN degree that MIGHT start in 2012. I would want to get my degree as soon as possible so I could start working as a nurse. i would have to get student loans to pay for most of it and i would live at home to repay them. Im 20, single, with no kids by the way. is it worth it to have that much in loans or just wait an extra two years for it to be cheaper? two years is a long time to me.. lol and does anybody recommend South University? was it worth it?
