Just thought I'd pass along some information to help you decide....Creighton University (where I'm currently getting my accelerated BSN) has both a nursing school and a med school. They have a note on the site from one of the associate deans in the s...

The apartments that I have seen nearby campus are either very expensive downtown professional-type living (~$2000+/month) or are not very nice. Creighton is on the very edge of a dangerous side of town (North Omaha), so living anywhere north of campu...

I'm at Creighton as an undergrad in their accelerated BSN program and love it. The campus is great, but mostly the school of nursing is fantastic. The Dean has come and talked to our class a few times just to get insight on how we are doing. I'm sure...

Hi Katie! I'm not a new grad who was hired, but I was wondering if you could give some information on your background and the interview process. I'm graduating in Decemeber and would LOVE to work at CHOC. I'm coming from out of state, so I'm not sure...

Alipearson, From what I understand, Hastings is a much smaller campus/experience. I think they watch all lectures recorded from the main campus, and then have clinicals at the local hospital. I'd say it's a good experience if you are interested in r...

Creighton University in Omaha, NE accepts them on a rolling basis year long until each class is full. I've heard from others that this fall is full, but it doesn't hurt to apply. They put together a waiting list and accept people until orientation da...

I'm in the program right now and almost done with the first semester...thank god!!! Everyone tells you it is intense, but you won't really know how it is until you start. In my undergrad, I took 15-18 units a semester and worked 40+ hours a week, and...

Hey everyone, just thought I'd chime in...I just started the January 2011 class and love it so far!! Biggest thing I've noticed is it's more intense that you will think. Clinicals and class time are equal to a full time job, plus all the studying out...

It didn't take very long compared to other places. I had everything completed at the end of April and got my acceptance package at the very end of may (just about 5 weeks). It was so nice to hear back so soon when some schools make you wait 3-4 month...

NewRNstudent, I'm in the program right now, and so far it is an amazing experience. I had a 3.4 overall GPA and about the same pre-req GPA. I've been told a lot of emphasis is placed on your admission essay as well. It does say on the website howeve...

UC San Diego- "We will be posting the New Grad job posting in the end of October for the next program starting in January 2011" http://medinfo.ucsd.edu/nursing/newgrads/ I've read in other threads that they get flooded with apps the day it opens and...

if you are able to maintain a 4.0 GPA and have take some spanish, you should have no problem being able to get into Sac State's BSN program. If you do that, I would transfer to Sac State asap so you can get their requirements done instead of UCD's re...

from what I understand of the law, ED's are only required to triage people for emergencies, and provide care for life threateing emergencies...if someone walks in with a sore throat, they can triage them and send them on their way to a primary care/u...

Hey Brittani, OMG that would annoy me!!! An A&P teacher should know how important a letter of rec is for nursing school!! Gah! Haha. I haven't sent the letter in yet (due by june 26, 30 days from when they sent it out), I'm still trying to work ...

For Fall, the dealing is July 1, and then they start doing interviews 2 weeks after that for three Fridays in late July/early august, and then a decision is made around the middle of August. My guess would be that you could note on your application t...

I havent started my duke application yet, but this whole thing kinda changes things! haha I have to send the deposit and intent to enroll letter to Creighton by June 26, and Duke's application isn't even due until July 1, so I won't know until it's t...

I got my acceptance letter in the mail today!!! I was shocked and happy at the same time! I didn't want to get my hopes up so I tried to plan on what to do if I didn't get in. But now I get to make some real plans!! Hopefully your acceptance will com...

I'm with you on the serious or creative approach. I want them to see I'm well spoken and a good student, but also not a bore-fest! lol I just started summer school today, so I'm thinking I want to get this essay done asap so I can just focus on my cl...

I haven't started my application yet, but hearing about this new system from you guys isn't makng me more excited! haha I haven't started my essay, but I also applied for the undergrad first degree transfer BSN at samuel merritt so I will use my essa...

Yea I made the cut off by .5 haha so Im glad I dont have to take the GRE! I'm really hoping to get into that program though. Creighton would be great as well! I talked to the recruitment counselor at creighton on thurs, since it had ben 4 weeks since...

Wow, Sandy! Thanks soooo much for all the great info! I'm really happy and scared at the same time about the news of the essay weighing so much! Its good to hear I have the opportunity to make up for not-so-perfect grades, but at the same time makes ...

awesome! can't wait to hear what goes on at the open house =) I'm thinking I might start to tackle my essay next week.... just some some motivation! haha has anyone started thinking about what track (research or spanish) they would do if admitted? I'...

Hi greatpyr_mom, wow, sounds like you have some great stats =) congrats, and well done! I volunteered for about 6 months at UCD as well, floated between trauma nursing and ped's floor. for the TEAS, I would reccomend getting the study guide. the stu...

I would love to go to open house, but I'm in California and a plane ticket is about $400...hahah unfortunatey I don't think I'll ever see duke until it's my first day as a student if I'm accepted! I'm taking a full load this summer and won't be able ...

So I was researching the Spring 2010 thread a bit to get some info on dates and what we can expect...Its really great to see how quickly things will move once the deadline hits! App deadline is July 1....looks like they do interviews that same month,...
