I worked at a level one trauma center ER for a year, then switched to CV ICU before I applied to schools. In order to increase your chances (&for your own benefit), you definitely need ICU experience. ER & ICU are very different, & I'm g...

Here's my story. I did a 16-month absn program. if you are going to attend an absn program, you probably cannot work. The schedule will be very tight. You don't want to sacrifice your GPA over NA/clerk experience. But, if you can somehow manage both,...

Im not 100% sure, but it sounded like it. If they already sent out letters, and people already got a call from them, i assume its done.

I could not wait, so I called the department. They sent out letters to all applicants ( accepted or not) yesterday. So if you did not get call so far, probably not accepted. Little disappointed, but I am accepted to OU so I am trying to brush it off.

Congrats!! :)

I got a call last Tuesday. :) good luck to everyone!

I totally agree with mschas! It's very competitive to get into NS now, but please don't be discouraged by GPA. I recently got accepted to 2 ABSN programs with under 3.0 undergraduate GPA. So you can do it, too!! =) For the finance,,, try hard to get ...

I was very grateful that I was accepted to UR, but I decided to go to another school. I wish all of you (accepted and waitlisted) the best. =)

Don't be discouraged by GPA! I had exact same GPA(2.95) in my undergraduate and recently I got accepted my top choice ABSN program. (My graduate GPA was higher than undergraduate, but not supper high..also both are from outside U.S) However, I did ve...

Most important thing, I believe, is how to make yourself stand out from the rest. The questions I was asked (both ABSN programs) were very generic. Why nursing? Why this program? Strength and weakness? etc. I tried to relate my personal experiences...

Congratulations! Isn't it awesome? =) Now you can relax and enjoy!

JonB04 You can absolutely do it! Why not?? =) Like other posters already said, it is doable as long as you are focused on your goal and dedicate a certain amount of time to it. When I first read posts here Allnurses.com, it seemed like every one has...

Thanks a lot Chickenlake and twois!! I'll look into these suggested areas =)

I'm not a math person at all..But I took statistics last semester and end up getting A! Even though I didn't like my professor and his teaching style, I just did what I had to do get a decent grade. I think it is all about understanding the concepts...

Yogi - Wow, where did you live in Vermont? I'm living in UVM graduate housing near Burlington downtown. =) I like Vermont but it's winter is too brutal.... Maybe because I lived in California before moving to Vermont..haha LittleQ- Congrats! =)

I worry about finding a good place since I'm living in Vermont now and I don't have any local contact over there... But thanks Cat 2012 for great info. =)

Congrats SandyH, Elmo, and Spring2011!! now I need to focus on my microbiology presentation. =)

OMG!!!! I'm accepted. too!!! my hands are shaking....=)

I didn't get info session email, either...hmmm I can't focus on my microbiology presentation prep...(It's next Monday Ah~~~) So nervous......

Hey, Malapata! Thanks for your kindness. I'm wondering what if the program cuts too many things since it is just 12-month program. How do you feel about work-load and learning curve? I know it's a great program but I just want to know the opinion fr...

Hi, everyone! I am too very nervous about their decision... I enjoyed last Friday and hopefully I will be given a chance to study there. But I know there are so many applicants with great credentials, so who knows... Next Monday is my last day of sum...

Sandy! You must be thrilled to finish summer classes. I still have two more weeks to go....Ah.... My interview is this Friday and I'm excited and nervous. I had a phone interview for U of Rochester on Monday and I felt "OK". Hopefully, I will do be...

Thanks, Malapata! If you don't mind would you share your first semester experience? I haven't visited the school yet, and don't know anyone who attended. Any info will be appreciated!!

I just finished my interview!! OMG! I was very nervous, but the interviewer lady was very nice. =) The lady said that they will notify the decision in the middle of September. Now waiting game begins! Good luck to everyone!

Thanks, CSy! My interview is scheduled on 2 August. I'm so nervous... It is totally unexpected thing that they will accept only 55. Wow... Anyway! good luck to everyone!! =)
