Hi all! I have an interview coming up on Monday for the Rush GEM program, and have been browsing this site for others who may be going through the application and interview process. Have seen a few...
Hi Abigail. For the 2-year track, we only take half of the classes each semester, and nearly all of the clinical courses are in the second year. The only clinical I have done has been psych, which was...
Hi All! Congrats to everyone who has been accepted to this Fall's cohort! For those of you who are still waiting, take comfort in the fact that many of last fall's students were not accepted until the...
Hi all! I started the Pace CDP program at the NYC campus in Fall 2011, and am doing it over 2 years. So far, I have had a generally positive experience. The professors I've had up to this point,...
Fox- I did get a call in to financial aid today, and they said I would be eligible. I also made it official and asked my adviser to revise my schedule for the 2-year program. Just seems like a better...
Hey Fox! So I'm thinking pretty seriously about switching, and figure I need to make the decision ASAP! I've got an interview for a part time job on Friday to make a little extra cash, but was...
Fox- I will be taking Patho this fall and also Evidenced Based Practice (409) online. I'll let you know when I find out what books I need for those. For 624, I am in section 71951 with Kutzin. What...
Fox- Thanks for the words of encouragement! The good news is, I am taking 624 this coming fall. The bad news- I just looked at the text list and there's a ton! Would it be okay if I PM you re: any...
Hi Fox. Thanks for the info. I have already seen that administrative things such as financial aid, etc, seem a bit off, but am happy to hear that you've had positive experiences with the instructors....
Iryna- sorry it took me so long to respond. I actually have been accepted to and will be attending Pace University in NYC in the fall. I would love to be in the GEM program, but would have a hard...
Hey. Wanted to post that I was accepted at Pitt for Spring but will be declining and attending Pace starting in September. Good luck to all! I hope that those who read this thread in the future will...
Hey all. Wondering if anyone else is going through the extra stressful process of applying to ABSN programs with a low GPA. My cGPA from undergrad (albeit at a very respectable university) is a...
Hey guys! Just requested to join the facebook group. Super excited to meet you and the others in the cohort. I've got a lot to do in the next 2 months. To you guys happen to know how large the class...
Anyone else applied to Kent accel BSN for fall 2011? Applications are under review and, even though I think I'm a long shot, I'm anxiously awaiting a decision (and hopefully an invitation to write an...
TLC- I was also declined. I was actually a little surprised as I had thought I nailed the essay. Fortunately, I found out last week I was accepted to Pace University in NYC, and will be starting there...
MMGB- Have you had an opportunity to speak to any current students? All those negative comments still scare me a little, but it seems like they may have just had a bad year. I looked at NCLEX pass...
Congrats tothc! I was recently accepted at Pace and am strongly considering going there! I'm so proud of us and our low GPAs! I hope we can give some hope to others coming through these boards in the...
Iryna- Just completed the online information session, which I guess is similar to the info session Molly does before interviews. It's tough waiting another whole month for a response! I'm expecting to...
bTLC- The essay topic just came up, and I'm pleased to see that it is a "what would you do" type case study. Good luck with your essay and I hope we both get good news July
ththc- That's certainly very frustrating, and is actually a bit of a turnoff to the program. Doesn't say much for their student support system or responsiveness, and you can never know if this is...
Nomad- A while back I had looked into traditional BSN programs, but decided it wouldn't be the best route for me. I have been relieved to find, however, that schools do value other things besides GPA,...
Finally got some good news! I've been invited to interview at Rush and will be doing my phone interview Monday. I've also been invited to the "essay round" at Kent State, which is on Monday as well. I...
