  1. UVM MEPN 2012

    StarofLifeRN replied to StarofLifeRN's topic in General Nursing

    Congratulations! We'll be classmates! I got an email today and was accepted to the ANP

    StarofLifeRN replied to StarofLifeRN's topic in General Nursing

    Nothing here! I'm officially getting

  3. UVM MEPN 2012

    StarofLifeRN replied to StarofLifeRN's topic in General Nursing

    I haven't heard. Last year they said they might, but I don't know if they did. The advisor I spoke with last summer said it depends on what the candidate pool brings - sometimes they do, sometimes...

  4. UVM MEPN 2012

    StarofLifeRN replied to StarofLifeRN's topic in General Nursing

    Wow, that would be a big move! I'll bet it's a lot warmer where you are

  5. UVM MEPN 2012

    StarofLifeRN replied to StarofLifeRN's topic in General Nursing

    Are any of you in VT? I'm settled here and still have one kid in school, which is why I've only applied to VT programs. Good luck to all of you! The wait is so nervewracking, and I'm glad to have...

  6. UVM MEPN 2012

    StarofLifeRN replied to StarofLifeRN's topic in General Nursing

    This is my second application. Last year the denial letters didn't go out until March, but by that point someone had posted on allnurses that they received their acceptance in late January, so it...

  7. career change from accounting to nursing?

    StarofLifeRN replied to Nicky143's topic in Nursing Career

    I'm also working on a career change! I was a college administrator with an MBA and worked in higher ed for 21 years. After volunteering as an EMT for a couple years I was inspired to make a change to...

    StarofLifeRN replied to StarofLifeRN's topic in General Nursing

    Hi! I'm glad to have some company here! Is this your first time applying to the

  9. Im 24 and I want to be a nurse badly but my age discourages me!

    StarofLifeRN replied to M.C.P's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It took me 9 years to get my bachelor's degree (and that was with an associate's) one class at a time. I finished when I was 38. I got my MBA when I was 43. Now, after 21 years in my field, I am...

  10. nursing (ADN) at vermont technical college

    StarofLifeRN replied to mtnbob's topic in General Nursing

    The premed program has been great, and I was able to tailor it to what I needed. The only problem is that I won't finish until May and the application deadline for UVM's master's program was last...

  11. nursing (ADN) at vermont technical college

    StarofLifeRN replied to mtnbob's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not sure if there are pre-reqs for VTC, but I would imagine they would favor applicants who have completed some science courses. I have also applied to Norwich and to UVM's master's entry program....

  12. nursing (ADN) at vermont technical college

    StarofLifeRN replied to mtnbob's topic in General Nursing

    I applied to the Williston site. The application deadline isn't until February, so I won't know for a while if I have been accepted. Did you email the admissions office? I found them to be very...

  13. nursing (ADN) at vermont technical college

    StarofLifeRN replied to mtnbob's topic in General Nursing

    I've applied to VTC for fall 2012, and my understanding is you have to start with the practical nursing program first. I'm not sure what the criteria is to move on to the

  14. I need your help, on campus master in nursing practice without GRE or any difficulty!

    StarofLifeRN replied to abu nawaf's topic in Post Graduate Students

    If I was aware of a school that had such weak admittance requirements I would report it, not recommend it. I'm curious why you want to find an easy way out through a diploma mill when those of us...

  15. UVM MEPN 2011

    StarofLifeRN replied to vls09's topic in General Nursing

    I got my denial letter over the weekend. Sort of anti-climactic at this point. I assume my downfall was a weak science foundation, so I've applied to the post-bac premed program instead in hopes of...

  16. UVM MEPN 2011

    StarofLifeRN replied to vls09's topic in General Nursing

    Congrats on getting that far! What's interesting is that they told me emails had already gone out, but you didn't get one about your status until you sent an inquiry yesterday. It's so strange that...

  17. UVM MEPN 2011

    StarofLifeRN replied to vls09's topic in General Nursing

    So the message I got back from UVM is not encouraging: "Acceptance and wait-list letters have been sent via email already. Denial letters, if they have not been sent already, will be sent sometime...

    StarofLifeRN replied to vls09's topic in General Nursing

    I just sent them an email. I'll post when I hear

  19. UVM MEPN 2011

    StarofLifeRN replied to vls09's topic in General Nursing

    The suspense is driving me crazy! My family has a pact not to let me know if an envelope arrives until after I get home from work. Apparently they are afraid I'll ask them to open it and potentially...

  20. Oh Crap I Just Lied On My Application

    StarofLifeRN replied to RNPleaseHelp's topic in General Nursing

    Some schools show a status of academically dismissed on the transcript. Another clue is the # of credits completed compared to the GPA. (The threshold to dismiss varies by institution.) If there are a...

  21. Oh Crap I Just Lied On My Application

    StarofLifeRN replied to RNPleaseHelp's topic in General Nursing

    Just a quick update... I looked at the nursing common app and they do say list ALL prior academic history regardless of relevance. If that is the case for the RN-BSN program the OP is applying to,...

  22. Oh Crap I Just Lied On My Application

    StarofLifeRN replied to RNPleaseHelp's topic in General Nursing

    That is true, but there are circumstances where you don't have to disclose prior academic history. For example: University A - student attends for X amount of time, earns a poor GPA, and never...

  23. Oh Crap I Just Lied On My Application

    StarofLifeRN replied to RNPleaseHelp's topic in General Nursing

    Academic fresh starts (we call it academic forgiveness) is usually used when someone reapplies to an institution they previously attended. It's great for people returning to college after some time...

  24. Oh Crap I Just Lied On My Application

    StarofLifeRN replied to RNPleaseHelp's topic in General Nursing

    I'd be curious to know the exact wording of the question you responded no to. While it's true that your GPA follows you for the rest of your life, a GPA is associated with the college in which the...

    StarofLifeRN replied to vls09's topic in General Nursing

    Nothing here, either. No news isn't bad news, so at least we have that going for us right
