Just checked on Firefox as my Internet Explorer wasn't loading the Portal... found out online I got into USM for their ABSN program that would start this summer! Anyone else hear some good news? :) At least now I know I'm going SOMEWHERE for nursing!

Hey y'all...I am currently an ABSN student. So if y'all have any questions, let me know! I'll keep checking back. I know the wait is hard (it was torture for me) however just from skimming this thread, if you're on the wait list and VCU is your dream...

Good luck y'all. I remember waiting, but loving seeing that big envelope in the mail!

Ok to answer the best I can all the questions I saw... Don't worry about being an "old dog" and what you did in the past DOES matter I think... the program likes to create a diverse group. While yes, a lot of the group is in their 20s, there are quit...

Keep asking any questions you have :) I'll keep checking back to answer (hence why I looked for this thread in the first place). I don't think the GPA is the hugest of factors, because lets be real, my degree(s) from before were kind of.... easy degr...

Thanks! I'd love to be a resource for you guys, as I know how STARVED I was for information when I was applying. I commuted from Northern Virginia almost an hour and a half to my job every day in another state just to get in state tuition, because I ...

Hey y'all --- I'm currently in the ABSN program (and am semi-familiar I suppose) with the AMSN program at VCU and I was in the same position you were in last year. Any questions, feel free to ask! Good luck, NoleMercy

Hi everyone, I am starting an accelerated BSN program this summer, and just registered and got my first choice clinical for this summer, which will place me in the Oncology unit! I am super excited for it... and wanted to try this particular section ...

My friend said when he called the nursing school they were mailing them out today :) good luck y'all!

MM, They have the size chart on the website, so if you could get someone to measure you, that should work. I had my roommate measure me, then I ordered one set based on that. I can let you know on the visit day if the sizes actually correlate if you ...

sbl -- I called the bookstore, and they said if you ordered it when the website said Navy, they would be "fixing" it -- and not to pick them up until you receive the second email. :)

i already got the navy blue ones!!!!

Well worst case scenario... you accept, hear from Cal State and go there and you're just out of the deposit money.... but VCU is great (their program anyways) from what I hear. MCV is a great hospital system also as far as I know. Plus so far all the...

Christina, What schools are you waiting on? any way you could call them and explain your situation and see if they can give you any more information? Where does VCU fall on your "want to go" list? Nole

just PM-ed you Burns7 :)

Just messaged you both with my name, so hopefully I can send it through there. It wouldn't let me send a link via PM for some reason.... weird. Also I don't know why the group isn't showing up since it's an open group.

Yes! It's called VCU ABSN Class of 2012 :)

I created a facebook group for those of us planning on going to VCU. It's titled: VCU ABSN Class of 2012 for any of you that would like to join that are planning on coming to VCU :) Love to see you all on there!

When I looked online it looked like navy blue. But I think they differentiate by graduating year. When I pulled down to 2012 graduation date, navy was the color option.

I'm going March 11th. I'm excited too :) got to now coordinate everything and get my ducks in a row. Had to email a syllabus today, to see if a class qualifies. It should... But of course another thing to wait on I don't know what it means if it doe...

I got in! :) :) :) Yayyyyyy!

SBL, Same here -- VCU and Duke were tied. Initially I was hoping I wouldn't get into one so my decision would be made easier for me... but I also didn't get an interview. It was NOT a good day, that's for sure. I had a 3.69 in undergrad and a 3.8 in ...

Congrats SBL!!! I'm so happy for you. Was it your first choice? Can I ask what your grades and the like (volunteer work/medical experience) was? I'm getting so nervous.... VCU is my top choice... Hopefully I'll see you there in may!

nope... no clue. hopefully they did! I call this "early February" yeah?

as of today, they said they think the letters should be getting mailed out tomorrow...
