Has anyone else applied? What do you feel your prospects are of getting in? Did you take any foreign languages to plump up your supplemental criteria score?

I got the scholarship last year... If anyone needs someone to "proof" their essays and would feel comfortable with it, let me know.

Definitely save monthly payments toward taxes! Luckily, my first year in out of a 3 year program, FAFSA picked up the majority of tuition....otherwise my tax bill would have been larger. FAFSA only pays taxes on your behalf for the monthly stipend, b...

I think those were the same exact ones from last year! Good luck, guys!

Sorry, not a letter.... but in one of the essays (extremely tired from an all night study session). I can't remember what our three essays were about when I applied, but in one of them (I think it was something about "How would you sacrifice to ensur...

In your letter to the scholarship, I would definitely point out that your grades have improved since you have been back and point out why (not as responsible before, etc.)....my grades improved substantially 12 years after the first time I tried goin...

I think (check to be sure!) that last year you were ineligible if you already had a bachelors degree... but again, check to be sure! Good luck to everyone!

I think the only thing that "bad credit" refers to is any defaulted federal school loans, or anything else federal related to education that you may have had to pay back for some reason. I had 100k or so in bankruptcy due to having had cancer and my ...

The BSN program was definitely my first choice, but the school I am going to was not. Whatever you choose, make sure you choose the right school! I got into my first choice, but didn't think I would be able to afford the move (6 hours away), so decid...

Good luck, bless!

I believe March 1st....

I'm not sure if they do or not, to be honest, but it would make a degree of sense if they do. I think, more than anything, they just want to see that you are committed to serving the underserved... Any volunteer experience demonstrating that is going...

You're welcome. Good luck!

I don't remember when the applications become open, but you can sign up for an email reminder here: https://public.govdelivery.com/accounts/USHHSHRSA/subscriber/new?topic_id=USHHSHRSA_22 They definitely take ADN students. Be sure to get your non-acad...

Hi everyone: I got the scholarship this past August...Let me know about any questions you have. GPA: 3.9, 2.5 years of HIV education and prevention volunteer work, etc. I definitely think they look at GPA...if they didn't, they wouldn't ask. They a...

Oaktown: Not sure where the clinical locations are located for Sac State, actually. THAT is something to consider! I totally agree with you about the course issue at CSUCI. If I do choose to go there, then it would mean an easy repeat since I have al...

Oaktown: I live in Ventura County, but fell in love with Sac State when I toured the campus and city. The other school I applied to was CSUCI, which is located in Ventura County. I have to weigh the pros and cons of going to each school. CSUCI is a 3...

Got in! WooHoo! Now I just have to decide if I want to go there, or the other program I was accepted into. Hmmm!

I haven't heard, actually. I was told that you can go in to see how many points you have and see where you were on the list. If you live close enough, it might be a good idea to see.

I will keep my fingers crossed, Claudia!

Just got my acceptance into the program. HELL yah!

I hope so... If you know your points, it isn't hard to figure based on historical point cut-offs, etc. But, I would much rather have the piece of paper in hand! I went to an informational meeting about 2 or 3 weeks ago and ---- (the program director)...

I have 80 points for them: 4.0 nursing GPA, 86.9 TEAS, CNA hours, 6 of the supplemental/extra points, etc. Good luck, guys!

Yikes... I'm glad I decided to take that Spanish 3 course last semester! That bumped me from 35 points to 41. I had a feeling it was going to become more competitive given the economy and everyone returning to school, but daaaaaaaaaaang!

It's definitely competitive... If you haven't been to an informational meeting, check one out. If you have Microsoft Powerpoint you can view exactly what they talk about/show you during a meeting by clicking on the appropriate link on this page: http...
