hmm. I dont think I have either. I do know its an all day event with a short interview somewhere in there.

you know i ended up withdrawing from the class before it began to focus on my online biochem through Univ of Wisconsin. I did manage to get my paws on the syllabus and see that the course is using a classic text "pathophysiology:the biologic basis for disease in adults and children". I already owned this book from when I took this course years ago so I feel that i could do well as I am familiar with the text. thats my 2 cents.

I am sorry to hear. hope everything work out for you.

Skip. It sounds like you went through a lot with that program. I am sorry to hear that you did not finish? If you don't mind me asking what do you think contributed to you not finishing? Thanks for your insight.

maybe if you post also in the military nursing section. best of luck.

i just have to post an update here. I was rejected outright from St. Mary's this April but enthusiastically invited for interviews at Duke and Samuel Merritt, schools ranked higher. I still am scratching my head at this one.... I asked the St. Marys director why I wasnt invited and it seemed like she was stuck on some withdrawn course from 10 years ago and didn't like that my science was taken at a community college. BTW, community colleges in CA are viewed as direct equivalency to UC courses where I live. This seems like rather old fashioned thinking to me. But everyone has their own process and I respect her decision. In the long run the program wasnt for me. Hope everyone's admissions process is going well! just thought I'd share my exp. and give hope to other people who got rejected from St. Mary's. :redbeathe

interviewing in july! woot woot!

u of wyoming has an online pathophysiology course too. looks not too bad. am going to take this summer.

sorry for the earlier negative. everyone best of luck in your interviews. hope st. mary's is awesome for everyone.

kukana;;;; gee shucks! thank you. this process has been nerve wracking. years of giving up so many things to pursue this. i have put off getting married, vacations, having children all that stuff just for this. i also applied to duke, univ of miami (for next year), albany medical college and now I am adding samuel merritt. good luck everyone.

Umm. dude where have you been that last few months. maybe you should have spoken up instead of lurching. The recent people on this forum have not heard positive things from this school..... but anyways best of luck to you.

I am so happy to hear that. I am applying there next year! I knew one of would get accepted. I am still waiting for my other application deadlines to pass and hear from my other schools! Wish you the best.

i cant believe we all got rejected. not one of us invited. definitely one of us will be accepted elsewhere. Good luck everyone. Will post here with updates!

I know this post was several years ago but I want to tell you that as a new grad in the ICU in 2008 I made 99,000 in the bay area. the next year in the icu I made 128,000 working OT maybe once a month. So actually your numbers are way off.

Hey dont feel bad. i got mine too. Minnesota is too cold anyway!! Forget that place. i have CCRN, TNCC, nearly four years critical care experience and i graduated magna cum laude from nursing school... and rejected. some people will just not accept you no matter how hard you try. I have to believe this wasn't about me at all but some intangible quality there are looking for that I can't meet and it will suite me best to move on rather than waste anymore time. I do think my essay was weak and i have a prior degree in anthropology( i have a BA in anthropology and BSN in nursing) which as a catholic university might not be that appealing. I also had a 3.2 in my first degree with some holes in it. The advice I would give myself is to take some higher level:nurse: science courses and apply again. But by the time I finish all of those fluff courses to make myself look good for applying, I could have just completed all my premed courses..which I am seriously considering at this point. AFter being in nursing for almost four years I see not only how badly nurses are treated by other people but worse how badly nurses treat each other and I think i have had enough. I will wait to see the results of the rest of my applications and re-evaluate. I consider this to be a blessing disguise. DON"T feel bad.
