I was accepted into the FNP program at University of South Carolina for this Fall 2017!! Anyone else? Orientation is later this month.

I just got accepted into their FNP program for this Fall 2017. I graduated with my BSN in December 2016 with honors and a 3.8 gpa. I also have been working for 3 years on a pulmonary progressive care floor at a major hospital in my area.

I got into the FNP program for USC Columbia or fall of 2017. Anyone else?

Thank you! Anyone else, please share what you put on your app that helped you get accepted? Also, those that got financial aid please tell me what form of aid it was and amounts if you don't mind please? It's expensive but it's a #1 program and conve...

For those that have gotten in, may I ask what kind of certifications, degrees, leadership experience, volunteer work, committees, etc. that you included on your application that may have helped you get in? Thanks.

Nalon, where do you work and live that you're so close? Thanks.

I am no expert, as I am just starting my nursing education, but I believe getting your BSN, if you do not have any nursing education, is the best way to get accepted into an NP program. If you already have a bachelor's degree in something then you m...

I took mine today and the for the past few days I have done nothing but answer NCLEX style practice questions. I made a 94!!!

Mission is a great hospital with an awesome heart department, one of the best. I was a heart patient there almost 6 years ago and was very impressed with the nurses and doctors there. I am a first year nursing student and may work there some day. ...

I am also doing extremely well in Nursing school. Better than I thought after hearing all the stories! I do not tell but only a select few my grades but most of my classmates know I am doing well. So far there has not been any drama and no one see...

I got accepted into two school's programs, I am proud to say! I am choosing the one that is closer to my home as I am not working and my husband is also going to school (the same school I chose) and we have four kids. Plus football season will be s...

I got into AB Tech and then recently found out I was also accepted to Blue Ridge Comm College so now I have a decision to make! These schools are in NC.

I got my acceptance letter today!!!! I am so excited, I start in August. What a sigh of relief! Congrats to all who got in!!:w00t:

I agree to check with your state laws. Also, my state has a program where they offer pretty good health ins for people that cannot get insured elsewhere, rates are pretty reasonable. I have a history of CHF and I am in my early 30's (it has been un...

Mattmrn, I also live in NC and that is my exact plan too. A cc is so much cheaper for the basics and I plan to work on my transfer courses for my BSN there too. Then I will do the RN to BSN all online. I will then go on to get my MSN for FNP. I a...

I used to be a bank manager, they do not make a lot of money. Nurses can make more. If you make sacrfices, you choose to make them, no one forces you. In the end, some sacrifices are worth it. And not everyone can do it, make sure you have no reg...

Can anyone share with me where in Western NC is an ideal testing site for the state test? Maybe somewhere that is not so strict or that does not make someone feel like a nervous wreck. I am doing very well in class and have a lot of potential (my i...

I plan to do the RN to BSN at WCU, right now I am just trying to get into the Nursing program at AB tech. Thanks for sharing that you had a great experience!
