I've been an RN for about a year and a half most recently working in an ER. Oncology Nursing is the reason I went into nursing and recently I scored my dream job in an outpatient setting. However, I'm completely overwhelmed with all new medications...

Hey I haven't heard anything either so you're not alone. I also received the same response when calling so I guess we just have to wait and see unfortunately.

I do have a couple left. However, we might be putting something together during your orientation so whoever missed the last one can get what they need. I've been in contact with a few of your classmates and they will post to your fb group page when...

Having the older editions is not detrimental, but can be a pain if a professor references a box or chart from a particular page in the new edition. In that case you could always just take a picture of it from someone else's book or from the book in...

What kind of shoes do they consider approved? I've been looking online and all I see are nursing shoes for women. Do you know where I can find men's approved shoes?

That's a big jump in numbers, but I'm sure that the number of people applying increased as well so its par for the course. How did you go about buying books? Did you rent or buy new? Are books available to be purchased from students in previous cl...

Thanks for all of the info ynabeana! Just wondering if you commute or live on campus? I'll be commuting from NJ so I wanted to know how some of the commuter students are handling the schedule. Also there are two dates for the mini orientation and ...

I received a letter in the mail today with specific dates for the orientation in June. You should be receiving the information soon.

Thanks again for all of the info you gave. I just received my acceptance letter yesterday so I definitely have some decisions to make. That being said, I do have a few more questions if you don't mind. 1.) How did you find the financial aid situa...

Hi Miguel, Thank you for the info. Waiting is definitely the worst part, but hopefully we'll find out soon like you said. I don't have any specific questions regarding the program, but if you can give us an overview as to what you think are the pos...

Yeah I thought it seemed like a good program as well and my interview went well. My interviewer gave me a small tour of the labs and equipment that is used. The campus is really nice and I was impressed overall, but the commute is going to be a pai...

Don't be discouraged at all. That gpa should help you get into a lot of programs. Where else did you apply to? As for me, I have a 3.4 gpa and a BS in Biology and got into Concordia College. I'm still waiting on some other schools including UMDNJ...

piscesgrl I got a letter from Caldwell today and unfortunately I was placed on the waiting list. I guess we'll see what happens, but I'm not terribly worried since I've already been accepted elsewhere. Good luck!

Just wondering how your interview went? What did you think about the program and the school overall?

Andi thank you for your reply. My pre-reqs are all done as I am graduating with a degree in Biology and applied to the fast track program at Caldwell. I hope everything runs smoothly for you as you enter your clinicals. Has anyone heard from Caldw...

Hey Steph, I applied for the accelerated program and had an interview last week. I still haven't received any notice of acceptance/rejection, but it is common for the decision to take a while. If I've learned anything from this entire process, it's...

Where else have you applied? Are you in North Jersey also?

Hey I had my interview yesterday and I think it went pretty well. It was pretty laid back and I just had to talk a little about myself and answer a few of the usual questions (why do you want to be a nurse, how do you view nurses, how do you think n...

Thanks Suzi. Hopefully someone starts a fb page for our class like they did for the 2010 class.

Hey thanks for the kind words. I should have posted this last week, but I spoke with the Director of Admissions and they made an error. Apparently they filter out applications in the Admissions dept. and then send out either rejection letters or fo...

I'm a 30 year old male. Are you guys going to be commuting? I'm coming from North Jersey.

Hey Suzi you were right! I got my acceptance letter today and so happy. I'm still waiting to hear from other schools so I will make my decision then, but Concordia is definitely high on the list. The campus looks really nice and the commute there ...

Oh ok that makes me feel better. I live in North Jersey so hopefully thats why it'll take an extra day. BTW what time was your interview? I was there for 11 and wrote my essay first before the interview. I was pretty surprised to be one of 4 guys...

My interview is tomorrow. I tried to find some information on how the interview is at Wagner, but have come up empty. When is your interview?

Congratulations Suzi. I still haven't received anything, but I'm hoping that I will soon.
