Do you think someone with a low GPA (3.1) has a chance of getting it?

Did anyone here apply for the loan forgiveness program? Has anyone heard back yet? I am anxiously awaiting to hear something!!!

Do you guys think I have a chance even though my EFC is NOT 0? I applied but I feel like I don't. :/

Dear fellow allnurses, I am sure this has been addressed many times before, but I wanted to start a new thread in hopes of finding some current/new information regarding whether to get an ADN or BSN in Illinois, specifically in the Chicago land area....

Hello, I was wondering if anyone on here is interested in or knows someone who is interested in switching from the daytime program to the evening/weekend program. I had some issues with the enrollment form and by the time I submitted it the daytime p...

Thanks for your advice! I was accepted to Loyola's ABSN program and am thinking of going there or taking the ADN route at a community college. If you don't mind me asking, did you pay for the whole program through loans? I know they offer "limited" s...

Bump. Any others in similar situations or who can offer their 2 cents? I have a friend who has her BSN and works at MacNeal hospital. She says they always hire new grads but not sure if that includes ADN. I've looked at job postings for different ...

Wife: Oh wow, look at those nurses! Husband: I always knew it took something special to be a nurse, but this is something else! Wife: I know, these are lean mean green machines! It seems like they're a whole other species! Husband: They've evolved t...

Steph, Which school has this option you are talking about? Thanks for all the great advice. I guess my main concern is finding a job in Chicago with an ADN. Many people make it seem like it is impossible. Another pro of taking the ADN route is t...

Question 7 talks about the due date. This is so frustrating. Frequently Asked Questions Question 1: What type of CPR card do I need? A CPR card from the American Heart Association or from the Red Cross? Answer: Either card is acceptable...

I plan on getting my BSN eventually if I take the ADN route. So you think it would be better to just go for my BSN even with the high cost? I really wouldn't mind working in LTC or home care starting off as a new grad since it seems most hospitals pr...

So now it is back to everything being due on June 15?? I thought it was changed to July 1 like the FAQ email stated??

Thanks for both of your comments! Are you both nurses? Which route did you take? Jasel, you are right, there are many RN to BSN completion programs but I just want the fastest and least expensive route, but having both is impossible ha. I agree that...

Hey everyone, I am new to the boards and have not found my answers in other threads so I decided to start my own. I am currently completing my pre-req's at a community college (chemistry, anatomy I & II, microbiology) to apply to nursing school a...

Welcome! I'm also planning to apply for Fall 2012, still undecided on whether I want to do the full time or part time program. I am taking my pre-req's at the city colleges too, I need 2 more, Anatomy II and Microbiology. It is possible to apply whi...

Hi Adek and Iyoka, I am planning to apply to the Wright LPN program. Would you guys be able to answer a few questions for me? I've been trying to call them but no answer. Do all the pre-requisite courses have to be completed by the application deadli...

I was curious, for those of you who are in an accelerated BSN or associates program here in Illinois, what was your cumulative GPA and science GPA? I am very nervous about applying (I still have a year of pre-reqs to complete) since I have a low cum...

Hi dsignrgrl, Thanks for the advice and encouragement! If you don't mind me asking, what were the programs you applied to? Also, how did you do on your science pre-req's? Some of the schools I want to apply to don't require an entrance exam. What sch...

Thanks! Have you applied there?

Was he referring to the Graduate Entry Program when he said that? If he was, that sounds extremely competitive! However, my undergrad counselor once told me that if I really wanted to do nursing, the GEP program was a bit less competitive than the tr...

Congrats!! I am interested in both programs but am still fulfilling the requirements. If you don't mind, what were your science and overall GPA's? I am nervous because I have a not so great GPA for my undergrad (2.9) but have been doing very well in ...

Thanks for your advice!!

Congrats & Good luck!

Congratulations!!!!!! How was the program?

Hey Audrey, I am new here and am in a similar situation as you! Where are you planning to apply? Great replies to your post so far. Thanks all!
