WOW! That's great! Congrats OffMylawn. Are you male or female? Masters or BSN? EFC? GPA? And did you already get the earlier notification this summer? (only a million questions :)

....if someone backs out or doesn't qualify for the award, their slot opens up. I have no idea how many people got the "congratulations" letters (whose status also changed to "finalist"). Aug 31 was supposed to be the day final awardees are notified ...

Not a finalist but I still believe it will all work out. Sending good and positive vibes out to all "under review".

I had something posted before that I got from a reviewer that wasn't too positive even though mine says "under review" but I am just going to pretend I didn't read what he wrote and continue to have faith. It ain't over until He says so.

I know it's a bit of a wait but I would think you could expect to know as late as July 20th as to whether you got in or not.

Nevermind....specification wasn't required but encouraged....I guess if you had a built a life in a certain area and were hoping to stay. I'm a nomad.

Were we supposed to specify hospital region/state in our essays? I'm single, no kids. I can go anywhere so I didn't specify state or region, just type of facility and said I was open to others.

nope....apps been submitted.

thanks for the info....much appreciated.

here you go: Find Shortage Areas: HPSA by State & County

Go to the HRSA website www.hrsa.gov - they have some tools there that you can use to enter zip code data to find out the HPSA score of a facility. Facilities with a HPSA score 14 or higher have the greatest need (scale is 0-25). There is also another...

BSN46383 - Since this is anonymous, what region are you working in nationally (Northeast, Southeast, Midwest, Southwest, etc) and how much did they start you at per hour? $18/hr, $20/hr, $25/hr, $30/hr? Do tell.

I think after financial aid notifications are released, the decisions for provisional acceptance and waitlisters will come faster.

That is correct. I think I had $71,000 floating around in my head before until I realized the last 4th semester (school year 2014-2015) will likely cost $27k-$29k. And I cannot eat $500 in food a month. So yeah about $81k for the 1st three semesters ...

I completely agree. I am so nervous. My academic recommender turned my letter around in a matter of 2hrs! Makes me very wary about what the heck he wrote. He's the department chair and not one of my teachers. I feel like my teacher may have been bett...

The final bill for Duke's ABSN is about $109k....is that correct? I'm going to call tomorrow and confirm. I think I'm just noting that the $70,000 or $81,000 price tag only considers the terms F13, SPR14, SUM14...but graduation is FALL14, so there is...

That is correct. I also did not get anything about a deposit. I also haven't received the updated email with that "calculate approximate tuition" either. I did get the link to login in the certified background check but the code is invalid and I rece...

Wow! Interesting experience. Thanks for sharing dieselpuma. What about trying to take advantage of HRSA loan repayment or ease of applying and getting scholarships? How did they guide you all with the financial aid process? From my understanding, we'...

It's so hard to decide. I got accepted to Duke and to a state school out West. I want to go on to a graduate program after I complete the ABSN and the price tag between Duke and the state school for ABSN+Grad is massive. Duke = $127k and State+Local ...

What deposit???

What I want to know is if you accept and then due to health or financial reasons, are unable to attend and have to later reject, is there a penalty or penalty fee?

They might be waiting for the first wave of people who will reject the offer.

Thank you for the info thus far

I meant before you apply or after you graduate from KPSAN.

If you work for Kaiser before or after you apply, will they pay for school or do they have a tuition reimbursement program?
