I recently finished my application "journey" and have a few things I would like to share to those who are prospective DE applicants. Though I applied to nine schools, I ultimately was only offered admission to three. I originally applied to the Unive...

CN4207, I have a similar experience to you--my undergrad was also in music. I did have a good GPA coming out of undergrad which differs from you, but I made good grades on my prereqs and a decent GRE score (I don't even remember what the score was). ...

Thank you for the good tips! I am planning to buy the Leik book. Any other texts or classes anyone would recommend?

Is anyone looking at University of Hawaii's MEPN program for Fall 2012? I'm originally from Honolulu and would LOVE to go back and do this program. Especially since I would pay in-state tuition! :) I've looked over the lengthy forum about the program...

FYI for everyone else, I responded to this in a PM. I can't put my blog link on the forums directly. If anyone else wants it, PM me! :)

Well, I have done everything that I can so far. Obviously we can't upload our RN licenses because we don't have them yet, and I am taking CPR at Marquette. I would just get everything else done before you get to school.

Congrats to those who were accepted! It must have been a very competitive group this year. I was surprised that I wasn't accepted, since UH is ranked #99 for nursing, and I was accepted to three other schools that were ranked much higher than that (a...

Lizzy, Other than UH, I applied to Marquette, Boston College, MGH Institute, Simmons, Penn, Yale, Seattle University, and the University of Southern Maine. I got in to Boston College, MGH, Simmons, and Marquette, and was rejected from the others. I a...

Hi,Yes, I applied regular decision. No, there is no interview. I spoke to someone on the phone today and she said they were planning to send out the rest of the letters next week. There was something weird that happened with my application and so I k...

I'm really frustrated by UH. I really wanted to go there, but I have had three other schools require deposits already. I guess it's always a gamble, but I had to put down a deposit at Marquette. At this point I won't be going to UH even if I get in. ...

Yes, I heard today that I was accepted. I won't be going though, I have already accepted Marquette's offer. Good luck to you who are waiting!

I already got my info packet and yes, it does give info on registration and stuff. One thing you can get started on is compiling your shot records. I had to look up my pediatrician that I haven't seen in 12 years to get proof that I had chicken pox a...

I would have been looking for something cheaper too, but I have a built-in roommate (boyfriend). :)

I rented a one bedroom on the east side for a little under $800/month. Parking costs extra though ($50-100). There were one bedrooms near campus for that price or cheaper, but the area was really sketchy. There is this annoying rent assistance progra...

check around on past forums. there is a lot of info on this site. and look back to page 12 of this thread. :)

They don't offer the MSN courses in the summer. http://www.marquette.edu/nursing/documents/MSN-AcuteCare-NP.pdf Notice that all of the courses are Fall or Spring. So if you only took 6 credits each semester, it would take you 7 semesters (3 1/2 yea...

hi uwbadger, this is what the graduate programs coordinator had to say: students already in the program will be grandfathered, but if you choose to you will be able to continue on to receive the dnp or phd.

There have been a bunch of threads on this topic, and lots of articles online about it. Here is the link to one: https://allnurses.com/general-nursing-discussion/what-will-happened-485555-page2.html. Of course, everything is speculative. Basically, i...

Yes, the deposits are due today.

I have heard back from some schools. Penn was my first choice and I was rejected, but I got into Marquette, which was one of my top choices. I put in my deposit there already. :)

Gglove, I'm sorry you weren't accepted, but you have to remember that there are lots of qualified applicants for these programs. If you weren't accepted this year, you can always try to improve your application and try again next year!

Hi all,I went to visit the campus this weekend. The campus was lovely, though I didn't think the nursing building was anything too spectacular. They are renovating part of the building though, so some of our classes will be in a neighboring building ...

I applied for FNP and haven't heard anything yet. I was kind of on the fence between Seattle and Marquette. However, I was accepted to Marquette for acute care and they want a deposit by Feb 28th, so I guess I'm going there!

This was in an email sent to all accepted students: Please be sure that you understand the direct entry program.* The pre-licensure phase of the program is completed in 15-months (May 29th, 2012-August, 2013), after which you will take the NCLEX exam...

23 in June! Looks like I'm the youngin of the group!
