I just got my acceptance email! Hope everyone else's is on the way too!

Thanks for calling!

Hi! I applied to the psych-mental health MSN. Which specialty did you apply to? And congratulations, ShyButNotReallyRN, BSN, RN!

Inquiring minds are dying to know, to what program did you apply? I haven't received anything yet. Fingers crossed for us all.

Has anyone received word on admission to UNC-Chapel Hill's MSN programs for Fall 2015? I understand notifications may not be made until May, but I would love to hear from anyone who has heard anything at all. This wait seems like it will never end. T...

I just checked the mail. Waitlisted. Came in a medium-sized letter. Still no email or change to my app.applyourself.com account, however. I'm trying to stay positive that a spot will open up for me. Good luck, everyone!

Glad to know I'm not the only one! Hope you hear something good soon.

Has anyone else heard?

Congratulations!

I'm very sorry, Csniffor. I hope there is a silver lining somewhere in this for you.

Psych NP applicant here. I haven't heard anything. Congratulations healtheworld!

Congratulations! Were you accepted into the MSN or the DNP program? Do you remember what email address sent the notification? (I keep checking my spam folder daily for fear the notification will be routed there incorrectly.)

I haven't heard anything. Fingers crossed!

Thank you, CCuser!

Hi CCuser, did they have more than 400 applicants for all the MSN specialties combined, or more than 400 applicants for psych MSN? I applied to the MSN PMHNP program and still have my fingers crossed. Good luck with USA. I'm sorry UNC didn't work ou...

Like the others, I applied to UNC-CH, just not that particular program. I'm hoping to gain admission to the PMHNP program. Did you guys notice that the school's website now indicates that admission decisions will be delayed due to the "large volume" ...

At Forsyth in Winston-Salem, new grads (regardless of ADN or BSN) get $21.50 plus $4 nights. Weekend pay is an extra $1.25 or $1.50 (can't remember).

Thanks! If you go to a state school, you can buy student health insurance. It's about $700 a semester for one person -- I'm not sure what it costs for and adult and child. Your employer-based insurance is probably cheaper, however. Good luck in whate...

Hi Dani2389, I finish WSSU's ABSN program tomorrow. I also spent one semester in Forsyth Tech's ADN program while I waited to hear if I was accepted into WSSU. The ABSN was definitely right for me -- I can't imagine spending any more time in nursing ...

We have to wear white shoes for clinicals. Many of us wear the typical nursing brands (Danskos and such), but some of us wore white sneakers. They need to be impervious (no Crocs with holes). Hope this helps some!

Hi everyone ... I just received a much-wanted job offer but have nothing in writing. The nurse manager and I shook on it, and she advised me that HR would be in touch next week. When next week came, I didn't hear anything so I contacted the nurse ma...

Thanks for your advice, llg and Nurse2bKimberly. I really appreciate your responses. I'm going to keep my fingers crossed about this job but keep looking. I really, really want this position, but I don't want to find myself heartbroken and unemployed...

For the first few months, you're in class four days a week. Once you're finished with the intro courses, you typically have two days in the classroom and two days in clinical. Schedules can vary (in a recent peds class some students had only one day ...

I'm a current ABSN student. I know at least one student who doesn't have a car. I think it would probably be workable -- clinicals are generally at Baptist or Forsyth, which are both in town. However, the sites used in community nursing can be all ov...

I'm still PRN as a CNA at a local hospital, but I haven't pulled any shifts since starting school. I'm not sure how it will change as the program progresses, but we're told we generally won't have more than two days of clinical each week. Right now I...
