Thank you very much for being so thorough; it was extremely helpful!

Hey! I was thinking about applying for the ANCP. I spoke to a recruiter who literally said, "you are going to hate yourself after going through the application process;" Implying that it is a brutal process. I didn't ask too many questions regarding the process because I hadn't been accepted to a nursing program at the time. I was just wondering what the process entails... Any bit of information would be great! Thanks!

I hope you're right, jt43! You make a lot of great points:) I'm betting since you haven't gotten anything yet, you're getting a big envelope. My fingers are crossed for you!!!

Just found out I'm wait listed. And totally bummed. Anybody have anything inspiring to tell me about the waiting list process?

Haha, tuition for me will be way more than the numbers up there since I'm an out-of-stater... Maybe that will make me more appealing since they will get more money from me hahaha... But I hope that rumor is right about applicants being down!

HOLY COW... do they really get 1500 applicants for the ABSN program alone? I was looking online to see what the acceptance rate is to the school of nursing, particularly the accelerated program, but to no avail. I live in Illinois, so I probably won't be one of the first people to hear a verdict! I looked at my application page, and everything is the same. It says "Current Program: Bachelor of Science." But it has said that since I completed the application back in September. The thing that makes me most nervous is that I have yet to finish two of the prerequisite courses: A&P part II and Microbiology. I will be done with them by the start of May, but I would hate to be overlooked for not having them done prior to applying. They said they just have to be done by enrollment time... so I'm banking on that! Anyway, I love reading people's thoughts on here, as I can see they are completely in the same boat as me (and you)! It's nice to talk to someone other than my boyfriend about it who simply replies "Oh you'll get in." When really he has no idea how tough it is!!! Anyway.. good luck to you! Stay in touch :)

Kellyski, I am waiting for the ABSN program, too! I have been a silent observer for a while now. You're not alone! I am dying to find out!!!
