KatStat BSN, MSN, RN

Most interviewers ask behavioral questions - in other words, "tell me about a time when..." You can answer those with scenarios from clinical experience, from volunteering somewhere, pre-nursing jobs, from school projects - it doesn't all have to be ...

From personal experience, and from being a clinical instructor, I would encourage her to do an accelerated BSN program. She can probably complete the program faster than she'd be able to do the MSN. It will involve less debt, and she can always go b...

This is a great topic, and I love reading the answers in this thread! I've worked psych for about a year, plus I have ~6 years experience in med-surg, NICU, mother-baby, and home health. I've only been swung on / thrown things at on the ...

I got in! PMHNP post grad certificate. Fingers crossed for everyone else!!

Speaking from experience as a nursing leader in a hospital, hiring nurses: for a new grad nurse, there's no need to go beyond one page. More than a page for a new grad nurse would put me off, even if you're a second-career nurse. It gives the impre...

The next two weeks? The suspense is killing me!

I'm a current student in the accelerated program. It's intense, but it's well respected and the caliber of students is great. There are some organizational pitfalls, like it's hard to get information about what to expect for future semesters. I have ...

It seems way early to be posting this, but the application deadline actually isn't too far away. Is anyone else applying to KSU for spring 2013 admission? I've requested to be considered for the traditional and accelerated programs. Took the TEAS thi...

I'm the mom of 3, ages 4, 6, and 8. I'm in my last semester of prerequisites, and I've been accepted to an accelerated BSN program starting in January. First, let me say that this board has been really helpful to me. When I start my accelerated progr...

I just got my acceptance letter for the Accelerated program! :) In case you were wondering, my Degree Works has not changed. Good luck to everyone who is still waiting!

I didn't get anything in today's mail either. And my Owl Express hasn't changed. I have my fingers crossed for tomorrow!

I'd planned on wearing a skirt, but there was horrible rain Tuesday morning and I had to hike across campus from chemistry. I ended up wearing high-heeled boots, wool slacks and a cap-sleeve shirt, and was very comfortable. I have to say, having comf...

I just came from my interview. I think it went really well. I interviewed with 2 ladies, and both were super nice, easy to talk to. The person before me didn't show up for his interview, so that made me (selfishly) happy! It was those behavioral int...

How do you set up a mock interview?

I got my letter - and I got an interview for the accelerated program! Good luck to everyone else!

Congrats, trixjones... Mine still says the same thing as before - not selected. I'm not going to accept that as conclusive yet though. Still hoping that they just haven't changed all the stuff in the system, and the rest of us will get our good news ...

Hey y'all... as we're waiting to hear about interviews, we might as well start preparing as if we'll get the interview, right? I found this list of interview questions from another thread on this forum: --quoted from gtqueen371

Triciah, I had to switch to a different Chem lab. I have it Thursdays at 11 now. How is yours? I'm pretty happy with my schedule an profs. As for waiting 2-3 more weeks, eek! At least I'm busy with classes and trying to focus my attention there. I d...

Yes triciah2005, it's Kathy - I'll look for you! I'll be the old lady (mid-30s) with short red hair. :)

Tricia2005, I'll be in your chem lab! See you Wednesday.

I'm taking Chem1152 this fall too. I have Hassletine for lecture and Gaines for lab. And I agree with WhiteSnoopy - I only got in because I kept checking when drop/add started. If you're trying to get in, keep checking!

I emailed Fran this morning, hoping that maybe when Sandi said end of September she'd just slipped up a bit. Fran emailed back and said they'll send letters out by the end of August. Whew! One more month, folks!

If I remember correctly, it's 130 total spots and 40 of them are accelerated, the other 90 are traditional.

I talked to Sandi on Friday at orientation, and she said the interview letters might not go out till the end of September. The good news is, there are about 700 applicants for spring admission - 300 less than the number of fall applicants. And, th...

I feel your pain! I'm finish up my prereq's, and i've been working full-time the whole time, I have 3 kids ages 4-8, and my husband travels. Encouragement time: it is possible! If your priorities are straight, just keep putting one foot in front of t...
