  1. SO.....today, I checked the mail...again

    jocy_anne replied to trb76's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    @trb76 Haha I remember reading other people's posts and being jealous too! I can't wait to get started! And I read my acceptance e-mail a million times, too...it's been a month and I still read it...

  2. Things you would love to say to your fellow nursing students!

    jocy_anne replied to Faeriewand's topic in General Students

    Wow, this sounds exactly like a girl I had in my A&P II class last semester! She would come in with a new petition for everyone to sign every week to try and get our professor fired because he was...

  5. If I could go back to when I started college, I would have choosen nursing.

    jocy_anne replied to MissNancy's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have to agree with everyone else on here and say that it is never too late, especially when you're 19! I am 28 and was just accepted to an accelerated BSN-MSN program that I will start in...

  6. Low gpa with a BS in bio, what to do?

    jocy_anne replied to Murse622's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you're really passionate about Nursing, then I say go for it. Yes, the amount of time it can take isn't always ideal, but, in my opinion, the wait is worth it. If you're considering NP or CRNA,...

  7. A Few of my Favorite Things about Nursing School

    jocy_anne replied to KatePasa's topic in General Students

    Thank you for your positive and encouraging post! I'm about to start an accelerated BSN-MSN program in September and am so scared that I'm not going to do well. I see and hear so many negative...

  8. Second Degree Option

    jocy_anne replied to LPNDreams's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Personally, I see nothing wrong with that plan. However, I am about to enter an Accelerated BSN-MSN program in September, so maybe I'm a bit biased. I think it depends on how dedicated you are....

  9. Quitting full-time job for nursing school

    jocy_anne replied to snow_bear's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I know how you're feeling. I will be leaving my full-time job of 6 years in late July or early August in order to start a full-time accelerated BSN-MSN program, and I'm terrified about how I'm going...

    jocy_anne replied to Jennifer425RN2B's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yay, that sounds great! See, everything happens for a reason! :) Keep us posted and I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you,

  11. Jefferson 2012 APW Program

    jocy_anne replied to PITTgal's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Yay, I added you! We now have 4 people in the group, woohoo! Lol. There is definitely a lot to get done, but once you start everything, it goes pretty quickly. I was accepted less than 3 weeks ago...

  12. I'm not getting in :(

    jocy_anne replied to Jennifer425RN2B's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    That's a good idea. Jennifer, have you thought about checking out different counties in NJ, too? I know it's hard, though, because every school has different requirements. I'm glad that you're...

  13. I'm not getting in :(

    jocy_anne replied to Jennifer425RN2B's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    That is CRAZY! I can't imagine having to wait that long to get into a program! I do remember seeing on another thread that you were recently accepted into another program, so congratulations!!!

  14. I'm not getting in :(

    jocy_anne replied to Jennifer425RN2B's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yeah, here in NJ the wait time for Associate's programs are INSANELY long, as I'm sure is the case in a few areas around the country. The one at my CC makes you apply 18 months in advance, and that...

  15. Jefferson 2012 APW Program

    jocy_anne replied to Jennifer425RN2B's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    So sorry to hear that, Jennifer! There is a very good chance you'll get in next time, though, since they made it up to May 2011!!! NicholePC13 & PrayToTheUnicorn, I think what she means by "date...

  18. Who all is waiting to apply/hear back for Fall 2012?

    jocy_anne replied to CRNBSN18's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    WorkingTowardsBSN, the same thing happened to me! I submitted my application in September and didn't get invited for an interview until March 23rd. I had my interview on March 29th and received my...

  19. Pre req Tuition

    jocy_anne replied to St07fwd's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Unfortunately I've had to rely on credit cards to pay for my prereqs...it's not the best way, but that was the only way I could do it. Especially when it came to the summer classes...my community...

  20. Fall 2012 new nursing students roll call!!!

    jocy_anne replied to ixchel's topic in General Students

  21. Jefferson 2012 APW Program

    jocy_anne replied to PITTgal's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Hi Tinana! I had my interview a couple weeks ago, and I was sooooo nervous before I went in. The second I sat down, though, the interview was really more like a conversation and that really helped to...

  22. my fellow pre-req students

    jocy_anne replied to GodsSon128's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    jocy_anne replied to LifeIsGood76's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hi there! I am definitely in the same boat! I'm 28 and will be starting an accelerated BSN-MSN program in September. I have been working full-time for the last 6 years (got my first Bachelor's in...

  24. What classes are you taking in the Fall 2012?

    jocy_anne replied to havehope's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I can't believe that I can actually write this now, but I will be starting my Nursing courses in the Fall!!! :w00t: It's still a bit surreal for me! In the meantime, I'm still finishing up Gen Chem...

  25. How competitive is it "really" to get into a Accelerated BSN?

    jocy_anne replied to whattodo4's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I agree with Miiki, it will probably depend on what area of the country you're in. I'm in NJ, so I think it's pretty competitive around here. Luckily, I was just accepted into an Accelerated BSN-MSN...
