I am a graduate of direct entry accelerated BSN/MSN program for non nurses. I came into the role of APN, specifically NP as a very green graduate. I did very well in my program, but am finding clinical practice as an APN to be quite challenging. Acad...

Just wanted to update, especially for those who found themselves in a similar situation...don't give up. As Kelly Clarkson's song goes, "what doesn't kill you makes you stronger." When everything first came up I was quite sad but then decided to reac...

Oops meant to reply to above post (error)

Thank you all for your feedback. I am definitely interested in residency programs and open to pursuing a specialty that would provide intensive training. I also like the idea of focusing my content development and becoming an expert in one area. The...

I am in peds, but open to exploring RN positions in the adult area as well.

Congrats to all! I am still waiting...credit check on 7/29 which resulted in a bit of a dive for my score ugh. Would be really awesome if it worked out. This is my second time applying first time was for 3 years BSN to NP, now just for the completion...

Nothing here yet (NP student) I am wondering if they only send emails out on Fridays? I looked through some past cycles and that seems to be common, the first Friday of August with one week to get all the finalist materials in. Just a theory though. ...

I applied as well, (NP student). My program is actually a DE program BSN to MSN (3 years but I am in the last year now), I finished the BSN in May and am already in the NP portion. I applied two cycles ago and didn't receive the scholarship, applied ...

I applied and this is the second time applying, first cycle was right before I started school and didn't get it then (had a much higher EFC and perhaps less relevant experience). My program is a direct entry BSN to MSN (previous degree in biology) GP...

Thanks for the responses! I have broadened my radius. Currently I have something in the works with an Adult NP. Although it isn't paid, I am excited for the learning experience. I guess the take home message from this is apply early and apply to EVER...

Hello I am a rising Senior Nursing Student. I have a previous degree in Biology with a 3.77 GPA, research experience, Anatomy/Chemisty/Biology tutor, 4.0 in all nursing prereqs, and 4.0 in my Nursing program. I have had considerable difficulty gettin...

Unfortunately that isn't in my program...some of the schools nearby have that option (co-ops). If I had done even more research when applying to schools, I would have considered that more. Do you (or anyone else that reads this) have other types of p...

Emdonnelly1205, sorry I haven't been on the forum in awhile. I will be living on campus in the orlowitz residence. Orlowitz and barringer are the two most expensive, Martin is a smarter choice (and in retrospect I would have chosen differently). Howe...

Congratulations to everyone who has received the scholarship! It sounds like it will be an amazing experience! I have been checking my email/status on the hrsa website daily. I called HRSA and spoke with a rep who said having a status of "under revie...

Haven't heard anything. Like everyone else, I am sincerely hoping this works out.

Can forward you the email if you'd like asher! And I'd love to start up a FB group maybe I should PM you'll to make it?

I just got the big email from TJU! So exciting and wow 22 credits! I am going to say this, even at the risk of sounding mushy/overly emotional lol but I hope we can all be like a close-knit family to get through this intense program. We should make s...

We definitely need to get CPR done beforehand. I did a class at a local hospital (BLS and CPR for Healthcare providers) but I believe you can search through the Red Cross search engine. I applied for financial aid/work study so I have that to help wi...

I am from Maryland just outside DC. I am pretty excited for the change though. I guess you could say I went on a partial tour. I never saw Martin, how was it? Orlowitz is pretty expensive, but less expensive then Barringer, if that doesn't work out I...

Congrats asher and happiness! I am also planning to live on-campus. I put in for Orlowitz in January but I think they are deciding about housing now until like May 29th or so. I liked how close Orlowitz was to the library and the apartments were beau...

Good to know! Swellz do you or anyone in nursing feel that they ever have time to use the gym or go to the exercise classes?

Thank you Swellz. All very helpful information. Do you know of anyone who has lived on-campus apartments and kept a car? The problem is just finding a place to keep it that won't completely drain my wallet. Also does anyone know of a facebook group f...

Jm976711 that is definitely a strong GPA, you should apply. I also found out it is first come/first serve to access the webinar. I will be on it tonight! Hope to get a lot of questions answered. Especially ones pertaining to entering the start/end da...

Yes, I actually plan on living in Orlowitz as I am from MD (it's right next to classes and the library, so stoked). I am a tiny bit worried about clinical travel though. If the sites are super far away it may be hard to get there without a car (I can...

Do you need to register for the webinar?
