A 3.4 is definitely fine enough to get you into a BSN program. Especially when combined with a good essay and stellar recommendations. However, if it's the pre-req courses that were bringing your gpa down, you may have issues.

Hey Braden, Congrats on your acceptance! To answer your question, yes and no. I received my acceptance to Wright Sate, but not specifically to the BEACON program. I'm thinking this is because I am still finishing up OChem, and once I submit my final transcripts I'll receive my actually letter admission. Haha, so I am hoping any way. In WINGS, it still says "admit provisional" but my program is listed as nursing for the FALL term. So, I think I am good to go. Are you for certain going to Wright State in the fall? I can't wait to get started myself.

No one has any information!?! I would love to get some insight!

Clearly there are hundreds of people applying...

First, congratulation on obtaining an interview! That alone is a huge step and you should feel proud. I have had two interview for 2nd degree programs: the University of Rochester (accepted!) and Wright State University (provisionally accepted - another prereq to finish). I was also accepted at NYU, but no interview was required. For the most part, each interview was very relaxed and really turned out to be a lot of fun. Here are typical questions I was asked: Why do you want to become a nurse? How would you describe a nurse? What was your original career path? (since this is a 2nd degree program.) Why this particular institution? What qualities do you posses that would make you a good nurse? How would your previous instructors/employers describe you? What do you hope to accomplish over the course of your career/ what are you career goals? I also suggest working in something about current issues in nursing to show your interest in the field. I talked about debates surrounding the idea that requirements may be changing -- must have BSN to work as an RN and Doctorate to work as NP. DO NOT FEEL PRESSURED. I know you feel like its one interview that decides your future, but if you are genuinely motivated to become a nurse your interviewers with see this in your how enthusiastic your responses are. Each of my interviewers really tried to make it conversational, so I felt pretty relaxed because of that. Just let me know if you have any other questions. I wish you the best of luck, and I'm sure you will do great!!

Hello there, I was just wondering if anyone on here applied to the program. If so, have you followed your application status? I looked the other day and it said "Descision: admit provisional," which I am pretty sure is a good sign. I just want to know what others have seen. Good luck to everyone who applied!
