  1. MUSC ABSN Fall of 2015

    SummerWertz posted a topic in General Nursing

    I know this is still a little early, but I wanted to go ahead and make the thread so all prospective students could prepare. My credentials aren't nearly as good as a lot of people who have applied,...

  2. Raising GPA

    SummerWertz replied to SCM2018's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would go the CC route if you have already taken all of their pre-reqs. I took pre-reqs at a university and applied to the local BSN program and was rejected purely because my GPA (3.1) was too low...

  3. Do you get a graduation ceremony if you do an RN-BSN online program?

    SummerWertz posted a topic in General Students

    I plan to do an RN-BSN program online for a year, but even though the classes are all online it is through a brick and mortar medical school in my city. Do you still get to attend the graduation...

  4. MUSC ABSN Fall of 2015

    SummerWertz replied to SummerWertz's topic in General Nursing

    @carusomk: I have a 3.1 GPA and over 100 hours of volunteer and work experience. I don't have a degree of any sort. They told me I scored perfectly on every part of the application but that my GPA...

  5. MUSC ABSN Fall of 2015

    SummerWertz replied to SummerWertz's topic in General Nursing

    My letter wasn't in the mail and I couldn't take the wait so I called in and found out I didn't get accepted Apparently I scored perfectly on every aspect of the application but my science and...

  9. MUSC ABSN Fall of 2015

    SummerWertz replied to SummerWertz's topic in General Nursing

    I only applied to MUSC and Trident because a lot of the other schools had requirements that I don't

  10. MUSC ABSN Fall of 2015

    SummerWertz replied to SummerWertz's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for calling y'all! I've called so much that I don't want to keep bothering them. I'm also too nervous to hear over the phone in case it's bad news. I'm volunteering with Hospice for the first...

  11. MUSC ABSN Fall of 2015

    SummerWertz replied to SummerWertz's topic in General Nursing

    Whenever I called they said they wouldn't say anything over the phone so I'm guessing they don't want the phone lines tied up. I heard some people in old threads say that if you call and ask for...

  13. MUSC ABSN Fall of 2015

    SummerWertz replied to SummerWertz's topic in General Nursing

    By the way I'm surprised they only accepted 1 person out of state from priority and I know who that is! They were in my micro class this semester. How lucky to be the only one accepted for

  14. MUSC ABSN Fall of 2015

    SummerWertz replied to SummerWertz's topic in General Nursing

    38 in state and 26 out of state already accepted makes 64. That means they can only accept like 16 more unless they make the cohort larger I

    SummerWertz replied to SummerWertz's topic in General Nursing

    I just called and they said the board met at the end of last week and letters should be in the mail next

  16. MUSC ABSN Fall of 2015

    SummerWertz replied to SummerWertz's topic in General Nursing

    What does not offered mean? Does that mean they haven't made a decision either way for those

  17. 2015 Nursing School Applicants (all)

    SummerWertz replied to krrbrr's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    What classes/entrance exams do you have left? I'm currently taking Microbiology and finish up with that on tuesday (it was an accelerated class). When will you begin submitting applications? I've...

  18. Recommendations for a student that started with C's but ended with A's

    SummerWertz replied to MayaNino's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I agree with applying and seeing what happens. I have a similar problem and just got accepted into an ADN program. I'm still waiting to hear back from the BSN program. I would really like to do the...

  19. MUSC ABSN Fall of 2015

    SummerWertz replied to SummerWertz's topic in General Nursing

    I heard back from Trident and got accepted for Spring 2016! So at least I have there if MUSC says no

  20. MUSC ABSN Fall of 2015

    SummerWertz replied to SummerWertz's topic in General Nursing

    Trep, I know you were replying to someone else but I just want to say that you put me at ease because I have the same problems with low GPA. I do have patient care experience, though, so I'm hoping...

  21. How in the world do I write a personal statement under 250 words?

    SummerWertz replied to PrettyNerd's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I had to write a 100 word maximum essay for my application. Advice from my english professor at the time was to jump right to the point. Leave out things like "I've always wanted to be a nurse...

  22. ADN vs BSN

    SummerWertz replied to extex77's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you can get into a BSN program, go that route. If you can't, then do the ADN program and then bridge to a

  23. Getting experience in the medical field

    SummerWertz replied to apeter's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you can handle what it would take to do, I would say volunteer with Hospice. I'm volunteering right now and it was fairly easy to get into. It definitely gives you a first hand experience of...

  24. MUSC ABSN Fall of 2015

    SummerWertz replied to SummerWertz's topic in General Nursing

    Does anyone know if we find out in March or closer to April? Ahhh January went by so slowly. I'm going crazy not knowing if I got accepted or not and March/April seems so far away! Phew! Deep breaths...

  25. MUSC Hopeful Fall of 2015.... other ABSN programs?

    SummerWertz posted a topic in General Nursing

    I know this is still super early but I need someone to talk to. I've been steadily working on pre-reqs. I'm really discouraged about MUSC. I've heard it is super competitive. I know that I've really...
