Good luck, everyone! We should hear between September 9th to 23rd, right? Not that I'm counting.

I applied to the Acute Care Program - both Master's and Doctorate, post-BSN. I'm from Florida.

Hi there! I'm just about finished with my application for the Summer 2018 AGAC-NP program at USA. Nice to meet you!

Hi everyone! Just looking for input on managing multiple interviews. If one interview goes well and they send you an offer, how long a time period can you request for your response? Someone told me a week wasn't too much to ask for?... Since there ar...

I know there is a lot of focus on the job market in your area, etc, which is always good to think about when pursuing higher education, but I really want to tell you that 55 is not old and you can do anything you want to at any age you want to. :) ...

I will have about $65k in debt once I finish my BSN next month. That being said - I went from working a job I dreaded and cried while driving to to a job that I can't wait to get to and hate to leave. Will paying back loans suck? Yup. Will it suck a...

"No, you cannot call him Hogar!"

I don't mind emesis at all. The sight, sound, or smell really have no effect on me. My superpower ends there though - I lose it all at the sight of hair or sputum caught in the drain. And needles. How can I be a nurse and have a fear of needles, you...

To direw0lf: I decided to go back to school because my previous job as an accountant / collector put me in touch with people in various stages of the healthcare spectrum and it really sparked an interest in healthcare overall. That, and as a previous...

I love this and I can't even express why.

I'm also starting the final semester of my BSN on August 24th and I'm so excited! I can't wait to get back into school and the everyday hustle and bustle... 40 days off is nice, but when you're still trying to save up tuition and have nothing to do b...

I can't bear to read any more of these today, but I think you guys are amazing for everything you've experienced. I'm trying not to cry as i read these, since I have a reputation for being the crier... that's OK, I have sensitive heartstrings. But th...

I'm a nontraditional student going in to finish my final semester of a BSN program. 33, married, but no kids. Still very hard to balance out home and family life - especially when i compare my routine to everyone else's in my class (all but one are n...

I have learned that: 1) I do not know how to relax, like, at all. On summer break before my next semester of school and I'm writing my resume and studying NCLEX questions for fun. 2) I love baking way too much. And putting veggies into baked goods c...

I love this whole thing! I am a student and I often get (nicely) teased about being a germaphobe by fellow students because I insist on wearing gloves and following hygiene protocols to a tee. But the germs are seriously something that needs to be co...

I love love love Cardiac - but what part of the Cardiac process I want to be in is still a big question for me. I absolutely fell in love with ICU during my rotation there (because of the protocols, technology, and teamwork), but I also fell in love ...

Hi everyone! About ready to be a senior nursing student and I'm wondering how people chose where to do their preceptorship (or, if you couldn't choose, where you would have gone if you had a choice and why?)? There are so many different things I'm in...

llg - Thank you for your insight and information in your reply. It made a lot of sense. I down-played my passion / area of concentration in the original post. I apologize for that. I actually really would like to specialize in Cardiac nursing after s...

Sorry to hear that, guys! Don't give up!

Sorry - didn't mean to post it twice.

I got my letter today, too! Accepted as long as I finish the courses I'm enrolled in! So excited!

Congratulations!

I didn't get anything today. Told my husband he should call to see if anything was mailed, but it's after 5. Hoping tomorrow will bring news!

My mail hasn't come yet today, but I have my fingers crossed. I think the mailman may start thinking I'm stalking him or something since I always seem to come right out when he's there. lol

Hi, I applied as well and am still checking my mailbox everyday... Was a transfer, so don't know myreal GPA. Hope to hear back this week!
