Just took the Kaplan and submitted my application for a local RN program. My scores: Math 94, Reading 93, Writing 73, Science 60. My overall score is 81. The nursing director told me this is a solid score, and the cutoff for accepted applicants last ...

Hello all! First of all, good luck with your future nursing goals, or congratulations on your achievements if you are currently an RN! I just applied for the fall program with a local, competitive (aren't they all, really?) nursing program. They are ...

I'm 26 and just attended my RN program orientation. I'll have my BSN by 28. Our instructor told us for many this is a 2nd or 3rd career path - I believe it because I saw many, many in their 40s. You are NOT old and I believe you'll have a one up on o...

It's a local community college. I live in a big college city where one university completely dominates. The local university (VCU) has a waiting list, and while the community college was competitive to get into, obviously the big university is even m...

Stick it out! You haven't been busting your chops this whole time for nothing!

A lot of good advice in here. Glad to hear similar situations have worked out great! Thanks for the feedback. To clarify a few things - I was accepted into the RN program at a local community college. I was number 38 out of 70 accepted applicants. I ...

My certified background check says completed with results - yet some, not all, of the results say 'pending' under status, while others say completed. Have either of you noticed this, or are your results good to go?

Have you gotten this to work? I haven't tried yet due to the holiday weekend. I'll be doing this today and will report back.

Here I am, a 26 year old male who's been working on prereqs for the last year while working in corporate America. Found out today that I'm in, and will have a BSN in a couple years. Out of 350 applicants, I was one of the 70! I sure hope my 30-40s wi...

Congrats to both of you!! I was told there are 70 seats. Its great to see we all made it!

Got the letter! It's official. Orientation is at the end of the month.

Damn that sucks. Haha! My mail should be here in an hour or so. Make sure to let us know!

If I got in to J Sarge with an 81 on the Kaplan, you definitely did. Check your mail tomorrow!

Thank you!!! I received confirmation from admissions yesterday that I'm in. They're mailing acceptance packets today with the program offer. Based off of my understanding of how applicants were selected and the Kaplan, we should all be in! Unless peo...

If you have the courage to take the leap, you'll succeed with diligence and persistance. Perhaps you should alter your approach. Determine if nursing is right for you​, not if you're right for nursing.

Thank you! I am more than ready to get into this field! I look forward to the hard work and the great rewards that await me in the wonderful accomplishments of nursing

Sooooo not to get anyone too excited, but I just received confirmation from ODU that I'm in!!!!! The ODU rep said they recevied a list of students who have shown interest in the concurrent BSN program and will be receiving acceptance letters!!!

It's going to be a long week ha!

So this of course makes me wonder if we'll receive (Richmond city) the letters by Saturday the 5th! >: )

Just spoke with exactly who I needed to talk to. Letters will be mailed on July 3rd and theres nothing we can do to find out earlier than that.

I'm going to call tomorrow (Monday) to see what information is available. Someone in the admissions department told me they plan on sending the letters out on Thursday 7/3!

@Zackaroni - The debt to potential income ratio of student loans and RN income is a huge factor. I've often wondered if it's worth the investment. I've often heard of hospitals paying for the BSN if the new grad agrees to obtain it within 3 years of ...

Orientation is definitely required, as well as a slew of other things, which is why they really can't delay with this. I would'nt be surprised if we all know if we're in by this time next week. However, I'm sure the list of requirements is flexible a...

Yeah essentially what we've been told... but it's good to know they'll be sent out after the 5th and not the 6th week. I know I'm being anal... Ha. She should be back soon.

Just called and I was informed they plan to have the letters out by the week of July 1st, so hopefully they will be en route by the beginning of the 6th week... I would assume letters being sent means they know who made it Mrs. Edwards is the POC fo...
