I appreciate your response to my post and I totally agree with your reasoning! I actually received similar advice from the nurse educator on my unit and I think the FNP route would be best suited for me. I have looked into the CNS path and if I am re...

Hi all! I have just been accepted to a master's program in Leadership and Education, a program that I'm excited about and I feel that it would be a good fit. I also have applied to two FNP programs and was invited to interview with the local one as p...

They don't ever communicate over weekends, and you could hear Monday! And don't worry about registration, the one on Monday is for summer, we can't register until July or so for fall! Plus you'll have orientation before you are able to register for c...

Hi everyone! On Monday one of our instructors told us they were selecting the new class that day and that there may be more than we have in our group which is 70. We all got emails and I remember rejections going out first and the acceptances came la...

Yes, absolutely!! I've never felt uncomfortable where I live, since it's a mostly quiet, residential area. Personally, I feel that the only places you might not feel safe in walking alone at night would be near the campuses of VCU--Jackson Ward and t...

I do! Henrico is a huge area, and for safety, I'll just say I live in the west end. I really like it but my fiancé and I don't have kids so we're kind of out of place here. I'll DM you with some recommendations!

I figured since you posted in the VCU thread! April is beautiful here, so at least if you do decide to come you'll have lovely weather to walk around the campus--there's not much to the medical campus, but driving around it is a pain.

Congratulations on getting accepted to two ABSN programs!! That's awesome. Just curious if by VCU you are referring to Virginia Commonwealth University? I live in the Richmond area and once applied to VCU and now attend one of our awesome ADN program...

I went to UC for my first bachelor's degree and had many friends in the BSN program, and they loved it! I know it's a little different than the MSN, but I highly recommend UC, especially the nursing school, all of my friends said it was challenging b...

I'm not sure if they look at the GPA from the previous bachelor's degree, but having one may help. I have a BS in business and while I had a high-ish GPA from that, I don't think that was considered. They probably only look at the grades from the 5 r...

I really like it so far! It's the end of the third week and we just had our first test and quiz this week. Everyone in the program is great and the instructors are wonderful! Feel free to ask me any questions! Best of luck to you!

@rwc29--I am a first semester student at JTCC and after applying during the fall period 2014 (July-August) I got my acceptance letter on October 17th. You can expect a similar timeframe, they probably won't deviate from their process from semester to...

I'm in the traditional program, and ended up buying the set with physical books. I debated over and over whether or not I'd use the hard copies, but I tend to study better with a physical book in my hand to turn pages, reference, etc. For only a $200...

I only have to take Nutrition, everything else is done! I may have to take Sociology again if they don't allow me to use the credit from my previous bachelors. But I plan on continuing on to get my BSN/MSN so I'll also take Microbiology, Chemistry, S...

Congratulations SadieMay!! Can't wait to meet you all at orientation :)

Congrats Kizmit and NurseNae!!! I'm so excited for both of you, it's well deserved! Maybe I'll see you at the orientation in a couple weeks.

I'm excited to tell everyone I got in for the traditional track! I received a letter via email about an hour ago! Good luck everyone :) hope to see some of you in class!

I also haven't received anything as of yet. I appreciate everyone's positive energy! It's been helping a lot, and I have to work 12-7 today so I'm going to be a nervous wreck until I can come home and check the mail. If I get an email I'll let you al...

I haven't received anything either. Hoping for good news for all! Knp2365 and Morrisonsl, I'm so very sorry. I know the sting of rejection and it's never pleasant. But, Morrisonsl, I was told by the woman in records at J. Sarge when she reviewed my a...

In case anyone is interested, J. Sarge just extended their deadline to apply for spring 2015 to December! They're looking for 80 students, so if you don't get into JTCC, that may be an option for some, if you live close enough or are willing to commu...

Good luck to everyone! I applied to both tracks too, as well as J. Sargeant Reynolds. I'm not surprised there were around 200 applications, but it's obviously worrisome since they only take 60-70 students, Reynolds is trying to take 80. I don't have ...

@lalalan8 I'm sure this will be your year! Many times people decide pretty late that they can't attend for one reason or another! If I was you, I would be so happy, but that's probably only because I didn't get in! I hope you update us when you find ...

Just wanted to update all my friends on this thread who are going to be starting at VCU that I did not get accepted Bon Secours. The average GPA was 3.3 and average TEAS was 80%. Not sure why I wasn't accepted, but I'll now be applying to VCU again f...

I love neonates, my sister was one and she is the most incredible little fighter, she's 2 now! Her nurses are the reason I began thinking of going to nursing school in the first place so I'm hoping NICU is what I end up in!

I am SO happy for you! I wish I was joining you of course, but I guess I need to try harder! I will be applying to both JSRCC and JTCC, although I can't apply to reynolds for the fall because you have to have A&P 1 and 2 completed before applying...
