I applied. I do not have my bachelors, I'm starting that in February. I chose Intensive Care Units and Pediatrics. I hope we hear something within the coming months.

Hey Everyone! I just had a couple of questions with Hersheys GN residency program. I have completed my portfolio and submitted it. However, I think I may not get picked because of two things. So, I just wanted some clarity from people who have gotten in/not gotten in over the year(s). a. my gpa is a 2.8, they say that it is preferred to have at least a 3.0. is this indeed a deal breaker? I am worried a little because I am off by .2 of what they want? b. the program starts in February of 2013, and that is when I start my bachelors program. is it unheard of that this program actually hires associate degrees? i have heard mixed reviews on this. I appreciate the feedback that anyone could possibly have concerning the Hershey GN prgroam:)

I would def get a lawyer. It will make the process a lot quicker and smoother for you. I know, because I got one last June (2012) and completed nursing school, and was able to quickly get all of the ARD program complete. I am currently a year and two months later getting it fully expunged, praise Jesus. However, before you take your licensing exam, you will need to let the state know. Because you will need to get an evaluation done by their agency, and they can tell you then if you are allowed to take the exam or not. If you happen to take the exam without letting them know, they will see that as being dishonest, and can take away your license after you take your test. So, play it safe, get a lawyer, as expensive as it may be. And call the state and let them know, just to cover yourself. Hope this helps!
