I was incredibly nervous to take the NCLEX because I received my ATT 3.5 months after I graduated nursing school. The wait was frustrating, to say the least. I somehow convinced myself to avoid studying until I got the ATT. And once I got the Pearson...

I almost got a Littman, but settled for: Adscope 601, Convertible Stethoscope. It was $120, and I feel that it's just as good as a Littman. I convinced my mom to get me a Littman when I graduate from nursing school as a graduation gift

Congratulations everyone! I was accepted back in March. I've been waiting a while... LOL.

@love.live.laugh I think they generally notify people around the same time. According to this thread, some were notified in February. I turned in my application the day it was due, and I got an acceptance letter early March. Good luck with your ap...

Don't be nervous. At least they haven't sent you a rejection letter these past few weeks! My application wasn't as competitive as others - 3.7 prerequisites, 3.0 undergrad, worked as medical assistant for 4 years, volunteered at hospital and also ...

Hi all! Congratulations to everyone accepted into the program. Unfortunately, no good news for me. I received a rejection email last Thursday morning which said: Anyway, just wanted those who are still waiting to know that they are sending BOTH...

good luck wherever you choose to go! for the rest of us, this is good news!

I haven't heard anything yet... D: guess we'll just have to wait for Thursday.

This waiting game is lame. I keep refreshing my inbox like a crazy person. I'm going to assume they're not sending emails today.

They FINALLY checked off all my transcripts! I've been checking the status of my application like a mad woman! Hopefully they send out admissions decisions soon.

@kdacayo I checked online. I guess they haven't looked at my transcripts yet.

My application is still incomplete

Me too @lucycw! Congratulations!

@planemo I think most people pursue an MSN with the intention of specializing (NP, CNRA, etc.). I talked to someone who did a generalist MSN program with the intention of getting her NP certificate after working a little bit. This is what she said: I...

@morganw1 I agree. The accBSN route is definitely a safer bet and more practical, especially if you're not sure you want to specialize in a particular field. But I'm pretty certain I want to go the DNP route so direct-entry MSN will save a lot more ...

Hey ARN88 My friend completed the MENP program at De Paul and said a lot of her classmates secured jobs at hospitals because most are partial to De Paul students. Also, FNP programs may become obsolete soon. They are trying to eliminate FNP program...

@agsetlur @morganw1 @planemo I think employers (especially hospitals) prefer nurses with the BSN not because they have more clinical experience but because those are the jobs that are available. Private practice clinics are a little more forgiving o...

@nguyent there's a disclaimer above the checklist: "Be aware that while items may be in our office, it may take several weeks before credentials are actually processed and reflected on the checklist. we just have to be patient LOL ugh... i sent my a...

Planemo: Yes, cost of living is something to consider as well. NYC is significantly more expensive than other cities. I also heard that NYU's class sizes are huge (can be up to 200 students per class) compared to other programs that only admit a ha...

Got super excited to see an email from JHU today, but realized shortly after that it was one of those mass emails that invite you to chat with admissions. I later came home to a rejection letter in the mail for the accBSN program. LOL. Oh well.

This is really helpful! Thanks agsetlur! NYU is not my first choice. I got into an MENP program in Chicago, but I'm still keeping my options open for NYU's accBSN. I'm getting anxious though because I just received a rejection letter from JHU lol...

Is preview day reserved only for admitted students who have enrolled? I was admitted to the Winter 2015 cohort, but I haven't enrolled yet. Maybe that's why I didn't get a preview day email...

However, I too am waiting for a response from NYU. I checked the Albert site and they only checked off one of the four transcripts I sent them. I think it will take them a while to go through all the applications.

HR1989 I don't know if I'll be recruited for the Fall 2014 cohort in Lincoln Park because they said it was full. Regardless, I'm super excited! I cried when I read the acceptance email!
