Hi @meltominoire, I'm actually going to be starting at Walden's MSN NP track 12/9, I wanted to comment because I noticed there weren't any responses yet. Hopefully you started and you're liking the program so far, I wish you well!

Okay so for everyone still panicking (like me), here's my story so far: I took the NCLEX-RN for the first time on 06/07/2017 at 2pm after intense studying for 1 week (repeated Hurst Review week prior and did 100-200 uWorld questions daily) because I ...

I got two sets at cititrends for $9 each :)

Good luck all! I would recommend that you get both Jeana and Catherine to calculate your points with you over the phone or in person. They go through a lot of profiles but from my experience, they tend to be a lot more considerate with points when th...

It turns out we don't need to be CPR certified prior to the Spring. All we need is our inoculations up-to-date, our blue cards and ourselves at the Nursing Orientation. We don't even need scrubs, but I'll be buying mine before because I don't want to...

I haven't gotten a packet in the mail yet so I'm not sure, but do we have to be CPR certified prior to January? I know the first semester is technically Sophomore II so will MSU be giving us the training on campus? I know they do that at some other p...

Gifty, I chose the same clinical! So excited! I'm also taking online Nutrition and Medical Terminology for easy fillers! :)

I registered for my classes a few hours ago! I sent Catherine an email to remove my hold and she got back to me immediately, so just email and let her know you have to complete things! Is anyone else taking Medical Term and Nutrition online so we can...

Got a email from Jeana with a Word document attached. I had to accept my invitation to join the Spring 2015 cohort, so I did that earlier today! For anyone who is or thinks they may be on the waiting list, all responses from students that were accept...

I'm actually not sure about that. I just spoke with someone but she said maybe tomorrow, maybe at the end of the week and that she couldn't notify the Director to just remove my hold. I didn't ask her to only remove my hold, I asked her if my hold wo...

@nursingmsu Congratulations!!! I can't wait to see you in the Fall! Lol I feel like all of us are going to start off introducing ourselves with little username tags around our necks! 1. Nope, unless you got accepted into UTA's program and want to po...

Just got my acceptance email from Jeana Brunson! She says that she'll be sending out official letters sometime tomorrow or the day after! Good luck and God Bless everyone! :)

@brittward I would recommend calling the office that you got your background check done and then go from there! I'm not really sure if we need to physically show WSON our blue cards but just in case we do, it would be best to avoid any problems that'...

@breacumby Yes, some of us have. I know I have 70 points and I'm ranked #35 on the list out of the top 70. If you call either Catherine Rudy or Jeana Brunson, they will give you your stats. I would rather know and be prepared for what your response w...

Tuition payments are due January 9 but you have up until the 12th day of the semester to pay them. I'm very confused by that because Spring Orientation for New Students is scheduled the morning of January 15 and apparently our financial aid will be d...

Do you want to come down with me on Friday? Just text me at 4696716065 if so! We just just drive down there really early in the morning (the event started at 8:15am) and I think everything should be done by 3pm? They weren't specific on end time... I...

Yup, I'm going to the tour this Friday to check out the campus and Mustang Village, but I have so many questions! I also agree, I don't want to have to go down there 2 more times for the orientation and the nursing orientation! I plan on auditing pa...

Fastweb is just one of the websites for scholarships that aren't school specific that the financial aid office at MSU told me about. If you grew up in that area, you may be applicable for more scholarships, but since you go to UTA like me, you probab...

Other than the nursing scholarship, but that's not open right now... Have you tried applying to outside scholarships, like from fastweb and stuff? That's an amazing GPA, good luck on getting your 4.0 :)

@breonab @trudy2017 Yeah, that makes a lot of sense. I've been leaning towards MSU but until SHSU awards me aid for the Spring, I'm not going to make any solid decisions. As it is, MSU's tuition is more reasonable and so is the room and board. I'm ab...

I heard the same thing and that really worries me! I got accepted into here and SHSU so far, but I'm thinking really hard about going to SHSU especially since I would be out a semester early. I just don't know what to do. Until MSU gets around to sen...

Yeah, I don't have to take the Intro or the Path class in the Spring because I have those done already but I don't know how being below 12 hours will effect my financial aid. Does anyone know?

So $3,400 for tuition and fees? Perfect! That makes so much more sense! I was beginning to freak out! So if I want to live at Mustang Village I'll need minimum $6,800 for the semester... Do you know if we need to buy insurance or pay for any addition...

Yeah, that does not sound right to me at all. When I did the calculations based on the tuition calc for them, tuition came out to almost $3000 for the first semester. No matter which way I look at it, it wasn't close to $5000. Even UTA's tuition is $...

OMG I just read everyone's comments! Congratulations to all who got accepted! I hope I see you in the Spring! Same goes to anyone who's on the waiting list! I would love to be a part of this cohort and finally get to know people outside of their user...
