I just happened to stumble upon this thread and figured I would offer an idea for those who were not accepted! For anyone who does not want to wait a whole year to try applying again, I would highly recommend applying to other programs whose deadlines have not passed yet, including accelerated BSN programs! I applied to the OSU cohort which began this past summer, and I did not get accepted. I didn't want to wait to try applying for the next cohort, I just wanted to start a program. So I found an ABSN program whose deadline was January 15, got all my materials in within two weeks, and then later found out I got accepted. My program started in May, actually a month before I would've started at OSU, and now I'm already halfway through my BSN. Once I graduate in August, I'm going to apply to traditional masters programs that I can complete while working full time. This route may not be for everyone, but for someone like me who was eager to get school started, it has been great. I'll be able to start working as an RN during what would have originally only been the start of my second semester of school had I reapplied and gotten accepted on my second attempt at OSU! Just my two cents :-)

I'm not a psych NP by any means, I'm actually still in nursing school. But anyway, since many people with mental illness often have physical problems also, wouldn't it be important to be able to assess for physical problems as well? Though, I suppose it also depends on your intended practice setting and whether you are doing inpatient or outpatient.

Hey Dedancer454, I ended up not going to Villanova but I did get accepted for the program that started in May this year. I think my GPA was around a 3.6 when I applied. I did have an interview, I'm not aware of anyone who was accepted without an interview.

I'm not sure, jonas23x. I do know that the deadline for people to accept or turn down their offer is March 17, so you may hear something after that. Good luck!! I hope you receive good news soon!!

I just created a group!! Welcome to Facebook If the link doesn't work, just search JU Nursing Summer 2017!

Does anyone want to start a Facebook group or something?

Thank you for saying that!!! I didn't even notice that. I received a scholarship letter, as well!!

That would be amazing, but for some reason I don't think I can get nearly as much because I'm National Guard and was never active duty

haileyfl I was also wondering if the admit reply form was enough or if we need to send an email to accept as well. I also didn't get an email about scholarships so I am a little bummed about that! I'm hoping to be able to use some military benefits to at least put a dent in the cost, though. I think I'm going to search online for scholarships, as well.

Just received notification that I was accepted. So excited!!!!!

Thanks for the info, cddiomampo!! Good luck!!! Awesome, what do you do currently? I have also worked in healthcare for a couple of years, and I currently work as a PCA on a med surg/telemetry unit. I love it!

I hope so, but honestly I'm not sure. I've read through some past threads that make it sound like they send letters through snail mail. But some have also said that they've received a phone call. So I have no idea!! I'm just ready to know already!!

Just curious-- Does anyone have any prior healthcare experience?

Good luck!!! If you don't mind sharing, may I ask what your stats are?

Me too!!!! I just want to know already!!!
