Also, just an FYI, My pre reqs total to a 3.0- so If I did so the ASN route would I be expected to retake those? Or can I transfer those in even though I have a prior degree?

So I'm fresh out of undergrad (Graduated this past Saturday with a degree in biology!) and fresh from being rejected from all 5 of the direct entry nursing programs I applied to. I know exactly why I was rejected- my undergrad record is spotty and thus my GPA is toilet water. This may seem crazy but I've been crafting out a plan for myself all day and would love the thought/input of some nurses and nursing students here who may have considered or know someone who has taken a similar path. I ultimatly want to be an nurse practitioner, particularly for psychiatry-mental health. I know there's no chance of me getting into a program with my stats as of right now but was thinking of doing a ASN program after getting my CNA license this summer. Its not ideal, but most programs are 5 semesters- including summer and my doing well would show that I can handle the rigor that comes with nursing. Then after completing a ASN program I can apply to either a RN to BSN or RN to MSN program. It's the more round-about way, and I probably won't get a position at any Boston hospitals any time soon, but seeing as I really want to do nursing and I want to show that I am capable of doing this, more time in getting the degrees I need is warranted and will probably help me out in the long run. My only fear is that I have yet to meet anyone who's done this recently- sure there are nurses with ASN's who are doing it/ have done it and are thriving as nurses now but being of a new generation, will it look bad that I'm going about it this way? Or does one just going through the process to enter nursing, one way or another, show that you have the capability to hack it as a nurse? Any and all thoughts are appreciated :)

I know Regis is in the rolling admission stage now but has anyone interviewed/ heard anything back since they applied after the regular deadline?

I applied for the psych track. I emailed and it was kind of the same response. Interviews are still being conducted. . . I'm just gonna wait it out. Good luck to all who got interviews.

Called, didn't get much of an answer. Woman was very vague almost as if she couldn't be bothered. She said I should be getting a letter in a month and said if an interview was necessary it would of happened by now.

Anyone here anything yet? This wait is unbearable

Yea I haven't heard of anyone from psych finding out yet- trying not to freak but i am. My friend suggested me calling to get an answer but I haven't heard anything yet and I don't wanna risk it

anyone have northeastern as their first choice? I'm in a weird position- got accepted to one program, just a bsn program though and NEU is my first choice by far- no word on interview or any real communication as of yet. What do I do?

Anyone who is still waiting hear anything yet? I've checked my account at least 10 times today [emoji30]

So I'm wicked nervous that I haven't heard anything yet- not a peep besides my application being complete. Should I email admissions or call? I don't want to add complications or seem annoying. . .

I lied it's today by 5pm!

Check your Email!!!! Tomorrow is the day guys! [emoji30]

I haven't [emoji30] ugh the agony

Ugh I'm afraid to look! I need to start thinking about what I'm gonna do if I'm not accepted, got rejected by two schools already. My anxiety is through the roof! [emoji30]

Wait WHAT?!
