Congrats! I'm in a seminar right now and can't check. Anticipation is killin me...ahhh!

Decisions are out! I couldn't open it on my mobile phone. I'll have to wait a few hours before I get access to a computer!

I thought so too based on previous forum posts. This is what one of the admissions officer wrote to me last week. "Thank you for your inquiry. Decisions will go out at the end of this month. There are new interviews for ABSN students. Duke Days is a...

One of the admission officer last week told me decisions would be out by the end of the June and invitation to Duke Days for admitted and waitlisted students is in July. I just want decisions to comeout already lol. I just need to be more patient. ...

Don't be surprised if nurses are not doing the skills "the book way". Depending on where you work you may feel overwhelmed at first working with patients with varying diseases such as dementia and etc. Don't take things personal from the patients. ...

When do admissions decision come out for ABSN Spring 19 cohort?

@ochem. I don't think you're at a disadvantage with your graduation timeline for admissions. If you show experiences that demonstrate your commitment in nursing through extracurriculars, good grades and etc. You should be fine

Hey Everyone, I am a student at UC Berkeley graduating in May! Grades and prereqs are all good, but let's wait and see! Will submit app in about two weeks.

I am not applying for this admissions cycle. Although, I am going to an info session august 15th. I feel that by going it might help me consider other ways to strengthen my applications if need be or in general calm my nerves and get ideas! UC Berkel...

I'm at Cal finishing my prerequisites for ABSN or entry MSNs. Lucky for me I will probably be graduating with a 3.7 from Cal. And will probably only have one B on my nursing prerequisites. I finished every prerequisites except anatomy and physiology ...

Berkeley junior here . If you know you want to be a nurse go to community college or another school that offers nursing. Berkeley is over-rated. There are brilliant people at here, but a lot of them don't have stellar GPAs. Pre-health dreams are shat...

Hello Fellow Allnurses! Although, I am not currently applying to UCLA's MECN program, I would like to know the format of the application so that I can best prepare myself when I apply two years from now once I've graduated from UC Berkeley. One thing...

Hi AllNurses Community, Are there any good (accredited) CNA programs in the SF Bay Area? I am in the East Bay Area (Hayward). I saw that the American Red Cross has one in Santa Rosa and San Rafael, but thats very far, and would be my last option. Ar...

Thanks for the responses the one in Hayward is bad from what I hear now. Community college CNA programs aren't flexible with nursing prereqs

Hello Allnurses community, I'm contemplating whether I should finish my bachelors degree and then do an ABSN or just finish the traditional bsn degree. I am in California. I was at community college for two years under computer science. I took a gap...

Thank you for your response. After a lot of thought I may still consider Berkeley. I was computer science, but I can switch my major to something health related. It wouldn't prolong my graduation date even if I changed. The reason why I'm highly cons...

Hello, Can someone explain to me how the stafford loan works if I'm pursing a second bachelors degree in nursing? Thanks!

Hello allnurses community, I had a few questions regarding ABSN programs and Masters Entry programs in Nursing. For those who have done ABSN programs in California, or out-of-state, how was the financial aid if you received any? I am a low-income fir...

Hello Everyone, I have a question regarding financial aid for ABSN programs. Do ABSN programs give out financial aid like how usual undergraudate programs do? Fafsa gives out 6 years worth of financial aid. Assuming I have two years left our of the ...
