Did you get the message? It isn't showing up in my sent folder but sometimes the private messages are weird like that

I just sent you a PM!

I can't speak to acute care (I am NMW), but the length is something I have thought about. When I asked my program director what she thought some of the main challenges for students are, she said that some do find the fast pace very challenging, thoug...

I can't speak for other specialties, but I am pretty sure that at least for nurse-midwifery, Vanderbilt and Yale have the same number of semesters in the program. The difference is that Yale does not have a summer term in between year 1 and 2 and thu...

For those of you still waiting to hear, students who have already been admitted in the first round have until March 7th to put a deposit down, so I would expect that it may be at least until then before you hear anything so that they have a better ga...

Ok now that I have heard back from a couple more schools, I think my decision is down to OHSU and Vanderbilt (CNM). Any of you have any insight?? For a long time my first choice has been OHSU, but now that I've been learning more about Vanderbilt and...

Nevermind, I have the answer to my own question! Got a call this morning that I've been accepted!! Now decision time comes...pretty much deciding between OHSU and Vanderbilt (CNM). Anyone have thoughts on the two?

Has anyone heard anything yet? Seems it should be this week right?

I think you may have done the math wrong 6*18,414 = 110,484 + 14642 = 125,126 I don't know what Columbia costs, but yes that is WAY cheaper than Penn, which is insanely expensive. That's more than in-state tuition for UCSF, but comparable to Vandy ...

Yes I'm pretty sure the full scholarship is different. Everyone was offered a partial scholarship in the amount of $3000-11,500, but no one has heard about full scholarships yet. So I assume if you are offered the full scholarship then that would tak...

So the wording on the website was changed recently, though I am still not totally clear how many of the 3 first-year scholarships are for pre-specialty vs direct-entry students. Here's what it says: "The School of Nursing offers 6 full tuition schol...

I emailed them about it when I received my acceptance letter and was told that they will notify eligible candidates in "3-4 weeks" (this was 11 days ago). Didn't say whether or not there is an essay or what qualifies as "eligible". Would be great to ...

Didn't get in either :/ To those of you who didn't get in but had your hearts set on UCSF, pretty much everyone I've talked to who has gone there has said they had to apply more than once. I have heard this more so for UCSF than other programs, so ev...

I agree - even though I know a lot of people do phone interviews (and get in), 4 days is still not much time. They seem to have totally dropped the ball in communicating with me. I applied because I wanted it as a backup in case I didn't get in elsew...

For anyone trying to decide between programs, check out this thread that someone else started. It's great to hear people's thoughts on various programs, as I'm sure many of us have applied to the same ones! https://allnurses.com/online-nursing-school...

Yes Seattle does do phone interviews, and yes they are incredibly unorganized. I am currently trying to arrange a phone interview, but their lack of communication is not scoring them any points! I've already been accepted to another program, so hones...

Oh okay I didn't realize there was another group this week. Good luck to anyone still interviewing!!

Thanks!! Is that two weeks from the last set of interviews, or two weeks from now? Getting nervous just thinking about it...

Don't give up, I have heard that often applicants who were rejected the first time will get accepted when they apply again! Also, did you interview? Just curious if people who interviewed are already hearing back. Also, did anyone who interviewed h...

I agree. I have already had some communications issues with the interview process, and when I mentioned it to the recent SU grad I know, her response was that it basically sounds typical of them. She did give me the impression that finding a job was ...

Noticed that @FutureNPisMe started a great topic on comparing programs here (https://allnurses.com/online-nursing-schools/direct-entry-2016-1031450.html), others should check it out and chime in!

Thanks for starting this thread! Hopefully more will join and share their thoughts. What specialty are you? I'm sure that each school has different pros and cons depending on specialty, as well. I am CNM, so here are a few thoughts, at least for a fe...

I am also curious everyone else's thoughts on UCSF. I have applied to other programs I'm very interested in (CNM), and a downside I see of UCSF is how difficult and expensive it is to get housing in SF and the bay. However if anyone has any thoughts ...

I think everyone was asked the same list of questions, so we all had to answer that one!

I already sent an email asking about the scholarship, and whether the amount we already got is per year or one-time. I will update when I hear back but if anyone else has insight feel free to share!
