So I am in the program and live in Gainesville (so very similar location). While everything is subject to change year by year, currently, we are going to be expected to go to campus in Staunton every...
Gosh, I have heard as little as 15 but I have also heard 20-25. 15 seems way too small, so I feel like it has to be in that 20-25 realm. And I feel like their information session said about 20-25....
Hey all. I got a phone call yesterday afternoon that I was accepted! I interviewed Wednesday, May 12 at the 10:20am time slot.

Hi Hope, I'm in the program now. I wouldn't stress your background too much, especially if your grades vastly improved. Your nursing pre reqs are going to mean the most overall anyways. If you're...
