Something that I have quickly learned from AllNurses' discussions and various real life interactions is that nurses are very honest. I would like to become better at receiving feedback and information that is presented to me very bluntly. How can lea...

Thank you to all who have provided responses! You have helped me so much!

I would consider applying to a different BSN program. Explore all you're options, but I would search for another bachelors program.

Out of curiosity, how common is it to commit a category 1 HIPAA violation? It sounds like a very easy mistake to make, selecting a wrong file, am I wrong?

Yay! So exciting! [emoji119]🏼 Good luck to both of you.

Are you applying to a nursing school for a Summer or a Fall 2016 start? It's that time of year where programs are getting together and selecting their next classes. Where did you apply? Have any questions? Keep us updated as you start to hear back!

I didn't send in my application to MNU through NursingCAS, I filled out a paper application and sent in paper versions of everything together in a file. I sent it probably the second week in January.

Got into Baker and MidAmerica Nazarene today! I hope you all are getting good news as well!

This week and next week letters go out! AHHHHHHHHH!

Thanks! It's tough to find the time to visit all of the schools when they only give you two weeks to give them an answer and you're still waiting to hear from other programs.

Congratulations! I got accepted to Saint Mary's yesterday! Decisions decisions... How do you possibly know which school is the best for you? I'm stressing.

You enter all future coursework as "In progress." So I would make sure that you send your transcripts as soon as they are available because of the holidays.

NursingCAS is an awesome tool and they're new update has made applying to multiple schools 10x better. Yes, there is a spot to list honors and awards. Make sure to get all required paperwork sent in early because it takes around a month for them to a...

Which type of nursing school is better? A free standing nursing school? A nursing school attached to its main campus? A nursing school attached to a active hospital?

So one of the schools is literally in a hospital. It takes up a whole floor while the hospital is below and above it. It's a magnet hospital with a great reputation and awesome NCLEX pass rates but there's a catch. When I went to my interview, I ask...

That is AWESOME! Do most nursing schools do disaster simulations?

That's awesome! I've applied to Saint Luke's, Saint Mary's, Research College, MidAmerica, and Baker. All traditional programs. I know most programs will contact us in the month of March with a few exceptions. Feeling really nervous and excited at t...

Avila gives every applicant who meets their criteria an interview, I would say they look at more than just your GPA.

Should I look for schools that have a variety of clinical sites or are just a few clinical sites better?

Yes, I keep getting the NCLEX pass rate advice a lot. I've gotten accepted to three amazing schools and have no idea how to choose. Two of them have stellar NCLEX pass and completion rates. I need more criteria to make my decision. Any advice?

So which do you think is better... A free standing nursing school, a nursing school attached to their main college campus, or a nursing school attached to an active hospital?

It's that time of year where nursing program interviews are underway and many schools are getting ready to make their selections. This question goes out to those of you who were accepted to multiple programs and had to choose one. How did you choose ...
