Hi! I wanted to start a thread for those applying to UVA's MSN CNL program for Summer 2018. I finish up my last two prerequisites this week. I'm nervous, but excited to apply! Just wanted to see if there's anyone out there in the same boat as me. I l...

Hey guys! I just started a thread for UVA's CNL Summer 2018, but I'm also applying to VCU's ABSN program for Summer 2018. If anyone out there is doing the same, or just applying to VCU, I'd love to hear from you! :)

Just submitted my VCU accelerated BSN application! Love to hear if anyone is in the same boat! :)

Submitted my application! The next step is to wait to see if you're called for an interview right? Does anyone know when that will be? I know decisions are made February 2018

Hi NurseRed92, Are you able to send your electronic references? I've filled them out, and they read "sent". However, my references aren't getting them

I started prereqs for two accelerated programs this January. I took AP I and II Spring 2017 and Microbiology, Developmental Psychology, and Statistics Summer 2017. Applications for the programs I'm applying to open in August and October :) Good luck ...

Hey all! I'm still working on my prerequisites for accelerated nursing. I finished Anatomy and Physiology I with a B, Anatomy and Physiology II with an A, and just finished Microbiology with a B. I'm taking Statistics and Developmental Psychology now...

I'd absolutely recommend them! I liked them because you can get the work done around your schedule and don't have to worry about commuting to class. It definitely depends on your learning style, but I enjoyed being given a weekly deadline and having ...

Right now (Spring 2017) I am taking two for a total of 8 credits. I took A&P I for the first 8 weeks, and I am on the last week of A&P II for the second 8 weeks. I am going to be taking three courses this summer: Microbiology, Developmental P...

The accelerated programs to which I'm applying each require a 3.0 GPA or higher. However, I would contact the programs that you're interested in and get their advice. You could also apply and explain your GPA within the application. It never hurts to...

I am working full-time while completing my prerequisites. I am doing most of my courses online. The flexibility of online classes is awesome!

I have taken AP I and AP II online. We complete the lab assignments in the lab manual, but anything involving an actual physical lab we skip. There are online modules called PHILS we complete as well. They're simulations of lab experiments which are ...

I am taking A&P 1 online right now. It's one of the prerequisites for the accelerated BSN program that I'm hoping to apply to this summer. I chose this option, because I found it to be easier with a full time job. I enjoy the flexibility of compl...

I'm in the same boat as you! When I went to the info session for the accelerated BSN program at the college, they recommended that we take our pre-reqs at a community college. They knew that we'd be competing against current students to take the pre-...

I can definitely sympathize with the feeling isolated part! I love my kiddos, but when I start saying to my friends "1-2-3 eyes on me" when we're out at a social event and expecting them to reply "1-2 eyes on you" there's a problem haha -- I'm an ele...

I am curious about this too! I am just now exploring accelerated nursing programs in my area in order to make the switch from being an elementary teacher to nurse. I enjoy working with children, so I was thinking pediatrics but if anyone knows of any...

I'm a current elementary teacher looking into making a career change to nursing. If you truly feel that you've given the nursing profession a fair shot, and you do not enjoy it, I say go for the career change. However, working less than a year as a n...

I know I'm late to the conversation (...by three years), but I wanted to post anyway for anyone who has a similar question. I'm a current elementary teacher looking to switching into nursing. I would say go ahead and continue with the nursing program...

I'm getting ready to make a career change into nursing as well. I have a BA and M.Ed, so I'm looking into two accelerated nursing programs in my state. One is for a BSN and the other for an MSN. They both require that you have a bachelor's degree in ...

I'm a current teacher working to get into nursing, so I'm on the flip side of things. I enjoy teaching and working with children; however, I do not enjoy getting paid so little and spending thousands (yes thousands) per year in my classroom (my easel...

I would suggest getting a dog that's at least a year old to start, puppies will need to go out hourly or close to it depending on the age. I've put my dog in doggie daycare before. It was helpful, because there's a camera for you to watch him, they h...

As a teacher, I've had students in this situation before. We always contacted the parent to let them know (which is tough enough in itself). Sometimes the parents are embarrassed and deny the problem, so we also let them know that it's impacting thei...

As a current elementary teacher, I always have kiddos who come to me in 'desperate need of immediate medical attention' i.e. they want to take a trip to the nurse to get an icepack that will later be used as a toy or drink in class. Unless I see bloo...

I'm preparing for the GRE too. I bought The Official Guide to the GRE 2nd Eddition by ETS, because they designed the GRE. I also bought one of their supplemental books Official GRE Verbal Reasoning Practice Questions. I think I'll also get the Quanti...

Hi everyone, I submitted an application to volunteer at a local city hospital, located downtown in my area. (They're actually partnered with the accelerated nursing program that I'm hoping to apply to in the near future.) I submitted the application ...
