There's probably not a lot of pharmacists here, but I'm going to give it a shot anyway... I'm a pre-nursing student and I've been debating between FNP and pharmacist as my end goal for a while now. I've actually been interested in pharmacy since high...

Long story short, I am a graduate of UC Irvine with a bachelor's degree in music, who was originally looking to become an occupational therapist. However, in the last few months, I came to the conclusion that OT is really not for me and I want to bec...

I'm about to start an accelerated BSN program in a month and I'm terrified out of my wits. It's a 15 month program spread out in 4 semesters. As if nursing school on its own wasn't hard enough, I heard that accelerated BSN programs are practically so...

I'm starting an accelerated bsn program in the summer, and it seems like there is a consensus that "nursing school was the hardest thing that [people] have done in their lives" almost everywhere, whether it be allnurses.com, Youtube, or whatever.... ...

I know that most schools have "two strikes, then you're out" rule when it comes to getting kicked out. But has anyone seen/heard of someone being dismissed after the FIRST semester? What did they do??

I was always set on FNP due to job prospects, flexibility, etc. but I've been having second thoughts about PMHNP lately. Psychiatry fascinates me and I would much rather focus on one aspect of human health that I'm interested in. What does a PMHNP e...

I thought most schools give you a second shot when you fail a class for the first time. So doesn't that mean that the earliest a student can get dismissed from a program for academic reasons is after the SECOND semester?

Hi guys, I've been admitted to Western but decided to attend another school. Today was the deadline to pay the deposit to secure the spot for the admitted applicants, and I did not pay my deposit. Hopefully, the next person on the alternate list shou...

I would like to know which program this is as well.

Hi tusnurse92, would you be able to give some insight on this program? How rigorous is it? Would you be able to describe a typical week in the program? How are the students doing with finding a job upon the completion of the pre-licensure portion? I ...

Do NOT go by the financial aid website or the nursing website for now; they do not reflect accurate information as of yet. Even the people working at the admission's office themselves do not have an accurate idea of the cost. Instead, they gave me t...

I'm on the same boat- paid my deposit but having second thoughts. My worst nightmare is failing out of the program with the horrendous amount of loans still left with me. Although it may sound far-fetched and extremely pessimistic, I think this is a ...

aboyd4580, feel free to PM me and I'll give you my e-mail. :)

For those of you who made up their mind about attending Emory, how are you handling your finances? Although their website states that ABSN and MSN each cost $60,000, it's misleading because apparently that cost does not include a summer semester. I e...

I found out about my acceptance into ABSN+ MSN for family nurse practitioner track on November 15th (which was their first "official" admission notification date) and my biggest advice is to APPLY EARLY. My stats are weaker than many others who have ...

My acceptance letter states ABSN + MSN. I just talked to the nursing school today and they said AMSN and MSN refer to the same curriculum but different cohorts. Basically,if you've been admitted into the combined ABSN+MSN program, then the master's p...

Hi, is there anyone who was admitted into the program but cannot attend the Admitted Students' Day? I live in California and will not be able to attend due to personal circumstances. Also, does Emory have a regular MSN program and an accelerated MSN ...

So did any pre-specialty FNP applicants do interviews yet?? Or are we one of the specialties that don't have interviews/get them really late? I don't know if I should just give up at this point if I have not heard anything back from the school about ...

Did anyone applying for the pre-specialty & FNP track receive any updates/interview requests? I've heard absolutely nothing from the school until today, and that was a routine e-mail regarding financial aid. I just spoke to Sandy and she told me ...

FNP pre-specialty applicant here. I just spoke to Megan at the admission's office today and she informed me that I should hear something "this month," whether it be an admission decision or a request for phone interview. She also told me that FNP app...

Long story short, I have a bachelor's degree in a non-nursing field and want to ultimately become a FNP. I'm looking to get into direct-entry MSN programs, but not all of these programs offer specialties- meaning, I would be walking out of the progra...
