Salisbury Accelerated BSN Applicants for 2013

U.S.A. Maryland

Published

The deadline is approaching! I noticed there wasn't a thread for this so I thought I'd start one. Is anyone else out there applying to Salisbury for the Accelerated BSN program?

Oh shoot! I was hoping no one would reply and say their name was at the end of the alphabet! Oh well, there goes that excuse. ;) I'm still hoping...but getting more nervous!

I didn't get a phone call either. I think the phone call sounds like you are getting accepted, and if so, congratulations! For the rest of us, we definitely should stay hopeful. Whatever is meant to be will be! It sure is a test of patience for all of us. I'm just ready to know one way or the other so I can stop feeling so anxious!!

Happy Valentine's Day everybody!

Hi all, cbrubaker and oye757928, if you don't mind me asking, did both of you finish all your prerequisites other than Patho? I'm figuring out my plan b but still being a tiny bit hopeful. I figured my app. would be a bit weak since I am currently taking 2 of the prereqs and still have Patho to take too. I am working on straight A's in the prereqs, and so far so good, but I figured that since I don't have grades to report for Chem and A&P 2 yet (that's what I'm taking now), my chances for acceptance might be slim. Also, did you complete 1 or 2 semesters of Chem? Thanks for any feedback. I'm anticipating going through the application process again next year, and this time, I want to be sure I've got what it takes to get in! And happy belated Valentine's Day back at you, cmullen87!

I am pretty sure just four credits of Chem or Physics were required.

coherrman, I took Physics(4crdts)....its an either/or thing for the Physics & Chem...U might still get in since u av straight As...I just got accepted to a school in PA & i'd still av 2 classes to complete if i av to go there.....i'd rather go to Salisbury though(in-state tuition) + it has been my first choice for the longest time....Good luck!!!

I don't think having pre-reqs not yet completed makes your application weak. I'm probably biased, because I am also still working on mine, but I think our transcripts and essay are much more important than completing 100% of the pre-reqs by now. I am in contact another student who has applied to the program, who I am sure is a shoe-in for acceptance based on her credentials (master's degree from SU, experienced in hospital setting, recommendations from health care professionals, etc.). She did not receive a phone call, which made me feel much better. Just passing it on, hoping it will make you feel better too.

Yea I can't imagine an applicant with those credentials not being accepted. Very cool! Gosh I'm really hoping to hear back soon. I'm in a mad scramble trying to get apps together for Rochester and NYU by March 1st just in case I am not accepted to SUs program. I have a gut feeling that at least a few applicants will hear something back by the end of the month. Im starting to get a little bit obsessive about checking the mail and this board haha. Have a great day everybody!

Since I read about the telephone calls, I have also been obsessive about checking this board.

What are your backgrounds? I'm just wondering about the mix of people who are attracted to this program.

I'm a marine biologist and have a MS degree. All of my professional experience is in animal care and research.

Thanks so much to all of you for the wonderful feedback! I think I'm trying to avoid being too disappointed, so I'm preparing probably too much for the worst! I just hope the letters go out soon so I can stop thinking about it. I hope you all have a great weekend!

I have a B.S. in Psych and an M.B.A. I worked in the high-tech industry for 15 years and then quit after having my son. My kids are now 6 and 8, and I am so excited to start a new career in nursing. I was inspired 6 years ago when my best friend passed away from cancer at a young age and I spent a lot of time hanging out with her during her chemo treatments and the many times she was hospitalized. I was amazed by the nurses and thought that's the kind of job I'd really love to have. So, I can't wait to give back some day in honor of my friend!

I'm 25 and a recent graduate of Salisbury with a degree in Philosophy. I initially thought about pursuing a career in law but after watching my aunt succumb to her battle with cancer I really felt like nursing was the best career for me. Since graduating I have worked as a musician on the Eastern Shore and volunteered at a local hospital.
