Samford University FNP Fall 2013 students?

Published

I was accepted into the program, and looking around for other students who will also be in the program. I have heard awesome things about Samford, and can not wait til August to start meeting fellow students and faculty. Orientation is coming up soon, hoping to chat with a few people before and see if they know the area better. I am probably flying out, renting a car, and also a hotel room. Any info would be fantastic, or just introduce yourself.

I am not in the program yet but I hope to start in January 2014! I have already applied for that semester and I can't wait to see if I got in. Congrats and good luck! How long did it take for you to get a response after applying?

I'll be there with you this Fall and can't wait to get started! I've been really impressed with everyone I've interacted with from the school so far. I researched plenty of schools, and Samford seems like a great fit...its the only school I applied to.

I'm in North Carolina and don't know anything about Birmingham...trying to decide if I should fly or drive. I look forward to meeting you!

Canadianlove...I did not apply until a week before the deadline due to waiting for my BSN grades to post. I have been a nurse for 3 years, but finished my ADN to BSN. They inform you rather quickly, and if you email them a question, they answer super fast.

Pack...The drive for me is 12 hours, so I have decided to fly and rent a car. I applied to two programs, but only bc I did not know how many Samford accepted so wanted a backup. I actually know a few people who have completed this program and have nothing but awesome things to say. I look forward to meeting you too, and the rest of our class.

I'm in Charlotte...I'm probably going to fly too. That would be a long drive home after 4 days of orientation. It looks like there are several moderately-priced hotels about a mile-ish west of campus. The Marriott Courtyard offering the student discount is in that area, I think.

My plan is to stay at the Courtyard, it was the best price I found at $99/night with the school discount.
