MUSC Accelerated BSN

U.S.A. South Carolina

Does anyone know if this is a good program? I'm thinking about applying for it for Fall '08, but I don't know anyone who has gone to the school. I would love to know anything from quality of faculty to design of the program to how difficult it is to get accepted. Do most people who start the program graduate? Does anyone work during the program? Really anything would be very appreciated!

if you don't mind me asking...did they say what you needed to fix before applying again for fall '10?

I need to finish up my prereqs. I took Microbiology last semester and sent those transcripts in with this application. My GPA is only 3.2, SAT score 1390. The first time I applied was for the Fall of 2009...I was out of the country for the summer and did not take the prereq because I'd been wait listed. While I was gone, MUSC called me off the waiting list, but I hadn't taken the prereq, having been out of the country and thinking that I would not get in after being on the waiting list. So, now that I have that prereq, I'm hoping for better news this semester!!

What about yall? Is this your first time applying? What are your scores like?

Did anyone apply for priority admission? And if so, did you get in? I'm hoping to apply priority admission for Spring 2011.

Question: Does anyone know how many spots they have open?

Also, when did they say they would be sending out letters?

GOOD LUCK TO ALL!!

I'm trying to get a jump start to prepare for applications when they become available in July and am wondering what the essay is about. Is it just "why do you want to be a nurse?" or is there more specific information that they want? Does anyone know if the essay changes for each application cycle?

So I just heard that they only have 40 spots! I wanted to cry...but am still holding out hope for a FAT envelope in 3 weeks!

Where did you hear that? I thought they had 60 spots...They told me they had only filled a few spots with people who applied for early decision.

Someone in my class talked to the dean of admissions. I haven't talked to anyone down there though so it could be miss information which I hope it is!

40 spots? I can't IMAGINE they're cutting slots (which have been at 60). All we hear about is how they don't have $$$...

Specializes in PICU.

But they don't have money for clinical faculty, so cutting admissions would save money. My class was the first class to have 60, it was 50 prior to us, and the only reason they could add 10 more was because of the grant from the VA. Maybe the VA hasn't renewed the grant? Last I heard, they still had the grant and still were admitting 60 people, but that was a few months ago.

I hadn't heard they were cutting the number down. I do know that we don't have enough clinical faculty and we are having to spend two of our clinical days first semester in the simulation lab instead of in the hospital and that is based on number of faculty. Those that applied, best of luck to you. I am really enjoying it so far. A lot more time intensive than I figured it would be but it is enjoyable and I have made a lot of friends in my clinical group that are all really great people. We are definatly a team that helps each other as much as we can. I too have heard about the dropout rate at Trident. I don't think there is any evil reason. i think it is a function of their admissions policy. If you meet the quals you get in. If you don't make it, the college has plenty of people who want to take your spot.
