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!

I'm starting my 3rd semester now and have a 2-year-old. My hubby works full time but I do have family in the area who make it easier on us. First semester schedule is weird. I did have night clinicals first semester 1 day a week (4 pm - 10 pm) though I'm not sure those are sticking around.

You can bank on being in class Mon-Fri pretty much all day. I did all my studying at home; there weren't many group projects until 2nd semester so I didn't need any outside time other than class time. Everyone's different with their time management; I prefer to study around my daughter's schedule.

There's a few of us in our class with kids - it's hard but you make it work - it's over so fast.

Thanks for the replys. Right now I am staying at home with my girl and going to school at night after my wife comes home. Just trying to figure out what I'll need to do next semester. Sounds like I will need to have her in daycare by then.

Hi,

I was wondering if anyone remembered how long it took to get notified if they got into the nursing program or not. Also, how do they tell you? I applied for Spring 2010 start..so I am hoping around October 15th I will know. I am so nervous.

I haven't heard anything. I sent MUSC an email and they said they had about 215 applicants. I really REALLY hope I get in. Do you already have your bachelors? I don't. I am a pre-nursing major at my school right now and I applied to a few different programs. I get the feeling that a lot of people that apply to this school already have their bachelors.

I am also waiting to hear if I get in. SO nervous! Keep going from being confident - to thinking I am crazy to even apply. This is the only program I applied to...and the only one I want to go to! I wish there was a way to tell them that if I am accepted, I'm definitely going and won't waste a space!

Have you guys finished your prereqs or did you apply with classes left to still take? i wonder if that makes a difference at all. And what did you all think about the 100 word essay?

I have a BA, but I don't know if that helps since my undergrad GPA was terrible. My cummulative GPA is my main concern. We shall see.

Best of luck to everyone!

I am taking two prereqs right now. They said it didn't make a different. The only way it makes a different would be if I didn't get a C or better in them. I thought the 100 word essay sucked, lol. It was hard to put a lot into it to get my point across, but I just figured that they look at the essay if they are torn between accepting two people. I'm sure GPA is more imporant. I can't wait to hear from them. I applied to another school, but I want to go to this one. Well see. As soon as you find out post on here!!

I'm currently taking two pre-reqs (micro and physiology) and graduated with my BA this past december. My cumulative GPA was ok, and my pre-req GPA is a 4.0..which is what I'm banking on!! I made a post on here a while ago about the essay- I had a hard time trying to express myself in 100 words. There was so much more I could have said but I guess they decided no one wanted to read more than that- less work for them! Are any of you currently in SC? I'm in Charleston now
