Hey, it's nice to meet you! I have submitted my application already and have two pre-reqs to take this Summer. Have you attended any virtual information sessions yet?

I’m applying! I’m taking my prerequisites this Summer and in the fall. I haven’t submitted my application yet as I’m trying to boost it as much as possible before submitting it. So I won’t make the priority deadline. I don’t have the best GPA, so I want everything else to look good!

I definitely understand that! I know these months will fly by and the deadline will be here before we know it.

yay! yes, I attended one earlier this semester but I'm considering going to another one haha... IDK if that's weird, but I want a little more clarification on what happens after the initial MSN and I didn't do a good job taking notes and I'm having a hard time finding it on the website. have you attended any?

I understand that LOL and no, it's not weird at all. I want to say from what I have seen in the recent previous cohorts is that after the MSN you are eligible to start working as an entry-level RN and if you decide you want to pursue advanced practice like NP then you will have to apply for their DNP program. I havent attended any sessions yet, I currently work full-time so it is a little bit harder to attend.

@MRenner During the information session, are you expected to have your camera turned on and talk? I want to attend one, but I think I have Zoom anxiety LOL. I can't imagine many people attending at once as they offer them every Wednesday, and I don't want it to be awkward with just me in the call. Nice to meet y'all!

I had mine on when I went to one, but I don't know if it's a requirement. I was one of three attendees and we made some small talk so it might be wise to keep yours on? but also, hike your own hike ?

Hey y'all! I will be submitting my application once I finish my last two prerequisites this Summer! Have y'all gotten volunteer hours? I know it isn't required but I'm trying to decide if I should squeeze in some this Summer or not worry about it.

Yes! I attended a few over the past couple of years and I found them to be very helpful. I usually would prepare questions I had before hand because they will open the floor at the end for any questions people have. You can also ask questions throughout their presentation though!
