I am in Seattle and planning a move to Rochester in December. Do you guys live in Rochester already or are you moving as well? I am hoping to visit in the next few weeks to get to know the area a bit and start looking for housing. If any of you are local, would you want to meet up?

Congrats to everyone who got in...It is an amazing program...After 3 weeks of the program I think we are starting to figure out why it is an accelerated program. Nothing but good things to report so far...

Willimina- I should be here! I currently work at Strong/ URMC actually but will be around on weekends as well. Mid-October is the perfect time to visit and get a feel for the city. If you need suggestions on what areas are best to live, I'd be happy to help!

Do you have any any advice or info you wish you had known before you started? How many hours a week do you end up spending on it?

Macallie- Congrats on your acceptance!

I believe there is another discussion group that is for ALL students who have completed or are currently enrolled in the APNN programs. That group may have more answers to your questions.

So, i'm a bit worried about the cold wintery months. I received my acceptance letter, btw congrats to all. I am now in a dilemma. I am from NYC area and deciding whether I should move 6 hours North or 6 hours SOUTH to the Dc area! I've researched both schools and although the other choice has 3 yrs of the BSN under its belt has a highly recognized Masters in Nursing program....Decisions, decisions.

I've been to Rochester before, but I am afraid of my sedan coupe trying to weather the storms up there. I know that this should play a small factor in my decisioning but I want to be extremely comfortable for 12 months. Anyone out there can give insight on how the school and clinical sites handles snow days?? THANKS
