I have a feeling admission decisions usually go out on Fridays, so I'm so (foolishly) hopeful! We probably still have a 2 week wait :\ but I can dream :)
Yup. I've applied to 5 direct entry program for non-nurses and I'm applying to a couple of A-BSN programs in Arkansas, where I'm from. They aren't ideal, but they are plenty cheaper.
I only applied to 2 other direct entry programs, so if I don't get into any, my plan was to get a full-time job for a while at a psych department and pay off some of my loans while the next cycle gets on!
I only applied to one program last year (and didn't get in), and spent the year getting more experience and volunteer hours. I was so glad I did! I ended up changing my specialty and found something I'm super passionate about. :)

No, but I am doing the prespecialty year and don't already have my BSN so that is probably why!
