Villanova BSN Express Class of '10!

Nursing Students Pre-Nursing

Published

Hey guys!

I just wanted to start this thread for any students accepted into the Villanova BSN Express program starting May 2009! :yeah:

Hi! I just received my acceptance letter to the BSNExpres to start this May!!! I am so excited. I was an absolute nervous wreck waiting to hear back from them.

I was also accepted to Jefferson and but as soon as I heard back from Villanova I was so happy! It was my first choice.

Do you live in the Philadelphia area? Or will you be moving here?:up:

congrats!

I live in the suburbs of Philadelphia (greater northeast) with my boyfriend, so I will be commuting to Villanova (mostly by car, possibly by train some of the time). How about you?

I received my Villanove BSN Express acceptance this week too. I'm really excited, but still detabating Jeff vs. Villanova. Why are you guys so set on Villanova over Jeff?

Mb835.... my advice is pick the one that you feel most comfortable in. I heard people say good things and bad things about Jefferson, and Villanova. So I decided to visit each school and pick the one that I saw myself comfortable in. Personally, they all have excellent reputations.

I live about ten minutes away from Villanova so I will drive and take the train if it's a snowy day. I am so anxious to start! I know our lives are going to be insane but I am so happy to finally be in Nursing school!

I am waiting on my information packet, did you get yours? I'm assuming thats when I'll find out if I am in the day or evening session. Do you know which one you are in?

i just found out i got in today too! but now i'm torn, villanova or johns hopkins!!?? i got accepted to both this week! :) any suggestions?

What do you mean by day or evening session? I thought the night sessions were for the other program (alternate sequence curriculum?)...not sure though! I didn't get my info packet yet!

I really liked to hear what the students were saying about Villanova, vs. what the students were saying about Jeff...I talked to a few people in the Jeff program who said although overall they were happy, it was really disorganized and chaotic as far as class and clinical schduling went at times. I also fell in love with Villanova's facilities (their new nursing school is AMAZING), and felt that a 14 month program would be a better fit for me!

Hmm... I could be wrong. During the open house a current student told me that they divide the total students into day/evening sections. I could be completely wrong, but I thought that was how they did it. Maybe they just rotate some of the classes or clinicals....?

I guess we will just have to wait and see.... ahh I hate waiting!

Congrats!! Well that is going to be a hard decision! Both are great schools and excellent programs. I have not seen the John Hopkins campus so I can't give you a fair assessment. But I do know that Villanova has an unbelievable Nursing school. The facility is brand new and I fell in love with the place the second I was there. Have you visited both campuses?

Hmmm...yeah, when I interviewed Dr. Mariani told me the basic schedule of classes/clinic, and it seemed like everybody in BSNExpress was in class during the day a few days a week, and then clinicals were chosen by the staff (you get a preference, but they end up deciding). I think the alternate sequence is part-time and may be at night...
