I am planning on applying to Villanova's BSN Express program that begins in May 2017.
Is there anyone else out there who is also applying to this program or who has applied and/or attended this program in the past? I would love to get some insite about the program from any current/former students.
I would also like to hear from anyone who has worked with Villanova students. Do they seem to be well-prepared for the demands of the nursing profession?
Hello all. New to the site although I had been searching it for prep on interviews. I had my interview today and the professor pretty much told me that she would accept me if it were up to only her. She explained that the final wave of interviews is next week and then they will be meeting as a committee. Notifications will be sent before the Christmas holiday.
You guys, I'm so anxious to get my letter but it hasn't come yet! I was told after my interview that I would be accepted, and last Friday my status in the portal changed to "Decision Made -- Notification Sent" but I haven't received an email or letter. I'm getting nervous that they changed their mind or something...I just need to have that paper in my hand before I'll believe it's true :) In the meantime, the waiting is driving me bonkers!
Just be patient and wait it out. They are probably sending them out in bulk based on who interviewed around the same time and got accepted vs. declined. It may not be long at all. Give it another week. They change the status under the portal pretty fast because the morning of my interview it wasn't updated and then after my interview just for fun I logged in to see that it was updated to "under review" and the interview slot had been completed. So they probably updated the "notification sent" for yours pretty fast but hadn't printed the letters yet maybe.
After a week of my status being changed to decision made I sent an email and Kristin responded quickly stating I was accepted and attached my decision letet to the email. A week or two later my official letter came in the mail.
I know they have to wait for the Dean to sign the paperwork before sending them out, that is why it took so long last month to get the physical paperwork, so I wouldn't worry!
I finally got it! Well, the email version, anyway, but I'm not complaining. I got it on Tuesday, and it was funny timing because I was considering emailing Kristin and then I told myself I'd wait one more day...and then not even 45 minutes later, there it was!
Congrats to everyone!
To those of you who have been accepted, are you 100% going to Nova, or are you considering other schools?
