Just checking in with this group. Hopefully, everyone survived November 1st!
We traveled back-to-back weekends to look at nursing programs. First was Case Western. We got a private tour of nursing, which is in the relatively new Health Education Campus building. It’s about 0.60 miles from campus, right across the street from the Cleveland Clinic. We walked it (nice day), but there are frequent shuttles. The facility is pretty amazing. It houses the CWRU med school and dental school too, and there are some unique interdisciplinary labs/simulations (nursing and med students together). Clinical time starts freshman year. My D liked everything about the nursing program there.
Next was an admitted student day at Pitt. This was also a good visit (and D’s second time there). They ran a very well-organized and fun program – with lots of swag, energy, and school spirit. We got our nursing questions answered and really liked the overall campus/student vibe a lot. [My D didn’t say this explicitly, but I think she would love to be able to combine the facilities at CWRU with the school spirit and overall vibe at Pitt…]
At this point, D is ready for a mental health break from college applications! No more college visits until the spring, and very little left to do on the application side of things. She ended up applying EA to the following nursing programs: Pitt (admitted with GAP and Honors), Iowa (admitted with nursing supplement still to do), Marquette, Creighton, TCU, Miami, Tennessee, Michigan, Villanova, Case Western, and USF-CA. She also threw an application at our state flagship (non-nursing), and might do one or two RD applications TBD.
How is everyone else doing? Please post your updates and results here. I have heard that Creighton’s decisions started rolling out last Friday (we have not heard personally yet).
Good luck!
