Penn School of Nursing Admissions Questions

<p>Does anyone know if the Nursing applicants get reviewed by the School of Nursing? Or are they just accepted through the regional admissions officer?</p>

<p>Also, do you think that less than one year of hospital volunteering in a nursing unit will hurt my chances? I am a rising senior... i start hospital volunteering this summer and will be doing it throughout the schoolyear. However, i have been involved in independent research, which is why a lot of my time has been taken up.</p>
