U.S.A. Florida

Published

Just wanting to connect & be/get encouragement from other hopefuls who are applying to the program. Anyway, who's up for stalking the mailman with me?

I am currently a secretary /monitor tech at oak hill hospital. i used to work at brooksville regional and i just always liked the hospitals and got used to the routine of it all. I was a CNA before this. I want to be a PA or NP im not sure which one yet i just need to get started on the right track!! I really am banking on getting in this program as I just get married and me graduating means building our house on our 2 acreage wedding present! lol I hope to get accepted and make a lot of new friends as i have heard the ones you make in nursing school are sometimes the ones that stick! :-) good luck to all!

Update on the letters. I always try to call and talk to as many different people I can , in order to piece together any information I can ,as to when the letters are coming out of if I got accepted or not. Originally I called the person who is responsible for sending out the letters and she told me they would be sent out the first week of October, because they committee already met at the time she told me this. She also mentioned that she was new to sending out the letters, I guess someone else did it last go around. I talked to someone else today who told me the one who is responsible for the letters won't send them out until she completes a few tasks for the people who have been accepted. I can only speculate what those things are. Maybe the packets that we receive once we accept the seat, the ones that tell us what we need to do, such as background check, shots etc. This could also mean she has to change our major so that we are able to sign up for nursing courses going forward. I once asked the person in charge of sending out the acceptance letters if we would notice our major changed( in wise) before the letters are sent out and she said that might not happen simultaneously. Anyway I now think the person I originally talked to, who said the letters would go out last Friday, maybe didn't realize how much work was involved before sending out the letters and overestimated the speed at which she could complete the task.

Also, she hasn't answered the phone, so she is probably very busy.

They supposedly send all acceptance and denial letters out together.

I've got serious ants in my pants waiting to hear back. I had to go up to the financial aid office for paperwork and the girl there told me that last year they didn't hear back until November, I NEARLY DIED! A buddy of mine that already has been through the program said he got his in early to mid October! I'm dying to get started on the background check, CPR cert and shot/immunizations already!

When I got my letter it was just that...a letter. Actually it was two pieces of paper one was a letter and the other was an acceptance form. You have to turn in the acceptance form and then they send you the packet of stuff. The form had to be turned in within 10 days or the seat would be forfeited :eek:

Sounds like everyone has great reasons & motivation to become nurses.

Hi guys! Im so nervous... I check my mail everyday and I never normally check my mail ever. I want this so bad. I would love to work in pediatrics or geriatrics one day but would be happy doing nursing in any area when I start. I know this is what im supposed do so now I just hope phcc agrees. Good luck everyone.

I wonder if any of the 150 applicants this go around got a denial letter yet?

How long does it take to stuff 150 letters, the committee already met and has chosen the people to go into the programs, that much they can tell you.

Has anyone signed up for NCH0050 bls yet? You might as well get registered for a class sometime after mid October , the fee won't be due till the day of. And if you don't get in you can drop it before you have to pay.

just think, when everyone one who gets an acceptance letter this go around for all the health programs, lpn, rn ,etc; they will be rushing to sign up for basic life support, you could miss the section you want and have to go on a day that is inconv. for you.

by the way jazacmom said when she got her acceptance letter it was two pages, the letter and acceptance form.

So if you are like me it will be comforting to know If i got in or not before I open the letter. So an acceptance letter will weigh about 13grams and a denial letter should way 9 grams, because its just one page.

This way if you have a scale like me when you get the letter you can weigh your letter and know before you open it.

I guess that sounds a little crazy.

Its nice I could use the scale for something besides that yayo

It is definetly tough waiting for these letters. I'm just looking forward to finding out one way or another so I can make plans for next year.

So in the interest of keeping conversation going (and so I have something to read while I'm checking this everday to see if anyone got their letter) how about we all share a little about ourselves (basic stuff- i'm not asking for SSN #s or life stories jk :) ) what do you think the hardest part of being in nursing school will be?

I'm Jen, 24, married, mother of one. We have 3 dogs & 1 cat.

I think the hardest part of school will be being away from my son. He's 13 months old and I've been working from home & finishing my AA online so I can be home with him. It will be tough to leave him but I'm really glad my husband will be home one day to watch him and my sister will be watching him the other two days so no daycare :)

I'm 43 divorced with a 13 yr old daughter. I started school in jan 2011 due to a laid off. I have since lost my home so we will be moving in with relatives this month. Luckily I have a wonderful and supportive family. I want to be in this program so much so that I can start a career in something I've always wanted to do. Also so I can be back on my feet and show my daughter how important education is. The hardest part about this program is going to be having to work when u know u have so much studying to do. Not having enough hours in the day will be tough, but we will do it!!!!!
