hey, well, the dean said i could apply before my final grades were turned in. and then they changed the website to reflect that. So even though they have my midterm grades they won't evaluate my application until they receive the final grades now! Sooo, i guess I won't hear for several weeks now since I don't get my final grades until mid-May. they also extended the application date to the last day in May. They have already admitted a few people who have everything in. i hate being in LIMBO> :bugeyes:

btw, its finals week! and my dumb roommates had a party last night :angryfire at 2am I told them to be quiet and reminded them about my tests, and I was so ****** they were so inconsiderate that I could not sleep at all when I went to bed! So I drove to school at 7am when the library opened to study. I was able to beg the teacher of the second test (chemistry) to allow me to take it tomorrow since I was in a fog and so extremely tired. the first test (microbiology) I did well on, 100%...but still. I am very annoyed with these "roommates", can't wait to have a nursing student roommate.:up::up:

Hello all,

Just to let you know that I finally received a fingerprint form from Remington and I have been interviewed by phone last week. So far everything went pretty well, I was told that the admission office will contact me by June. Did you guys hear about your application?

For those who have been on campus, could you describe the school and infrastructures please?

Thanks

The school is in a business complex...a one story tall building, new. The building is split into two...Reminton has half and another business the other half (it looked like the other business was empty or just remodeling or something). It is surrounded by a large, mostly empty parking lot. When you walk into the doors it is very new, tall ceilings, there is long kind of narrow hall, on the left are all the admin offices, library (mostly empty but they are growing it, it also has lots of flat screen tv/computers for group projects.), and a small kitchenette for students with a vending machine and a large fridge and microwave (faculty and staff have their own kitchen). On the right side there are several classrooms, long rows of tables with comfy looking office chairs. The front of the classroom seemed to be elevated, white boards, etc. There was at least one, maybe two simulation labs, just as large as the classrooms with the robot people and different types of medical machines. Everything is modern, new and very nice, Extremely tall ceilings. You would feel very legit going to this school. i think the school will pump out very experienced nurses. I know here in Charleston, the graduates from the RN program at Trident, a technical college are thought to be much better new nurses than the grads from a bachelor program at the more prestigious MUSC. During the second quarter I think we have one or two 12 hour clinicals. The clinical time keeps increasing throughout the third and fourth quarters until you not spending much time in class during the 4th quarter.

i hope i get in!! i am waiting for my final grades then I will send them in, I got an A in Micro, A in Chem, A or B in Human Growth and Dev, and B in Statistics.....

I hope this last year of taking prereq classes pays off!

Hello guys and gals, I just had my interview the other day and I was extremely nervous because I really want to get in this program. I can tell that its going to be a great program, and very intense. The director of admissions has a lot of experience in nursing and seems to be very passionate about the program. The January class has a total of 17 students, but I am guessing way more students know about the program now as I am just finding out about it myself. For the July class they are going to accept may be 30-50 people. We are supposed to hear back from them in mid-June. Well, I can't wait to here back from them so I can start preparing. I am still finishing up 1 prereq so I won't even be considered until that's done, but I am praying that I will get in for the July class.

Hi Folks,

Just joined this group and thought I would throw in my 2.5 cents worth. I have applied to the Remington program and was pleased to be called to schedule an interview for Monday May 11th. This will be a second career for me having a BS in Zoology and a Masters in Biochemistry and Physiology. In addition, had a chance to spend a few minutes with the President a few weeks back, was pleased with the conversation and think that this will be a great program for the right individual. With any luck, I will see some of you in the July class. I also had a chance to speak with some of the students in the first class and was pleased with what I heard as well. Anyone want to chat or set up a conference call to talk about our experiences in the process, I can facilitate that. Just pop me a PM and I will set up a forum for us.

Kindest regards and luck to all!!!!
