Another vent about school

As you all know I have to take the NET over again because I apparently came close to passing...so they are giving me another chance to take the test. I have to take the test next Tuesday on the 15th. I already know that we have to have our physical/immunizations/lab results at the health office of my college by August 15th. This made me wonder....by the time they receive the results and determine who they are going to let in...there is no way to have all that info. in. So I e-mailed the chairperson of the nursing department.....she e-mailed me back (9 days later mind you...:( ) and told me that when we are informed it will either be for the tentative January evening program....(what the heck is this????) or for September 2004. I was so upset when I read that e-mail. When I received my letter stating ".....you scored very close to passing on the NET and you are being given another chance to take the test...) I assumed that there were more people who came close to passing than people who actually passed. How could I have misinterpretedthe letter??? :confused: I tried to get in touch with her but was unable to....I'll try again tomorrow. I can't believe this is happening......

Absolutely correct on advisors - I WAS the advisor and we got our info a day late and a dollar short. The actual nursing school and deans are the ones who pull the apron strings. Do not believe anyone else and only what you see in writing :)

Sad isnt it?~! The very first thing I tell new students is to take what they hear (from advisors AND students) with a grain of salt!

Ask.... then Ask again, if you still arn't sure ASK some more!

My advisor messed me up on my nursing application, and I had to apply 4 months LATER!! ARGGGHHH

Another fellow student applied TO EARLY... then found out about classes she had NO CLUE we were supposed to have taken. She was also told she didnt need to have her AAS degree to get her BSN, but that was the wrong advice! Hopefully she found out in time, although she'll be taking a lot of extra classes trying to catch up! NOT FUN! :(
