JMarie............he gave me 3 different times to pick so maybe her does 3-4 a day......I just hope there is stll space left!!!

Do you mean the essay about the swine flu or our intention essay? I still have to write mine but would be uncomfortable if he read it right there....altho I would endure almost anyhthing if I knew I was accepted.

So they will probably let us know right away since the deposit is due July 1 (I am assuming there is a bit of leeway since I wont even know by July 1 if get in or not.

I have asked 2 people for letters last week to give them time to write and I am still deciding on the third person....I better hurry!

Oh I meant about the intention essay- July 1st oh my ya your right ....

Good luck to the both of you on your interviews. I mailed in my $3k payment and am now looking forward to orientation. I think they said it would be optional and would take place the second week of July.

I got in with no medical experience and you can too so keep your hopes up and keep us posted.

keke gives me the slightest chance of hope!!!! JMarie .........stay positive. I am at work right now but I am working on my letter of intent - I cant seem to concentrate on anything but this - even dreaming about nursing!!!! . I still wont be able to get a good nites sleep until I know one way or the other.

keke - I cant believe orientation would be optional - I would think they would expect you to go to tell you about the program and the books etc.

KeKe! Wow you also give me some hope! I do have to say you must have had a really high score then on the NET no? Well that is awesome good luck at orientation! I too feel it should be mandatory so people will know what they are in for- some may not realize and that might make someone decide otherwise...ya ya I know I just want in!!LOL

Sawyer- I hear you about not being able to concetrate on anything else but! I too last night was dreaming baout the interview! hahaha and the other night dreamt about people getting hurt and I was there to help! hahahaha can you cay obsessed?lol

I have one letter of rec complete...oh geez I need to send an email or call..I do not have my high school diploma due to a fire at my home a few years back but I do have my transcripts I wonder if that would suffice.....

I am working on resume today and letter of intent tomorrow.... also waiting for last transcript to come in....crossing my fingers....

How are you doing with all your to-dos sawyer? I know lst time you still needed to figure out who was going to do your letters of rec i think...either way keep this thread going!! I will post with my progress as well!!

Good luck everyone!!!!!

JMarie.....got all my letters, birth cert copy, license copy and my high school transcript.....I dont know where my diploma is so the transcript should be enough. I am still waiting for my college transcript to see if I should include it - I took a lot of classes that I "dropped" out of unofficially so they are "F"s instead of withdrawns. So if it looks too bad I am not gonna include it. Tomorrow I will do my letter and resume and then wait with baited breath until tues!!

I know what you mean about speaking eloquently - of course when i called to leave my message I was al Umm ahhh. Then when he called me back on my cell the call got dropped in the middle of our pphonecall!!!! I was praying please call back. Then I swear I didnt say anything except ok, yes, ok yes. I was a bumbling idiot. Hopefully I do better face to face. Make sure you let us know how it went after your interview.

Hi,

I remember being so stressed trying to get all of that stuff together also. One thing I did was to send them the references and intent letter before I met with them so that they had time to read it. I don't know if it really matters but it made me feel better knowing that he knew my intentions before I walked in. Prisi- Did he read your letter and recommendations in front of you? For me he just went thru his check list and told me everything about the program including what classes will be taken during the different semesters, cost and he stressed how difficult the program was. He never read anything in front of me.

I don't know.....I'm just trying to find a way for all of you to get in.

Stay positive, I know a previous student who interviewed in June, was told to go take some college courses and come back next year and then was called in July because a spot opened up. She had no college courses or medical experience and is now a working LPN.


I enjoy this thread and I can't wait until we ALL can talk about another subject.....being accepted, getting our books and scrubs etc....

On another note........can you believe Michael Jackson! What a shock. I am totally dating myself but I can remember watching that Thriller video over and over again.
