   Honestly, the pre-nursing stuff is very different from what you do in the program. Some of the people that were ranked dead last are at the top of the class now. The test are very different, and it requires a different kind of thinking and studying t...

    Cool, thanks for all the info! At this point I will be happy either way. An extra few months to save money would be great, but getting started in the program would be nice too. (Plus, not having to retake Nursing Skills I since mine expires this fal...

    Congrats!! I knew you would get a spot!! So I take it you are accepting? I am so glad to hear they are sending out the acceptance letters as they go, instead of sending out a bunch at the end of July.
