Who is waiting?

[niko1999 RN BSN]

Is anyone else besides me so unlucky to be pounding their head to the wall for the next 2 months or so? I haven't started to get too terribly anxious yet, seeing as how Manchester deadline only just passed, and stratham's deadline isnt even for a few more weeks, but even still, waiting is already starting to get to me, b/c after this semester, what am I to do with myself? I will be all done with everything. Anyway, hope there are other people gritting their teeth waiting as well.

Thank you for that info Niko1999! Hope you get in where you want!

Another MOnTH! Ugh, I can't deal.

I know, it's killing me here, especially now that it is down to crunch time. Truth be told, I would be happy with even getting wait listed, at least youre accepted that way. Mid April can't come soon enough!!!!

I got my letter from Nashua! I got in! Hooray!

[icantsurf, MSN, NP]

cool, congrats!

[niko1999 RN BSN]

Grats!!! That is exciting! Was Nashua your first school?

[Art&Science]

Nashua is my first choice because of several small differences. It's closer to my house, I'm required to take one less class (Human Growth) and when I totaled up the fees it should cost me about $2000 less to go there. Plus they have a gym now which means I can cancel my gym membership and save a couple hundred dollars a year.

Does anyone have any opinions on Nashua vs. Manchester? Perks or downsides?

I was reading further back in these posts, and someone had asked what the schedule was for the nursing program. Don't know if you were looking for GBCC, but the fall 09 schedule is now up, its until 3pm two days a week, until 1000am one day, and 2pm one day a week! Monday -Thursday

Hey Niko, where did you find the class schedule for Fall '09 at GBCC? I have been waiting to find out what it is to see if i can work. Do you know when we're supposed to here about acceptance?? Thanks!

[icantsurf, MSN, NP]

I couldn't take it any longer so I called Manchester today, they said they will mail out letters within the next couple of weeks. The super nice woman I spoke with said that it is taking longer than it has in the past because there are over 400 applicants this year (for 64 seats)! I guess this is twice the amount of people who applied last year.

This wait is driving me up the wall.

[niko1999 RN BSN]

Hey Becca, middle of april for manchester and GBCC. Are you a student over at GBCC yet? I know for a fact that the new schedule is under SIS, you can look under either schedule of classes, or if you log into your SIS account, you can find it in there too. I bet you talked to the actual admissions person icantsurf. She is super nice, the only one that has had half a brain there so far. Can't believe there are so many applicants to them this year! I wonder how many stratham got?

[Becca2theresq]

Hey Niko, thanks for the info. I am not currently a student so I can't get into the schedule. So the times you listed above is that just for the nursing classes? It's going to be hard to fit work in around that!! Do you know if this includes the clinical time too?

[niko1999 RN BSN]

Ok, here it is Becca:

Lecture Monday Thursday 8-950 Monday 130-330

Clinical A Wednesday 700-200

Clinical B Tuesday 700-200

Lab A Tuesday 900-1130 and 1230-300

Lab B Wednesday 900-1130 and 1230-300

I imagine you would pick either clinical A and Lab A or Clinical B and Lab B, because you can't very well be in two places at once, but they do expect you to be Superman, so who knows lol. Have you taken any of your other classes? if you go to the school website, http://www.greatbay.edu, go under current students, click on SIS, go to schedule of classes, and there will be summer and fall classes on there, no need to sign in.
