NMSU Roadrunner or Pathways-HELP!

[lonestargrl]

Hi everyone,

I have been reading the threads about NMSU. I beginning to get worried. I am applying to the Roadrunner(Summer09) and Pathways (Fall09).

So far, I have not been happy w/ the disorganization of their website. They have changed the requirements numerous times. They recently decided they want 3 reference letters. Basically, give me less than a month and a half during the holidays to do so. It has made me question the integrity of the program.

A fellow classmate turned me onto this program. I live in California. The programs out here are ridiculously competitive and expensive. That is what attracted me to NMSU. The price tuition waiver and less competition. Also, they require less pre-reqs!

Please help! I have been hoping to get accepted and start in May (hopefully). Is it not worth it????? I'm freaking out!!!!!! Are the online classes not manageable? Do others form study groups? Any successful graduates?

Also, how do you recommend to prepare for the dosage calculations test and Hesi for NMSU??? I was thinking of taking an online dosage calculation class. I purchased the Saunders Nclex review.

Confused and worried,

LSG

of course, i plan on calling them. i got this message late friday. i can not contact them until monday. it was not the news i wanted to hear going into a weekend.

thanks, for the encouragement. i have been working so hard for 1.5 years and have sacrificed a lot just to get to this point. i'm sure i'm not the only one. most of us are working on pursuing a second career. i'm just feeling discouraged right now. nothing i can do until monday morning. i would rather do the pathways program. i don't know why they didn't just put in un that one instead. are you in the program now?

nmsu is the one of the easiest programs to get into, however it is getting harder. tell them u wanna do pathways.

wow, i feel lame if i can't get into the "easiest" program. i feel that i had a very competitive application. i requested consideration for both programs. i said, rr would be my first choice, but will accept either. my friend last year got accepted w/ a much lower gpa and no health background.

i think you will get in. don't stress out about it too much and enjoy your weekend.
