Hey Monster..got my packet too...know everything is due back by the 21st..I am confused w. the background check and drug test. Do we have to have that payed for and completed by the 21st as well?..tried to call but couldnt get through to anyone.

I am going to get it done by next week. Simply because I want to get it out of the way. I sent an email asking about it so if I hear anything back I'll let you know.

Interestedinabsn,

The GPA I posted did not include my post-bac work. After graduating I decided to take some courses in physics and chemistry. Once I decided that nursing was a better fit than med school, I started getting As in all of my pre-reqs. I also took nutrition which was not a WSSU requirement but for other programs it usually is. I gave transcripts from all of my study abroad coursework. I am unsure about how they go through the decision making process. I do know that when I met with the adviser in May, which was a requirement for WSSU's ABSN, I had a great feeling and felt a connection. I got a copy of the advising worksheet to hang on to which stated I had completed all the pre-reqs and it also explained which nursing classes I would need to complete the program. I turned this in with my application to show that I had met with her and she approved me. I am a 25 y/o white female in great health. I have worked as a CNA/PCT for three years under the supervision of the nurses. I live in Charlotte. Have you tried applying to Queens ABSN? Hope this helps.

Thanks but i do not think they look at anything past the undergraduate degree. I do have a masters degree and I know they do not look at it though I turned in that transcript as well.

TKP3321,

I got an email back. She is going to ask the director and get back to me on Monday. It seems there is a possibility that it is not due 10/21 but we'll see.

I just called WSSU and I talked to Ms. ****. She told me that information was mailed out yesterday.

I don't live in the area : ( I am also looking for a place to stay possibly, but I am also debating commuting from Charlotte. I would call the WSSU student housing and ask if they know of good locations. Although they have dorms, they also could be helpful finding a nice/quiet place off campus. I'll keep you posted if I see anything. I was mainly looking on craigslist.

I am right there with you. Coming from Charlotte I am also worried about weather delays during the winter months. I don't want an ice storm to prevent me from getting in my clinical hours. I have worked plenty of 12 hour shifts on the floor, add learning nursing techniques/philosophies/performing the tasks required; it will surely be even more draining. I am also waiting on the WFBH interview because depending on stipend, I may or may not be able to afford and place to stay. Keep in touch : )

Any Charlotte commuters out there?

Still nothing in the mail today--seems like it would have been here by now since I live in Greensboro. Who knows...

Received my rejection letter today.
