New Watts Nursing student

[LSR2013]

A few questions for any Watts Nursing School students:

I am in pre-reqs right now at MOC and starting clinicals/classes at Watts in August. Any advice on working while going to school? I'll be renting and living alone, nervous about loans etc. What is the typical schedule during the week? Any other words of wisdom in preparation?

Thanks! I can't decide whether to call the school and check in or not. Any advice?

You should probably get it this week since it's been 3 wks. If you would feel more comfortable calling, then that's what I would do.

Hey NcPony....Don't sweat the letter. It took J.H. almost a month to get mine to me. Albeit that was during January and we were all froze up and no one was working. Enjoy the time off, because once you start, it's go, go, go. There are very little breaks anywhere or anytime. You'll enjoy the saying. Watts isn't particularly hard to get into, but very hard to stay in.

Good luck,

You'll probably be starting your pre-req's in Jan if I am correct?

Stay away from Soc 230 online!!!!! Trust me on that. I can get you plenty of my classmates that took it and would rather have not.

So, what is everyone thinking as far as classes for MOC? Online or on campus? Has anyone met with MOC yet?

Hi all. Congrats on the acceptance letter ala!:) I just sent in my application packet about two weeks ago...trying to figure out what determines if your in or not. Im currently a student @ MOC, and I have most of the pre-reqs done, just praying they accept me! how long was the process?

[ala_lizzie]

CJ, thanks for the congrats! I really am not sure what determines if you're in or not. I've heard the biggest things are your essay and your test scores, but I'm not sure. I think it took about two or so weeks between the app being sent in and getting the criminal background check form. Then it was exactly three weeks from the point that I mailed in the form to when I got my acceptance letter. Good luck! I hope you can get in for spring!

Thanks spa! I Apprectiate the info, I pray I get in soon, as well. Just trying to stay positive, while waiting!

Hi everyone! Does anybody know long it typically takes to hear something from MOC? I turned in my check to hold my spot last week, but I forgot to ask about a time frame to hear from someone in financial aid.
