Samuel Merritt ELMSN-FNP 2010 - Sacramento Applicants

Hey Erik- thanks for the reply. I hope you are happy with your decision. I can understand from your earlier post that taking one year instead of three at this time will be best for you. Good luck in becoming a dad. I am lucky enough to be the mother of 3 young girls and I can say that it's the best thing in the world.
Eternally- thanks for the info. When I talked to her last week I had moved from #8 to #6, but then when Erik said he had passed on the ELMSN I asked her again and my spot was still #6, which I find strange. I'm going to assume that she has to wait for him to sign a form stating he is giving up that spot before she can move us up in line.
So have any of you guys figured out financing? She told me to go ahead as if I'll be starting the program in January so I filled out my FAFSA, but I was just wondering what everyone else is doing? I'm going to assume that not everyone is loaded and able to pay the tuition up front out of pocket. (wish I could) Let me know what you guys are finding out there.
Thanks!

I was #2 on the waitlist and I have just been accepted into the program. Thus far two people have declined their admissions offers and everyone on the waitlist has moved up two places.

Congrats Choochoosi- that's awesome

Congrats Choochoosi!! I know the wait was tough but I'm glad you got in. Seems like we are gonna have a really good and supportive class this spring. Everyone has been so good about supporting one another on this trend and really good about giving tips and advice. Best of luck to you!

I haven't been able to find anything in the way of aid for school. I did the FAFSA, but my EFC is really high, I don't know how they calculated that! But anyways, if anyone does see a good opportunity, please let us know.

Hi 2bgr8nurse,
Sorry for the delay in response. I have no idea how to post something on your own account. I've been busy getting my CNA and working. I haven't heard anything from Liza. I sent in my letter for the waitlist but that's it.

Anyone hear any updates about the wait list?

Hey everybody waiting- I spoke with Liza and my waitlist number has moved from #6 to #5, so not too much, but better than nothing. Trying to keep myself busy with other things, but I still think about this constantly. Okay well at least there's only two more months until school starts and then we can all move on either way.

2bgr8nurse, what number did you start out at? when did you speak with Liza?

renee- I started out at #8 and I called Liza at 4:30 today.
What number are you?
