:uhoh3: hi, i'm waiting, and it's so hard. my schools nursing ap dealine is feb. 1, 2008. letters go out the first week of may following the deadline. i'm turning my ap in sometime this fall. its my first time applying. what are my chances of making it the first time around? any suuccess stories of making it the first time around? or any advice while i wait? help i need a support group:lol2:

If everything goes right I will be applying Feb 08. Lord PLEASE help me get in my first try.

I am also applying for admission for the Spring 08. I am applying to a traditional two year post-bachelor BSN program...and I am also applying to an accelerated BSN program. Anyway I hope I along with all of you are accepted the first go round. GOOD LUCK EVERYBODY!

I will finish my last prereq this fall quarter then I will apply to start in fall of '08. Geesh it seems like it is so far away!!! In the mean time I plan on taking the prereqs I need to bridge to a BSN.

Yes, I work @ Children's Hospital as a N.A. Have you taken your N.A. classes yet? I just found another school that im going to apply to in Oct. so i'll be turning two aps in. Very nerve wrecking waiting.

I'm right there with ya! I can't apply until the end of October for Fall '08 :uhoh21:

P.S.- Are you a nursing assistant working in pediatrics? (Just glanced at your info below your username) If so, you're very lucky! I would love to work in peds.

I will find out if I get into an accelerated BSN program that starts May 2008 next month. Good luck to all!

I am also applying in the fall. Our application periods are from Sept.1-30. This is for the Spring of 08! I will be done with all my pre and co req's except A&P2 in the Spring and then I am sure that I will not get in, in th spring because my school just went from not having a waiting list for the fall students that apply so I am sure that they will have to let all the people who are already on the list in first, before they let anyone else, other wise they will have the list going on forever. If I do not get in the first time I wil re apply and then take some extra courses in the summer.

Also my school accepts applicants based on GPA, NET scores, and the number of Pre and Coreq courses that have been completed. I think this makes it a little harder to get in, but at the same time you are not on a waiting list forever!

I start my nursing assistant class on July 9th. I'm so excited! And that's awesome that you work at a children's hospital.

I applied for this fall but did not get in they take 50 and I was #53 on the list so i will reapply in august but will not know anything until may 2008 i did really well on my teas test but i had not worked in the medical field and had a few pre-req's to finish so they will give me more points for next year so i hope i will get in this time the nursing program at VGCC is very competitive they do not go by gpa just tease results and the other points I listed above

I too am waiting for Fall 2008.

Application is from Nov 15/07 - Feb 28/08. I am assuming that I will be anxiously waiting for a letter come May of 2008!

As long as I make my pre reqs I am guaranteed a spot in my school of choice for Fall 2009. They go by waitlist, and I am top of the list for this intake........I'm just not sure if I want to waste another year waiting for it to start. I was really hoping to start in 2008. I am applying at a few other schools (like the one above) to see if I can get in for 2008. Then I guess I will make my decision!

Specializes in Home Health, Case Management, OR.

I will be applying for Spring 08 in August. I am hoping for the best!!

I will also be applying for Spring 2008 (January start) ...our application period is from August 1st to Sept. 30. I'm keeping my fingers crossed I will get in...after the fall semester I won't have anymore classes to take. I'm taking the summer off becaue I only have psychology, speech and PE left to take. so that's what I'm taking in the fall along with my CNA classes.

Ill be applying to 2 schools, Fresno State in August and Sac State in September, both for a Spring '08 start! I'm super excited and anxious! I'll be finished with my prereqs this fall, so i really hope I get in Spring '08 so I'm not wasting time with no classes to take!

I think I have a pretty decent chance of getting into Sac State based on my GPA and TEAS score. Fresno State I don't feel so confident about since they accept only based on your GPA for your prereqs! But I'm still going to apply, keeping my fingers crossed that maybe ill get in! If i get into Sac State I will have to move 3 hours away since I live in Fresno.

But Good luck to everyone! I'm keeping my fingers crossed for us all!
