I just want the letter!

Is anyone else on here going insane? I'm checking my email obsessively and, still, no letter! Everyone is telling me not worry, blah. It is unavoidable. My GPA and TEAS score were above average, but not enough to make me not worry about getting accepted. On top of all of that, I cannot find any info as to what the first semester will look like in my program. We live in Texas but will be moving to TN a couple weeks before the semester starts. Therefore, I know absolutely NO ONE who has gone to this school. What are you all doing to make this time pass more quickly? I will hear by June 15, but that seems like it will never get here!!

Congrats ruby I have to wait until June 15th and then it's not a letter but a phone call I'm praying for an acceptance :yes:

Oh man! I guess that at least keeps you from checking your email every 15 minutes. Let us know what happens and good luck!!!

Congratulations!!!! I can only imagine how relieved and thrilled you must be! I have about 4 1/2 weeks left before letters are being sent out, and I can't wait. Kudos to you, good luck on your endeavors, and keep us posted on how it goes. :yes:

I understand that!! I have been doing lots of spring cleaning the last month because I know it won't happen once school starts in the fall. Plus I have been working on my social life as well. I got separated last fall and my divorce was final in January. I didn't really have time to date because of school. I had one guy who is a good friend of mine, we just decided to be friends because of our schedules. We are both busy people. So I have been actively dating the past couple of weeks. Trying to find a guy who understands I will be in nursing school and will be supportive. Went out on a date Tuesday with a super nice guy!! Had a good time and am going to see him again Sunday. He thinks what I have done is great and nursing school will be excellent. So we will see what happens but I know I am going to have fun this summer!!

Now, I am having to force myself to not purchase my books off Amazon. They are supposed to send out an email with info in about 2.5 weeks and they register us in the courses. None of this has happened and I just have a possible book list. I am debating on just purchasing the fundamentals book. The book list is super annoying bc every book says "Fundamentals of Nursing" [for my school]. As though it is an edition made specifically for them. Since it is my first semester ever at this school, I'm not sure whether I HAVE to buy their version. At a CC I attended, they did this and would cut out chapters/change the cover. I think it was mostly so their bookstore could continue to make $$.... anyways, I WANT TO BUY MY BOOKS!!!! I almost bought my stethoscope, too; but I don't want to get the wrong one and be "that" student who bought the ridiculously and unnecessary expensive one :(

If you don't care about your books being new, check out the nursing school FB page and buy your books from another student. Much cheaper and even if it's an edition that's behind the current book, it will be pretty much the same.

I think they may have deleted that FB bc it wasn't coming up through the link or a search :( I did end up finding the fundamentals book super cheap and used on amazon. The others I am going to wait for just because most say [for Austin Peay...] and I am not sure if they change up the book slightly. I had a CC do that and we HAD to purchase all the books from the book store. It was rather obnoxious LOL

Did you do the summer preceptorship at Vanderbilt? I was reading the course descriptions and saw that was optional. It would be wonderful if I am able to do that. I'm sure it is pretty competitive.
