applying to lone star colleges for fall 09

I haven't received anything either...hopefully we'll hear something soon!

On the North Harris Nursing website it says that information on the Basic Track Notification letters is TBA I guess I won't find anything out until I get back from Vegas!! I was hoping to maybe celebrate?? We'll see... the waiting it killing me!! If anyone finds anything out, please let us know!! I emailed the nursing counselor, but haven't heard anything. I am sure her inbox is swamped with people wondering the same thing as me!

I was reading thru you're responses and I had to comment - It feels like just yesterday I was in ya'lls shoes - now I'm finishing my first year of Nursing School! I wanted to wish everyone luck on getting in. You are in for the ride of your life - The next two (and a half) years will be consumed with studying or thinking about studying LOL - I have a few tips for everyone -

Make sure you get your CPR certification ASAP - and make sure it's the correct one. You will have an orientation and at that time the people with all their paperwork and requirements (shots, cpr) can go register. If you don't have something you will get last pick for clinicals.

DONT buy your books at the bookstore - you can find them for wayyyy cheaper on half. com or amazon - look them up by the ISBN numbers on the booklist you recieve at orientation.

Don't buy a two hundred dollar stethscope - you don't need it. I have the littman lightweight for $50 and it rocks.

Don't stress this summer - I know it's exciting but it will really be your last time to relax in awhile.

Buy LOTS of notecards, highlighters, black pens, a watch with military time, and comfortable shoes! (all white)

If you can afford a PDA it's worth it - you can download your drug guide on it - it's invaluable in clinicals.

Don't get caught up in the drama - I feel like I'm back in highschool sometimes.

Be happy with B's or even C's in nursing school - either way if you pass NCLEX that's all that matters!

That's all I have right now - message me if you have any questions for me.

Wow, thanks for the advice!!! I appreciate it and will take it all into consideration.. Any advice always helps, especially when the advice comes from someone who has filled the shoes!! Thanks again!!

Hey everyone just heads up on north harris web site it says that letters were mailed out on april 8th and if you dont have a letter by april 18 then call the office im so nervous i can barely type i am praying so hard i hope everyone gets in because i know its been a long and hard strugle for me to just get to the point i can only imagine what it will feel like to get an accepatance letter after having so many denials well good luck everyone i,m praying.

I just read on the website that Basic Track applicant letters will be mailed out on Monday the 13th.

For which campus?

I am so ready for the wait to be over!
It seems like it could be any day now till we get our letters...
Good Luck to everyone!



....still waiting. lol

I have a question... I put Montgomery as my first choice and North Harris as my second. I am pretty sure that I wont get into Montgomery because I had an 11.25 and after reading some of the posts on the message boards it looks like you at least need an 11.4.... so my question is does it matter the way you put the schools in order on the applications? Also... will you get 2 seperate letters or just one letter? Thanks... and good luck to everyone!!
