ADN Fall 2011 Hopefuls!!!

Published

I wanted to start a thread for those of you who have or will apply to ADN programs for the Fall 2011 semester. I have started the process but I have completed my application yet. I am nervous and super stressed. Join this thread so we can vent together. Share our journeys into nursing school.

Do you think there is a way to speed up time? Or a way to accurately predict ones future?The wait is killing me! Feb 18th is to far away.

i totally understand.. my deadline is today in t minus 1.5 hours:yeah:

I just emailed my advisor yesterday and she told me that she has 8 letters to mail out and then I will be closer on the list and basically if she does not receive all of those letters back that I should plan on attending this fall!!! Woo hoo...I hope no one responds, they were already emailed their acceptance but they did not reply back so that is why they will be mailed certified to them. I am so nervous and praying I get in for this fall.

I hope you make it through! I am excited for you. Do they have a certain amount of time to reply? Maybe the letters will get lost in the mail (I was only kidding, I wouldn't wish bad on anything.)

Thank you! I did email her that exact question as to when they had to reply by and she said she has not figured that out yet but that the letters will go out sometime this week. I am thinking she will give them 2 weeks. She did mention to me over the fall that there were several people that she could not locate on her list. I would not wish anything bad on anyone either, but I do hope someone is not able to accept their spot...so I can get in. I realize though there is a chance that I may not get in so I am trying to not be too hopeful but the suspense is killing me! They allow 35 students in once a year fall term.

Happy Valentines's day Fall Hopefuls!!

I was sort of recruited to work with a friend of mine, basically the same job and shift I have now but more money and no mandatory O/T. I cant even interview until I find out about school. This place rarely hires new people especially for a PT-FT flex postion. Ofcourse it falls in my lap right now?

I forgot to share some great news with you guys. I was nominated by my instructor's (nursing assistant) to receive a scholarship! It's in memory of a woman who was a CNA and wanted to become a nurse. She died in a car wreck. My instructor said that I work hard and take pride in my work, I get good grades, and I balance all of this while being a single mom. I am so excited. There is even an awards banquet I have to attend. I am so happy that someone besides God, myself and my family realize that I am a hard worker and I want to succeed. Thank You, God!

Congrats!!! For some reason that story sounds so familiar. I am thinking I saw something like this on the news.

Four more days until my deadline.

You guys wanna hear something crazy? The director of the school I applied to actually replied to my post ! She cleared up some of the questions we had and even said how great it was to hear from us and she hopes our eagerness will be used when we start in the fall!

Wow who knows who could be watching your post! I'm glad I said nothing bad!

Our application deadline was Feb. 1. One week to the deadline, it was extended to March 1. Then, we see a notice that 100 students (two schools in the community college system were closed) will have "reserved" spaces in our colleges. Huh? (don't know what that means). Then, the deadline for them is extended to March 15. We are not informed any of this, by the way, we have to figure it out by making calls, etc. Now, we heard they will be giving out acceptance letters after May 2nd. The wait has been so long, and the rules change in the middle. How can I not be a nervous wreck?...I'm standing on quicksand!:mad:

studentnurseCT, I say interview for it and if you get it and you get into nursing school, its flexible. Go for it.

my4helpers, you might have heard something like on the news. Where are you from. The young lady that was killed was from SC

RscodADN10, that's why it's always good to stay positive. I wish someone on the Nursing Application Committee would see my posts. Maybe then I know that my eagerness will get me a long way.

zzb13, stay positive. As long as you are a strong student you should be fine
