Alternate for nursing program question . . .

nursenessa2b · Sep 23, 2008

Nursenessa, I just started the Gary ASN this semester. Let me tell you, Gary takes their sweet old time getting those letters out. Don't drive yourself nuts, I did this summer. They were supposed to have letters out end of May/beginning of June, and they didn't actually go out until the beginning of July. Valpo was much quicker getting theirs out, as a result we had many alternates accepted in this semester. A lot of ppl applied to Valpo as well, and of course accepted their spots there instead of waiting for Gary. Good Luck to you, I hope they get those letters out on schedule this time!

OMG!!!! I can not believe they took so long. Thanks for the heads up. I really want to get into Gary but I will be grateful just to get in. I am just waiting for the financial aid refund to occupy my time while i am waiting. Thanks for all the great advice. :nurse:

I went and spoke to the financial aid at Bloomington yesterday to see how much I will be able to get if I am in the nursing program in the spring and am unable to work. I am a single mom with three kids, so I have to know how I'm gonna pay the bills. I'm only going to be able to get $7000 for sping semester, so now I have to figure out what I'm going to do. UGH! Why does it have to be so dang difficult? I guess I'll apply for every scholarship known to man.
