I was just wondering who else is timestamped 06/16/09 and what your time is. :)
I'm also on the wait list for nursing school and I have a Feb 09 date stamp. I spoke to someone at the district office and they informed me that I have a pretty good chance of getting in for Jan 2011. Yeah, not a 100% chance, but a good chance! My friend with a Dec 08 date stamp, just got in for Fall 2010 on a deferal (someone deferred, so she got their spot). Anyway, so just trying to not burst any bubbles and to be realistic, it probably will not likely happen for June folks to get in for Spring 2011.
I think your friend must have gotten very lucky or had lots of schools listed on her application :). If your date stamp is in June 09, that means the first semester you were eligible for was Spring 10, so second run would be Fall 10 and third run would be Spring 11. You will be *very* lucky to get in for the Spring 2011 class. But hey, keep your fingers crossed!! I think it also depends on where you want to go. There are some schools that have a much longer waitlist and others not as long.
The last person to get in had the time stamp of Feb 20, 2009 08:03:44 AM. So I definitely think if you have a early time stamp on the June date you will get it for the Spring. I have a friend that called the school of their first choice and they said they thought they would definitely get in for Spring their time stamp is June 8:00 (I forgot the seconds).
i dont want to sound harsh, but i have a 2-20-09 8:05.32 time stamp and i did not get in, in Fall 2010. I think that people with a june 09 time stamp will start in the Fall 2011, because there were a lot of people who applied in Januay. I talked to an advisor at MCC and she stated that it is now about 2-3 year wait to get in, if you just applied. It is a very long wait but it will be worth it in the end. Stay positive people!!

But I already found out I got into NAU for this fall, so i'll be dropping off the list. It's worth it if you're just applying to keep working on pre-reqs for one of the BSN programs, and applying to them as well. You hit a point where you'll have enough credits to do 2 years at mcc and get your associates, or 2 years at a NAU/ASU/UofA and come out with a BSN
Hey KDOLL-I am right there with you. My stamp is 02/20/2009 08:03:29AM and I too, have yet to be placed. I did call the district office and someone I spoke to on the phone did look up where I was at and said he was pretty certain I'd get in for Spring 2011. So, I am banking on that. Where are you planning on going? I am only listing MCC. It's closest to me, well actually CGCC is closest, but I haven't heard great things about them for about 3 yrs straight, so I am going to go with an oldie, but goodie :).
AZHIC, congrats on getting into NAU's program! That's awesome!
I don't mind the wait, as I have two kidds and my youngest will just be starting school, so it works out great for me. If I didn't have kids/family, I'd be definitely going somewhere else besides AZ for nursing school! Although it seems like wherever your live, if you're a new grad it is hard to find work. Hopefully the economy will get much better over the course of the next 2-3 yrs and we won't have any problems finding work!

I am also timestamped 6/16/09 my time is 8:03 50 I just wanted to jump onto this thread to let you know you aren't alone, even though you already knew that lol! I think we will for sure get in Fall '11 but like everyone else I'm crossing my fingers for Spring. October is so far away to find out though I wish they would let us know sooner
