I'm just curious! I'm just starting (at the ripe 'ol age of 35, LOL!) looking into a career in nursing. I've worked in hospitals and clinics doing medical transcription for years and years, and way back when used to be a pre-physical therapy major (I've taken chemistry, anatomy, biology...don't know if they would count, as it's been several years). I would be attending MJC for pre-reqs and (fiingers crossed) the nursing program eventually and I would really love to have a student's view, how difficult it is to get into the program, any general advice, etc.

They told us we would hear something in October, but I would give the nursing office a call and tell them your situation. I know others have been calling trying to figure out what's going on, and hopefully they would be able to tell you something. I hope it all works out for you, good luck!

Hello Everyone ! I signed up a few months ago to this site but am just kinda getting anxious b/c I also received the letter that I am Top 60 on the wait list....When I spoke to the lady handling the waitlist she told me I was towards the bottom (#56) ; / but that they had already accepted 50 students, she said my chances were dependent on how many people turn down spots and how many people fail first semester (b/c they get the opportunity to repeat) all in all she told me I have about a 70% chance of getting in, I have already taken my TEAS and passed, I am just wondering if any waitlisters have gotten their letters or phone calls?? She said its a real possibility I get a phone call 2nd week of Dec. when finals are ! I hope before then but I would take anything! Im so ready!! Any advice or info would be greatly appreciated......

Hi Jayyshi209, when did you speak with the nursing department last? I tried calling them earlier this week but never got a call back. When I took the TEAS they had told us we would hear from them in October and I'm a little tired of waiting for an answer. I'm surprised you got your waitlist number, I hope I can find out what mine is now, too. Now they're saying December? I'm gonna have to try and talk to someone next week, hopefully I'll get a hold of somebody then. Let me know if you get any updates!

I spoke with her about 10 days ago.....She actually said they took the first 50 students from the waitlist already and that since I was 56 it would depend on how many people that were accepted from the waitlist decline their spots and how many first semester students get to repeat. ; ( She was pretty informative, told me I have about a 70% chance (but not to quote her on it) I had already taken my TEAS so she said she would know more closer to finals week, to give her a call in Dec. Sounds like a few people on this thread are higher on the waitlist though including you hopefully! I am praying for a miracle! I just want to get in and start! As we all do im sure......Did you speak with her ? Did she let you know how it looks for you as far as Spring semester goes?

Hey ladies! So, I spoke with one of the main ladies in the office a couple weeks ago to get an update. She said (for me), that it's still looking good and that we would get letters, (hopefully packets) by the end of October, maybe first week of November. Reading these last few comments, I got excited because it seems as if some more answers are out! I called in this morning and she said she couldn't tell me I was in until we received our packets but that it's still looking "pretty good" and I need to start preparing myself for Spring semester with finances and everything in general! Ah!

@Ronneep Congrats thats great!! Well I am really hoping to hear anything sooner, but until then I suppose waiting will be all ill have. ; / I am also waiting to hear from Delta.....I really want to check in about 2nd week of Nov. to see if any changes have occurred, ahhhh well see. Does anyone know if their budget is set or perhaps they will accommodate more students??
