I got in on the first try. I am in IL so I don't know how it is where everyone else lives. I do know the school had over 1,000apps with only 40 spots for fall and 40 for spring. Anyway, by this time next year I hope I will be sharing my, "end of first year as a nursing student stories" with y'all. It can be done and I will keep my fingers crossed for you. Good luck with the application process and i'll be watching for your posts when those letters come rolling in!

My application was due June 1st for the Spring 2008 BSN program at my college. I just got my acceptance letter two days ago. Just finishing up prereqs this summer and fall along with the last few bio classes for my B.S. biology degree (done in december!). I can't wait to start nursing school!

I am waiting also, taking as many non nursing classes possibly to knock them out and allow more time for nursing classes.

My app deadline is Feb 2008 to find out in May if start in August.

Here's to keeping my fingers crossed.

I'm on the alternate list for fall 07. If that doesn't fall through I too will be applying for 2008 but in the fall. I wont know anything until July 08. Whoa that seems so far away. This time I know I will get in. Good luck to everyone, I know I will need it.

[Crouton2004]

Put me on the list. I have 3 schools I will be applying to this fall for entrance either May 08 or Sept 08. Good luck to everyone!

I'm applying for the Spring '08 RN program. The deadline is 9-1-07. We're supposed to have an answer in 30 days. That would be nice! I hate to wait and wonder.

I am applying to Ohio State for fall 2008. Our deadline is December and I'm losing my mind!! Its really my only choice, but I'm applying to a few other Ohio schools.

I'm applying to seven schools for a fall 2008 start and then more in the spring if I don't get accepted. I know how competitive these programs are, so I'm trying to do everything that I can to get in. Good luck to you all!

Last week I learned that I was accepted to a DEMSN program starting in January!!! I turned my application in on April 15 and the intervening months have been STRESSFUL.

When I got the e-mail, I started whooping it up and jumping around. I ran outside to tell my wife and we started jumping around together. My 5-year-old just looked at us like crazy and then ran like the dickens to escape the mandatory "family hug"

Hang in there and keep your grades up. Visualize success but plan your contingencies just in case.

Best of luck to you all. I hope you're similarly blessed with good news in the coming months.

YES! I applied to start either an Accelerated BSN program Summer '08 or a hospital diploma program in January '08. I should hear from both programs by the end of November.
