BHSN-Bridgeport Hospital School of Nursing Fall 2011

Started a new thread, since the other threads on this topic look like they are from last year.

Okay,

I just got my acceptance letter in the mail today!!

I was going totally mental with anxiety, checking this board several times a day to see when people were hearing back, compared to when they had applied and what their stats were. I was also very nervous about how I had done on the TEAS, so I wanted to post my info to help other people a little. Here are my stats:

I applied to the school January 4th, 2010. I took the TEAS January 23rd, 2010.

Previous BA degree in anthropology. I graduate in August of 2009 with a 3.46 cumulative GPA.

I took A&P I last fall, at Gateway: B

Developmental Psych: A

TEAS: 81.2% (mean national was 72.8% and the mean for the program 73.3%)

My adjusted individual scores were as follows:

Reading: 82.5%

Math: 82.2%

Science: 70%

English: 85.5%

In all my nervousness, I called two days ago and was told that I would likely hear back from the in school 4-6 weeks. Then I got my letter today, February 5th. For the record, my admissions essay was based on a CNA training course I took in the fall and I also think that having a previous BA really helped, especially in seeing past that nasty 70% in the science section of the TEAS.

Good luck and I hope this information was helpful, or at least of interest, to some of you!!

No I'm in he same boat, still waiting. I was going to call too if mine didn't come because if they were really maed out last week, they should have come by now. No mail yet today though, but I can only assume if wannabe's didn't come, mine won't either.

Perhaps they didn't mail them out till the end of the week. Hopefully Wannabe will find out when she calls. I feel for you guys… this kind of wait is brutal! It can't be much longer though. Best of luck! I hope to hear some good news soon! :)

she said that the information that they all went out was incorrect and that they are sending some every day and that she is hoping by the end of next week for them all to be out. she looked me up and said that mine was in the stack to go out tomorrow..so today!! i asked if she would just tell me the result and she said sorry.. she couldnt.. but i'll only have to wait a couple more days!

That's great news!!! Well… not about the incorrect info, but about yours being mailed out today! Keep us posted. :)

That was exactly what she told me last week, except she said they were all going out last tues. Grr. I'm kinda ****** off and don't know if I can believe anyhing they say now.

i know i dont want to get too excited about it because for the last month ive been thinking that it was going to come at the end of the week...then the next week.. then the next week.. i just want it!!

I finally got my letter today and I got in!:lol2:

HURRAY!!!!! :yeah: :w00t:

That's such great news! Congrats! Guess it makes the wait worth it in some way. :) So are you going to accept?

Of course I'll accept. I know it's going to be really stressful for the first semester trying to do A&P II with the program, but I've worked a lot my whole life and I'm comfortable giving up any semblance of a life for one semester. I love the subject matter so I know I'll be able to handle it, though easy it will not be. Lol.

Once everyone gets their letters we should get all get together for coffee over the summer to get to know each other before the program starts. What do you think?

Yay! Then congrats to my new classmate! :D

I have been planning meetings with a few others who found out early on like I did. It's been so long since someone else on this board has been accepted! :) We'll definitely have to include you in. Do you have FB? I'll send you a PM with my info.

Yeah I do have FB.

Congratulations

I was worth the wait now that you got your letter:yeah:
