College of the Mainland, Texas City

Published

Has anyone had any experience attending Nursing school at College of the Mainland in Texas City, Texas? I have looked at thier pass rates with the state. How is the program there? Any advice on application/ acceptence?

Hi rocket ryder, I think I ended the semester with about 138 points, I'm not truly sure. They called me to see if I was still interested in taking Health Assessment this summer, but unfortunately I have to work and couldn't do it.

Hey believerliz, did you ask to take Health Assessment before to where they called you are did they just randomly call? I wonder if that means they have an idea of who they plan on accepting. Is the June 3rd an official date for the letters to be mailed out or is that a maybe date? The suspense is killing me. :redbeathe

No, the nursing counselor told them that I was interested to take Health Assessment during the summer, so the nursing department made me filled out a request form for the class. They won't called you unless you fill out a request form to take the class and depending on how many spots they have available for pre-nursing students, then they'll call you to let you know if you can take it. I filled it out because of the counselor, but I knew I couldn't take the class in the summer due to my work schedule, but I figured I could try. I just hope it won't affect my chances to get in the ADN program.:confused:

About the date, I'm not sure....I know it does not take long after the deadline to decline or accept students. I know what you mean, I applied to other schools and I feel so anxious and the agony is killing me as well!!!!:uhoh3:

When I called last week it was set for letters to be mailed out on the 3rd, but it could have changed. I plan on calling tomorrow to check. I will post up when I find out for sure. I HATE the suspense!

Well... COM is my last hope for the fall. I let all the BSN deadlines sneak up on me and didn't have my paperwork together. And some ADN programs were just outright ridiculous with their requirements. I feel at home at COM and my mom got her RN there years ago. I just want someone to let me in! I hope June 3 is the decision date. I read up on previous years and the latest date I saw was June 10. My life is practically on hold until I get a response. Anyone else having to make major life decisions based on a nursing school acceptance? (sounds crazy but true)

@rocket_ryder- Please do let us know. I never have time to call during the day because of my job.

@believerliz- Thanks for the info. I was so busy doing course substiturions during my meeting with the nursing advisor we didn't discuss much. I will be working as well so It wouldnt have worked for me either. Looking at the registration page, it looks like the class started today. (half full)

I definitely have my life on hold until I get into a program! I know the feeling VERY well! Its actually felt that way since last June when I got laid off and decided that this is the route I wanted to go and then started my science pre-reqs.... If I don't get in anywhere I will literally feel as though I have wasted this past year of my life! I can't really do anything until I know which program I am into, if any! My husband and I have BOTH put our loves on hold, waiting for me to get my degree so we can move forward. He makes enough for us to live, but without an income on my side it is pretty boring....

I REALLY want UTMB for the Spring....if that is the case I would love to get a job from now until January to save $$$. But I may have to actually start an ADN program in the fall because UTMB doesn't send out interview invites until August! COM is my last choice, so if I get in I at least KNOW im in something! And then if I get into San Jac or UTMB then its just icing on the cake and I will make an alternate super happy! I will know if I am in San Jac by mid July, leaving plenty of time for them to fill an alternate spot... I am just hoping and praying that everything comes out in my favor, but I am trying to not get my hopes up too high.... I feel as though I would be a happier person ( I know my husband would be happier) if I knew already! Stress is eating me alive!
