Collin College Summer 2016 ADN

Published

HEY Folks!!

Just wondering how many of you there are out there who have applied for the accelerated Summer ADN Program at Collin College! I have not seen anything posted on the web and I would love to get in touch with everyone!

So excited!

We got our acceptance letters on 10/8 and then got the FastPass email on 11/9. I scheduled my appointment the next day (on a Tuesday)and I got my blue card the following Friday. It was fairly quick if you don't have anything on your background and have never been arrested. This is the Texas Board of Nursing busy season so if anyone has anything on their background the process will take a lot longer.

And the waitlisters? Do you know how many made it off the list?

My class hasn't really discussed acceptance, however, 2 girls that I've gotten close to were both on the waiting list and got in. There are probably more.

What is the Class schedule like? I applied for the Fall but I find my self in a dilemma, my daughter who is 4years old is set to start preschool and registration just started... but my problem is its from 7:55 am to 10:55 am, and Im the only one who can take her and pick her up :/ I emailed (MODERATOR EDIT OF NAME) but haven't heard back.

Thats going to be a problem then. You may want to considered waiting another year until she starts kindergarten. I have 5 kids but they are all school age and I've had to spend a lot of time away from the house. The schedule is Mon-Thurs usually 8:30 - 3:30. I hope you find a plan that works for you. Nursing school requires a lot of sacrifice.

I understand, however, 2 of my 5 kids went to pre k and I did not see that much of a difference. In fact, my younger 2 that did not go to pre k are doing a lot better in school then my kids that did go to pre k.

Thanks I really glad in hearing this! Since I do have 3 under the age of 4, I will have to find some sort of child care facility... I'm thinking collins child care in the spring creek campus but I will have to find out how long the waitlist is.

@mylife7, as far as the white shoes that we'll be needing, do they have to be like ALL white, or is ok if there is a little color, like on the trim or Nike check mark?

Hi Claire_bear123, the logo such as a Nike Swoosh can have color.

What kind of backpack would you suggest?

A backback that's big or one the has wheels. I have a pretty large backpack but I am going to invest in something that rolls because the backpack gets so heavy. I'm at school most of the day so I like to keep the books that are pertinent with me which just so happen to be heavy books.
