I am playing the "6-8 week" waiting game to find out if I have been accepted into LPN for fall 2011, and I am just wondering if anyone has an idea of a projected date we will be getting something in the mail?!?!

Prior threads from fall 2010 indicate as late as August... wow... and here I am stressin' about waiting until as late as July 27th to find out where my future is going. LOL

Here's to not sweatin' the small (and BIG) stuff! :p

My GPA is 3.3, I got the 10 points from the TABE and I have an AA. I've applied to the LPN program, but I've also applied to another program as well (and I've received an acceptance letter to that program for Fall/2011). I can bridge to RN with either program, but what a waste of time...I hate that people have to jump thru so many hoops, but the economy has dictated these measures to become an RN for some of us with less than a 3.8 GPA (which is the average for entry into the RN program at most local schools). Anyway, I've got my "in"...so regardless of my yea/ney letter or package from Ms. Buford, I'm on my way. My advice to you guys that don't make it in, look into other avenues, if becoming an RN is the ultimate goal. There's more than one way to skin a cat (I've always hated that saying, its so gross):cheers:

Congrats, I know it can be frustrating that it isn't as simple as paying for nursing school, making the grades, and then passing the NCLEX (as if that is simple)... now the requirements are almost unrealistic for anyone with a full plate. But its great that you were accepted into a backup plan... what program were you accepted into? I plan to bridge as well.
