On my list of things to do:

I plan to continue after my ASN to my BSN from Elms College so I'm working on required courses for that program as well.

I look forward to getting to know others who are going through the process! Enjoy the day!

I got my spot at GWCC, need to finish all the paperwork but I'm in!!!

I think I'm very lucky since this was the only nursing program that I applied!

Thanks for the info. He said last year was no indication of how far down they might go this year. In 10 years he's seen them take as few as 6 and as many as 23 off the waitlist. Congratulations to you! Did you do anything different this year than last year to get a seat?

Does anyone know when NV will updated us from General Studies to Nursing? Registration for NU 101 opens Tuesday, but if we aren't listed as Nursing, we will get the "Major Restriction" error and it won't let us register. I put my letter to accept my seat in the mail Friday afternoon, so they must have received it by now!!!

Hi Jan286 I received your inbox message but it won't let me respond so I'm replying on here.

I have the teas manual, I just never looked at it much lol but this time around I'm going to study that thing until I get a 90 on the teas!! I'm taking it over in July. Also I am retaking chemistry over for the fall. I had a C so I'm going for an A. I've never took micro yet, that is another class I signed up for for the fall and lifespan development. If I get all A's in all 3 classes my gpa will be a 3.54. Hopefully that will be good enough for next years program!

Some of those will not count towards your nursing GPA. They only take the classes that are required for their program, so don't count gen bio, nutrition, and only count 1 elective. Your stats are good tho! Are you applying this fall? If so, you could re-take the computer course in the fall so you have something to do.
