Hey Everyone!

I noticed that there isn't a thread for Fall 2015 or Spring 2016 and I'd love to start one!

I know that everyone just turned in their applications or will soon.

It would be great to start a chat and share our points with one another.

Hope to talk to you guys soon!! (:

Hello Samuel Morris. I got an email from the nursing department too! Praise God! I had 56 as well. I'm wishing good luck on everyone!

Hi SamuelMorris and aileen.mae10, When did you guys receive emails? I got 59 points and had not received an email for offer :-(

I got mine yesterday. We don't know, maybe you're in the Fall? I enter Spring 2016. They recalculated the points after we submited them. If you think you're correct with your score (submitted proofs to support it) you should definitely ask them about it.

@ aileen.mae10, Thanks for the courage and information. I definitely feel a little bit better. I should contact them during these days. I really wish this waiting game is over!

Yeah I totally understand you, and knowing that you have higher points than us I don't know what you feel now. If you call them up, you won't get much information. Tried it. If you go in person, they tend to give more info. Just don't mention our names please :)

Yeah, that sucks. I would give them a call. I did a few weeks ago to confirm my email was correct and also to verify that I had the number of points I thought I did. As long as your friendly it shouldn't be a problem, linda is very nice.

BTW, ATTENTION EVERYONE WHO IS ATTENDING SPRING 2016!!!!

----------------- (the person who is in charge) sent out the letter about the curriculum changing.

THE nursing counselor will be in the nursing building on june 17, this Wednesday to check over your transcripts. with the curriculum change, you have to have a additional 3 classes completed to attend the program (its beyond stupid, they're no longer making a&p and micro prerequisite for nursing school, they'll be taken concurrently with nursing classes, but making statistics, public speaking and lifespan development, guess the weeding out of the weaker students is gone.)

From what I was told, if you have not completed statistics, public speaking and lifespan development, you MUST complete them this summer or fall or it looks like they won't let you in. I'm guessing there is some lee-way in this considering it wasn't even stated or even shown during the application process. I would highly recommend anyone who got into spring and didn't go to the meeting on June 4th or is in the 50 point range to stop by the nursing office on Wednesday with a unofficial transcript and figure out if your okay or not.

If you think you have a possibility of getting in this spring, I'd highly recommend you take Statstics, Lifespan development and Public Speaking if you haven't already. You can easily get them done this fall.

Also, on another note. Pharmacology is no longer a requirement, *** IS THAT???? Guess well get to push drugs without knowing what they do. I for one am definitely taking in this fall anyways because that's just rediculous

For anyone who got accepted into Spring 2016, how's it going with trying to upload all the stuff into the online system? I'm having some trouble ...

I haven't even gotten that far yet. I'm still working on getting my drug test done, there's no lab near me. Have you tried calling? They seemed pretty helpful when I did.

Does anyone know if their alternate list is still open for spring 2016. Last I remember they said they would give out notices until December?

I am applying for Fall/Spring 16/17. Do you know if Pharmacology is no longer a requirement? And that you HAVE to get statistics, LD, and public speaking done before your term?

Pharmacology is not required anymore, it's recommended. I would take it during the summer or intersession.

The other classes are required to get your degree (ADN).
