I am also waiting for a response. I have received some feedback regarding financial aid but was told that is only routine. I contacted admissions and was told my application is going under review. I am so anxious to hear a response, each day I literally skip to the mailbox.:clown:

I am currently accepted for the fall 2010 upper divison nursing program at Barnes and is very excited. If your on the waiting list that means that you will be contacted if some of the semester you applied for drop. But if you dont get in the semester you originally applied for you will be guarateed a spot in the following semester....Good Luck!!!!:)

I have applied and am on the Spring 2011 waiting list for the Upper Division. I was wondering the same thing...how fast does the waiting list go. I am pretty high on it so want to know if they take several off of it or just a few!

The waiting list goes rather quick. A lot of people apply to more than one school, put themselves on the waiting list, and then either change their mind to another college or become intimidated with the program and withdrawal from the list. I was accecpted in June of 2008 and was offered a slot in the January 2009 class. I turned it down and started in May of 2009, graduated in May 2010.

If anyone has any questions about instructors or the college overall you can post a reply or email me at [email protected].

Thanks for the info! I am becoming intimidated and haven't even started! LOL So how is the schedule and the whole environment? I am very nervous!

The schedule is hectic and the environment is intimidating. But you just have to buckle down and commit to it. It's a hard year, but you learn so much and challenge yourself so much. It's worth it. Some instructors are great, others suck. In my opinion at the end of the day the great instructors make up for the lousy ones. You will need to take a great initiative regardless of how good of a job your instructors do (or don't do.)

If you want to get a bachelors in nursing in a year you MUST be prepared to sacrifice the time it takes to accomplish a four year degree in one year. The folks who gripe about their college's being "hard" or "insufficient" by their standards often are the ones who don't do the work. Complaining will not help. Don't feed into the negative energy. I hated everyone telling me "you will get out of nursing school what you put in to it" but having come out of an accelerated program on the other side I can say that that statement is absolutely 100% true. Do the work and rest assure you will be rewarded. It's just that simple.

If I can do the program, anyone can. I had a job before I graduated and will take NCLEX next month. I put the work in and got a job at my top hospital of choice. Trust me, it WILL pay off. :nurse:
