Published

Im having a terrible time waiting for my letter of decision from GC. I pretty much stalk the mail man..and it is not even eight weeks :uhoh3:..I am looking for friends along this waiting process..has anyone heard anything about when the letters will go out?.. 8 weeks like the website says.. or will they take longer possibly until Oct. 30??.. I have heard that some people have already gotten denial letters. Do they send them out first? :eek: Soo ready to just have the letter in my hand so i can stop living in limbo. Anyone having this problem? :banghead:

thanks for letting me know. I will need the Tuesday one.

Is anyone taking any other classes along with the nursing ones to get 12 hours?

Hi CanaansMom: I know you said that you were not accepted, but did your letter at least say that you were on a temporary waiting list?

I'm honestly not sure what to do now. Any suggestions?

Well I guess there are a few things you can do. If you are still interested in nursing you can apply to other schools. I dont know where you live but I would research schools that are 45 minutes or less away from you. You prob won't want to drive much longer than that. I go to WGTC, it's awful, I wouldnt waste your time applying, 3 teachers walked out at the beginning of the semester. You could try for an LPN program then do a bridge to RN. That way you could get a job as an LPN while going to school to be an RN. LPNs have different pre-reqs so you'd have to look into that. If you are done with nursing I would just research colleges near you and look at their programs that have to deal with health sciences. That way you are still doing things in the health field. I also have heard of people getting their phlebotomy certificate and getting jobs at clinics and they move up from there. If you have anymore questions you can just email me at [email protected]

Just ordered all required books off of amazon except for the medsurg book. Very excited for them to get here :)

I have all of the books in my cart but I haven't paid yet $580 through amazon is still a bit high. I think I will take a few out and wait to see what we will use. I did pay for my background check set up a dr. apt and signed up for the Cpr class today though. It feels a little better getting some of this list done. I am going to the one on the 12th of December.

Megan, I have the cheapest listed for some but the ones w/cd I went with ones that are still shrink wrapped. I will probably wait on those to find out if we will actually use the software. If we don't I will buy the cheapest but I got stuck buying 2 Biology books before because of the access codes being used previously.
