Jeff State Summer 2009 Hopefuls

Published

Hey guys!

Since the spring applicants are recieving acceptance letters, I thought it would be about time to make a Summer '09 thread so we can all get to know each other and hopefully have some friends before school starts. Maybe we should tell a little about ourselves?

Starting in the Summer scares me(it's so much work!), but it's really my only option. I'm very very dedicated and I will do everything I can to make sure I'm successful in my courses. I don't have a job or a family to take care of so hopefully I'll be able to studystudystudy! I won't be taking any classes in the Spring because I'll have all my points(200, if I can pass math with an A or a B) so I'm going to volunteer my time with TEARS... it's an animal rescue and rehabilitation nonprofit company.

I am so excited to start nursing school!

Please be here today, please be here today!

I'm tired of being nervous when I open the mailbox!

I was accepted to the Shelby Campus!!!!! :D

I was thinking, for those of us that make it (to either campus), maybe we should meet up for coffee or something to get to know each other before orientation and the start of the semester? It's always nice to recognize some friendly faces. Even if we're not at the same campus, we could always study dosage calculations and medical terminology together before school starts!

I'm in at Jefferson! YAY! I am so excited!

Congrats itssarayay!

If y'all wanted to, we could have a get-together at my house. Kids and spouses are welcome, too. We could have drinks and get to know everyone.

That sounds like a good idea :D.

By the way, if anyone wants to know, the point cut off was 180.

I'm in! 3rd times a charm! Prolly gonna wait for the Fall semester, tho.

Anyone know anything about the orange paper that says you might wualify for financial assitance? I am no longer eligible for federal loans--- which is stupid, because I've only borrowed about 3 semesters worth-- so I'm absolutely relying on scholarships at this point.

Hi all

CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL

I got in at Shelby too! However will have to call and say NO. I am literally about to cry! Long story short, when I got married, My husband and I both owned homes, we never sold mine...we remodeled it and put it on the market when I decided I wanted to go to nursing school. Well I promised I would not quit work until it was gone....and it is still sitting! Two mortgages payments are pretty steep for him to make alone....so, I have to say NO. I am heartbroken. I guess I will be applying to the night/weekend program in the fall and HOPING I get in with my 190 points!!!

Did you consider renting out your house? Where is it located?

You def. need to look into that. I called today about it. It has absolutely nothing to do with federal loans. Call ASAP. It never hurts to try!:)

thanks for the encouragement..YES, we just rented the house out! Which is GREAT to be relieved of that 2nd mortgage payment for a while! But when her lease is up, if she does not renew, my husbands income plus what I can make working in a hospital or whatever pt is not enough to cover the 2 mortgages until we can try again to sell it. Unfortunatly...me quitting my job is a BIG income loss for us...BIG!!
