Hi!!!
I actually was planning on starting a thread for this as well, so thanks for doing that!
It sounds like to me you're a perfect candidate. I wouldn't worry about what you did in the past--they say they don't really care about your previous degree's GPA (only prerequisite GPA), so it seems to me that the same rule would apply to previous experiences. I wish the absolute best for you!!!
I too turned in my application on Jan 15th, but I'm hoping we hear something about interviews soon! :)
Thank you for the words of encouragement, mkh319! *Fingers crossed* that we both get an interview. I called the SON today and they told me applications are still being processed. If you are qualified, you will receive either a phone call or an email to schedule an interview--so watch out if you get a letter in the mail!
Hello everyone,
I applied to the CARE program as well and received my interview email today. I'm scheduled for the 19th. Nervous is an understatement! I wrapped up my BS in biology in May and have been shadowing an ID doc in that time, working on a case study. Hopefully that helps me!

I turned in my application on Jan. 15th so it is probably too early to hear back anything, but I wanted to start a thread anyway. This is my 2nd time applying to the CARE program (missed Statistics the first time). I think I have a pretty strong application (all A's and B's, good recommendations, 6 years working as a Patient Care Technician, etc) but I am worried about one thing: at the last nursing school I attended, I got kicked out for cheating. This was over 5 years ago and I obviously wasn't in the right frame of mind--I had recently gotten out of an abusive relationship and I was living in a state with no family or friends or connections. I also chose to work full-time and I didn't have a car. All of these things were obstacles when I was at the other program. I was about 2 weeks in before the incident. I sent in the the ineligibility letter and also a statement to explain what happened. I am hoping they will show some mercy for this past mistake.
Anyway, enough about me :) Has anyone heard anything? Good luck to everybody!
