   No, I believe my timing is correct. In August 2006 I got on the waitlist. In September 2007, they called me and said I could start for Fall. I got off the list but was placed on it again in April 2008 and the letter said it would be 1.5 year wait.

    ardentanglophile replied to MNKJC's topic in Washington

    ardentanglophile replied to MNKJC's topic in Washington

    Although I have not attended SCCC, my experience dealing with the staff in the Nursing Department has been fraught with disappointment and frustration. And if this is any indication of the program, then I would be concerned. Actually I have not heard...
