Hi All,
I haven't posted here in months but I have to post. I just called the NS I applied to b/c I haven't heard anything yet and the woman told me I should have my acceptance letter by the end of next week!!! She said that students that where changing programs (like me) were being processed now. I said my niece got her letter a long time ago and she said that is b/c my niece is a new student and those were sent out a long time ago but existing students get mailed closer to registration and that begins in a few weeks for Fall!!! I now have to make a huge decision, work another year and take one more year at night and knock out micro and sociology or jump right into the nursing program and take micro and sociology along with my nursing classes. The woman said I am listed as extended track which gives me 3 years to complete the program rather than 2 so I have 3 years from the Fall semester to graduate. I guess I wasn't expecting to actually be accepted into the program so I am not prepared for the reality of it . Sometimes I think that even doing this right now may not be the smartest thing for me (I'm 38 and will be 39 when the Fall semester begins). I wasn't scared before but now I'm scared. The "what ifs" going through my head are overwhelming.
I think I was better off not knowing anything.............lol.

Congratulations.
I'm waiting and am in a knot.
I've applied to a satellite campus of Vermont Technical College. One friend is already accepted at the main campus, and a friend of a friend was not accepted at another satellite campus. I'm pretty sure I'm qualified and it'll just come down to how many slots are open and the small differences among the candidates.

First.........CONGRATULATIONS!
Second...not sure what you are asking.....are you saying that the NS you were accepted to doesn't start for a year or are you thinking of kicking of more courses and delaying your entry?
