baligirl · Oct 3, 2011

Is there anyone out there who applied to this program? I'm feeling a little lonely here!

As of this afternoon, my status still reads 'submitted' ---this is going to be a long month!

Hi baligirl,

I have also applied for the LVN-BSN cohort for 2012 I have not heard anything yet. I am not so sure if I will get in all in all it will depend on my essay. I feel kind of on edge but I am trying not to think about it too much :coollook:

Yay for there being another one of us--and an OC girl, too!!

Yeah, I'm totally on pins and needles sitting here...we're getting much closer to an answer, it just seems like we've been waiting forever!

I wish you the best of luck. If you did well on everything else, I can't imagine you'd write a poor essay--I'm sure you'll be just fine :)

I think there were 40ish applicants, our odds are at least better than going against 240, right?

Our odds are better but I am a bit nervous because I do not know how everyone else did I did not score as good on the teas as I wish I could have. When I took my teas they asked us not to contact them until the 1st of November. I am thinking they might not decide who gets in until around the last week in October. My status still says submitted as of this morning so I don't think they are reviewing the applications yet. They mentioned there was another cohort that is starting around the same time as LVN-BSN so maybe thats why it is taking so long??

I was wondering if your application status changed at all? Ugh I'm going crazy as the time gets closer...yikes! :eek:

I just checked and it says as of this morning final review. I am so nervous. Good luck to you I hope we both get in!

Okay good--mine says that too! Omg I wonder when we'll find out?! She said sometime in the last week of October, so I'm hoping next week? Did you read the thread about the changing guidelines for NU's program?

Haha I think I replied to that from my phone while just waking up--I hope we both get in, too! We'll have to get the OC gals together and be carpool/study buddies! :nurse:

Are you working as an LVN now? I'm not. I work at a local hospital as a CNA/PCT--it's gonna be tough while in school, but I'm sure there are plenty of us doing the same thing :lol2:

I am working as an LVN I have been in the field about six years. I am a little worried about how I am going to work around my schedule but I will have to make it work. I wish I could carpool but I actually live in East San Diego County but I have met a few people that do commute from orange county, Did you do the retake of the TEAS and essay that they offered us because of the noise? I didn't because I was worried that I might do as well.
