Nursing acceptance question

U.S.A. Rhode Island

Published

Hello All I just have a general question.

If I applied to the CCRI nursing program February 1, 2012 when should I hear back by?

Thank you!:)

I have my bachelors from RIC and received aid - still paying it off and I have used aid for some but not all courses here with no issue - very strange that you need to do this! What a PIA!!

Yup. Well the best part was no one even emailed me, notified me...nothing. I noticed when i went under myccri and clicked on financial aid. I busted my you-know-what paying cash for the pre-reqs as i wanted to be responsible and loan the least amount possible...LOL Well jokes on me i guess? I am hoping an official acceptance letter will suffice, but alas, i cant get a straight answer out of ANYBODY! I did already write my appeal letter, since im nto really sure what i should be writing, i explained how i could not find gainful employment with my previous degree, therefore i need to get this degree to get employment and my financial circumstances cannot afford tuition haha. I hate CCRI. I did email Ms. Clifton, so i am hoping she has more insight for me. I have heard on the FB group a lot of people have had this issue and appealed and turned out OK...which makes me feel better, but i cannot wait until July...IN CASE i do get denied i need to find an alternate way to afford this...UGHHH

So RI has the lowest unemployment rate ever and i owe the government no money....i am trying to better myself and get employment and they deny me loan money???:banghead:

well heres for hoping they let me get SOME LOL!!! Absolutely ridiculous. haha. Like i said i'd feel better if people were helpful in letting me know when i can appeal, when our major will change, when we ill be enrolled etc haha.

This is going to be a long 2 years...

Ok guys, I'm freeeeking out right now! I just got a call from the nursing dept and they said I have to meet with ms. Clifton (warwick campus) next week??? I still haven't received a formal letter yet and they woman I spoke to does not know what the meeting is in regards to....does anyone know what's up? Or did you get a call like this? Soooo nervous, you think they would give a heads up on what the meeting is so I don't get caught off guard!

OMG - I have not heard anything yet- I know a few of my friends have been contacted to enroll at the warwick campus... No one I know has received a letter yet. I am in the lincoln nights program and am anxiously awaiting some news - let us know what the meeting is about!! Crossing my fingers for you!

Hello tropics, I'm not sure what this could be about. I have received my official acceptance and registered for class online. Did your BCI come back clean?

My bci said that I was caught driving on a suspended license almost five years ago, for an unpaid ticket...that's it nothing else on my record. So maybe that's whats it about??? I just didn't think that was actually something that would hinder my acceptance---I will be devastated if this is what's going on ?

Relax! That's probably what it's about, but I seriously doubt it will prevent you from nursing school. Just a formality they do.

Thanks arbor....i hope its only a formality. Maybe they just want me to explain the situation and be up front with them. I honestly didn't even think it would show up bc they told me it wasn't going to be on my record after a certain time frame....trying to stay positive-1 wk til the meeting! ?

good luck all!

Hey arbor...you were definitely right! If a positive hit comes back on bci they must investigate the situation first. Everything is good and I should be getting my official sent out by the end of the week ???
