Well it is getting close. In a couple of weeks the nursing school application letters will start to go out. I have been waiting now for two years to get into the nursing program. I had applied for the Spring 2012 last summer. I did not get in, but I had made alternate. In December they gave me a call because they had some seats that had opened up. The only thing about that was classes started in Jan, clinicals the first of Feb., and I was pregnant and scheduled for my c-section in Mar. So I had to forfiet my seat because I was not going to be able to do my clinicals due to work restrictions. So I had to reapply for the Fall 2012. I hope I get in this time I will have more points then I did when I made alternate, but it all depends on the competition. So wish me luck!!!
Just wanted to say good luck! Hopefully an acceptance letter is already on its way.I had to give up seats in two BSN programs back in Fall 2010 due to an unexpected (but definitely welcomed) pregnancy, so I completely understand. I knew it was the only option, but I also knew programs were getting more competitive, so I was afraid of never getting back in. Thankfully those fears were unfounded, as I received an acceptance letter to my first choice BSN program for Fall 2012 (Marymount University) earlier this week! I am now back in pursuit of my academic goals & will have my beautiful daughter beside me at graduation. Win-Win. :)
Update: I have been checking the mailbox everyday this week and I have nothing, zip, nada! So I guess this game will continue next week. Well I have tomorrow also, but I doubt anything will come. So I will be checking back in next week to give another update.
Good luck! Our letters went out earlier than they told us they would so hopefully your wait will be ending sooner than you think! :-)
Im in South-CA, im listed as alternate too (@ Los Angeles Harbor College). I know how you're feeling now. I feel like in roller coaster.. at my school, we do not know how many alternates there are or how they select ppl. They do not want us to call and inquire the available slots. Just wait ! well, I hope you will get a call sooon sooon!
