Either way, good or bad, I just want them. My stress levels are through the roof, I feel like I'm suffering from a low grade depression born of fear of rejection...ugh. And I'm still deathly terrified they took the wrong Phys Ed grade (I had a 2 credit class back in 07 before I chose nursing) that I got a B in, and took a 1 credit last year for the pre-reqs that I got an A in) and screwed up my gpa even though I made my counselor even make a note of it and point it out. UGHHHHHH:crying2:

Well, everyone, March is finally here!

We can now say that we'll be receiving our notification letters this month! Yeah! I'm really, really excited--and nervous--as a lot of hard work is about to begin.

Also, has anyone heard whether or not there will be an accelerated program this year? I believe there will be, based on the number of sections of pharmacology being offered this summer. Eight were offered last summer; it appears that nine are being offered this time around. Could that mean they've re-allocated 60 spots for the accelerated program, giving 30 more people an opportunity to attend the program?

Whatever the case, good luck to all of us! It's countdown time! :)

Hi jenny! Welcome to the group!

I feel the same as you. We should be relaxed and excited but I'm as on edge as ever!

Thank goodness for this community.

Do we get the option to take pharmacology in the summer if we're doing the traditional program? If so, how do u guys feel about taking it online?

n1990 · Mar 2, 2011

Im not really sure if there offering it but i do remember a guy in my class asking a counselor if there would be a summer class and the counselor said ya..so that might be the class they are offering..i personally would not take it online because i do much better with professors helping me

I dont want to bum anyone out but there is no fundamentals of nursing class being offered this summer, so that should be a good indicator that there is no accelerated class this year. Ive been hearing this all year in the program from some instructors because the DMC has not hired any of the last 90 nurses that they sponsored the last 2 years. I also heard one of you say that the nursing dept is ready to send out acceptance letters, if thats true it means they are not waiting for the DMC to sponsor anyone this year. last year they waited til the end of march to send out letters because they were waiting on DMC for make up their minds.

good luck to all of you future nursing students

Are the summer pharmacology classes at Southfield only for LPN students?
