Pre-Nursing "Support" Group

Published

I thought I would make a thread dedicated to all of us waiting for an Acceptance letter, NET results, or even for those of you who are done waiting....getting ready to start up NS soon! Let's all band together and support one another in these stressful times~ no one understands us better than each other! Go future nurses!!!! :yeah::nurse:

I knew it was you when I saw in my email that "bath" had replied to the message! I was wondering how your test went, and what was going on, but didn't want to ask just in case it didn't go as well as you would have hoped... ;) I told a bunch of people, "if i never mention it again... don't mention it." LMAO!!!

LOL

:)

LOL, I know what you mean! After I took the it I kept telling people..."at least if I didn't do well I can study more and take it again in a month." I was so nervous when I opened my results that my hands were shaking! I ended up with a 97.1!

You'll do great. You are intelligent and well prepared. Go in there believing you can do it and you will! Besides, tomorrow is my birthday and my b-day wish is that you do well on your test so I KNOW you'll do great!!

Good luck!!:)

Looks like you applied to LMC also. Tell me if I'm wrong. I just got home and tore that letter open to find out the same thing. They did the same thing last year also. Only diff. is that it the process occurred closer to June, which is a very long time to find out if you're in or out. I already applied 2 times prior to this and it is now my third time. Hopefully, three is the lucky charm. Good luck to you too. See you at the doors if you go. I never really plan to go because I assume you are on the list of eligibility if 1: we get that letter and 2: we got that first letter telling us our status when we sent out the applications. But I always fool myself into thinking I better check just to make sure I'm still listed... So we'll see again this year as to what happens. :uhoh3:

Juls

Three times, Juls?! You deserve to get in for all your tenacity. I hope the third times is a charm. Are you on some wait lists as well? I am not going to bother to check if I am eligible since I have received letters saying I am. That is just stress producing, why do that?

So is the door posting just so that people who don't want to wait for the mail to go out can check a few days earlier? Do they have stampedes? For now I am saying I am not checking the door, but I know me, and I know I will never be able to stand knowing that the answer is there, calling me to find out. Though, I sort of want the disclosure private. If I whoop or cry. How late is the college open?

Good luck!

Hotflashn,

I am on a couple of waitlist schools but LMC has always been my first choice. I started my NS pre-reqs there and would like to finish off the process there as well. I've been told by others who have gone through that program that they enjoyed it versus other CC's. Don't getme wrong, it was a hard process but they liked it. Unlike my sister and her close friends who went to CCC. She said she learned alot and most of the instuctors taught her well thus the high nclex pass rates but she also said there are one or two instructors there that made being there more difficult especially for one of her friends. And now she teaches there part-time for clinicals and says she feels sorry for us upcomming NS students because they expect so much more out of us now and the content has become more complex then ever.

Anyhow GOOD LUCK to you. And yes the list on the door is just to see if you are eligible which is also hard to take because last year there were I think eight sheets of paper and the list list was full of names two or three columms long. So that gives you an idea of how many apply. Then you go to see if you made it or not and your reaction of happiness or sadness for all the public to see which is just for an advance knowhow before your slow-mail comes. I don't know how long the campass if open till probably 9pm or so but just check it the next day instead just to be sure.

Hey everyone!! I think it's great that you all have kept using my thread :). I see that some of you are still waiting on hearing from your schools...I just wanted to drop in and say good luck to all of you still waiting. Please come back here in a let me/all of us know the outcome!

On a different note, I registered for my nursing classes yesterday all the way till the end of the year! Since our program is accelerated, we didn't have much of a choice for how our schedule looked. But first semester (Starting this May 12th) will include Assessment, Nursing and Health, Pathophysiology, and Nursing Informatics.

This fall (Starting August 18th) We have Pharmacology, Adult Heath 1(aka Med/Surg), Psychiatric Nursing, Nursing Research, and I have to take an extra class in Advanced Writing. So. I am VERY excited now that I have a schedule and all...but now I realize how much work is ahead of me and I'm sort of freaking out now!! Haha. I know I can do it!

But, before I can really focus on all of that, I still have finals coming up in a week and a half. So, for now, I've gotta put all this excitement and nervousness aside while I focus on finishing up the pre-requisites!

Again, good luck to all! I'm sure you'll get in! Let me know how it goes!!

Have a wonderful day everyone!! :weathersunsmall:

Yeah for you!

Today I got a letter from one of the ADN lottery school nursing depts. I tore into it like crazy. All it said was that eligible applicants' ID numbers will be posted on some door on Wednesday and those chosen for lottery will have their IDs posted on May 1 at 5 pm. What is this? The results of the auditions for a high school play or volleyball try-out? Can they not send a letter, email or make a call? Lame. I really don't feel like trudging out there (it is across a toll bridge and several towns away) during commute time to check the door like I am in 10th grade or something. Especially if I am one of 400+.

At least I will know about that school in a couple weeks. Probably a month away from any hope of finding out about the BSN program, and 6 months away from finding out about the other ADN programs. Sigh.

Good for you though, that is great news.

I feel for you, I am in the same boat as you & it can be so darn frustrating:banghead:!!!! I found out awhile ago that I had moved from #85 to #44 on my CC LVN wait list so then I called & asked when did they think I would start & I was told they were accpeting 45 students and I would start this Fall 2008 but when I called yesterday it was back to between 30 to 45 students:scrying: I was so depressed after that call I thought I was in but now I am freaking out and thinking maybe I got a little too ahead of myself!!!! I am going to try and register for CNA classes at my CC if I can but then I was told that has a wait list too come on already:banghead::banghead::eek:!!!! if I hear another wait list I will scream:scrm:!!!! My CC told me they would mail out acceptance letters for the LVN Program the end of May, can you believe it that would give anyone who is accepted 2 months to get everything completed:grn:!!!! Hang in there I know it's hard but we will eventually get in!!!! keep me posted ok:stdnrsrck::weathersunsmall::weathersunsmall::weathersunsmall:!!!!

My school sends out emails which could go out as early as today, as late as next Wednesday 11:59pm. Thats a long time!!!! I have been trying not to check my email every 5 seconds.

Coolpeach, it is so hard not to check repeatedly all day long! I think it is actually easier to wait for postal mail, sometimes. Then it is just once a day. One of the schools I applied to gives out an email address that they use to contact students, including admission acceptance or rejection letters. So far, the emails have been the equivalent of college spam. Still every couple of days I end up sending myself a test email, just to make sure it is working.

This too will pass. At least you know that you will have your answer in less than a week, no matter what. I will find out about one program on the 1st of May and another isn't due to give results until the end of May. Hopefully, they will do as they have in the past and have results at the start of May instead. Honestly, I feel like I can handle the results one way or the other, I just can't handle the wait and not knowing!

Hi everyone,

This is my first post here. I too applied for LMC this year (for the third time). This year was especially important because, if you can believe it, I've been working on this for 10 years now. Right out of high school I took anatomy, chemistry and all my general ed pre-reqs, then I got married and had a couple of babies and took some time off. I started back again in 2004 finishing my last class, physio, and have been applying since. Those of you applying at LMC (I'm not sure about other schools) know that they have a recency requirement for the sciences, so if I didn't get in this year, my anatomy would expire...then all my others except physio. Needless to say, I didn't get in, again. I am on the alternate list, but I'm #17 so I really have no hope, or at least I doubt I do. I am trying to keep positive, hoping and praying that with their new TEAS requirements there might be enough people who don't make it and I'll get to take their spot. I'm feeling really, really discouraged...I'm not even sure what I can do now....do any of you have any suggestions? I can't imagine starting this journey over. What would you guys do if you were me? :crying2:

I'm in the same boat as you. I took all my pre-reqs way back in 99/00. If I don't get in, I will have to retake them all before I can reapply to the program. I think I will get in though because it is a points based system. The 4 classes they look at, I have A's and I got a 91 on the TEAS.

I'm crossing my fingers. Waiting until May 30th for the letters to go out and I want to beat my head against the wall. I'm not a good waiter.

I wish I had the option of a points system. Unfortunately, my school is all lottery and really based on luck alone. It's awful to think that, even if my classes didn't expire, next year, or the year after, I could still not even be picked as an alternate. It doesn't seem right.

I don't know what I'm going to do....I'm really, really discouraged at this point. :cry:
