I made a facebook group. It's a closed group under the name University of Southern Maine Accelerated Nursing 2018-2019 so people can join!

Yeah I think they do go in waves! So don't worry yet! They definitely post at different times

Yeah I'm assuming they've been mailed bc it seems like in the past they've posted it to Maine street after they've mailed them. I'm crossing my fingers for everyone!

I keep checking to see if it's real! Haha

I'm taking a prereq there starting January anyway so when I signed up they gave me the login info. but maybe it's in the email they sent after you applied? I'm assuming they've mailed letters since it's on my portal tho so hopefully they'll be coming.

If you guys know your maine street login, id go on and check. I had the green check mark next to my application status. ACCEPTED :) !!!!

Yeah no word yet. I'll post as soon as I hear!

Prereqs like a&p are hugely important to nursing school. I wouldn't recommend taking them 6-7 years in advanced because you likely won't remember it enough for it to be useful in your nursing classes. I saw a posting about someone who was in a med-surge class and hadn't really thoroughly learned a&p. he ended up having to drop med-surge because he didn't have the basic foundation

I'm right there with you. It's so nerve wracking. I have finals tomorrow and Thursday. Trying to focus on them while knowing we might find out soon has been torture!

I personal messaged the person that said they'd been rejected and she said that she got the rejection was via mail this year. I thought maybe she was talking about last year. Looks like they might have seen mail in waves. Who knows. I think admissions maybe hadn't gotten the nursing school's decisions yet when I spoke to them? I'm not sure. But I'm assuming what Brenda from nursing admissions is correct. At least I hope so because that means waiting will be over soon enough.

Same here! Hopefully it'll be soon

Me too! I want to know before Christmas haha. I saw on the ABSN-MSN option thread someone wrote admissions told them letters were going out the beginning of this week. I also called today to ask because I was dying to know and Brenda from nursing admissions said the letters would be going out this week but she didn't know exactly when. She said letters go out from the admissions office so I could call them to see if they've been sent. So I called and admissions said no decisions have been made? I'm assuming that Brenda from nursing is correct though.

Yeah I just thought the timing was kind of interesting because my then apparently people were starting to find out they didn't get in.

I got it on December 8th. I think that was Friday. I'm not sure if it really even means anything at all honestly. You probably didn't get one since you've filed yours!

I also have my undergrad degree in Psych! My story is also a little bit different. I wanted to be a nurse in high school, but didn't pursue it out of fear I couldn't do it (lame I know). Halfway through college, I realized I could handle the school work for nursing and began working on my prereqs and here I am. Currently waiting to hear back from an ABSN program. I agree with you- there is a ton of anxiety, pressure, stress, etc riding on this process.
