Well....biggest surprise of my life... I just found out I am pregnant... I have a 5-year-old and then a 11-month-old... so I will probably have to drop out of this program. Anyone know of anyone that had a baby in this program?

I'm thinking way ahead, and I'm hoping to just get in at this point, but it's going to be so fun meeting you all at graduation in 15 months! Isn't that crazy? We would potentially be graduating in 15 months if we get to start! That alone is motivation!

Yeah I bet they were seeing who all had wiggle room there and then plan accordingly. Seems like they want you though since they reached out to ask you that! @atxmitch

I applied to Abilene! I was also told they would take 20 for Abilene but it also depended on the faculty...? So I guess 20-30

Same! I talked to Cindy on Monday asking if we would know anything by the 11th (yesterday) because yesterday was my last day to withdraw from the classes I'm taking.... she said, "Final decisions have not been made and most likely will not be made until after that date." So I am crossing my fingers for tomorrow! I'm taking two history courses, two government courses, and an art class online. Talk about dry! I need to know I'm admitted so I can gain motivation for these!

Same!! Every notification on my phone hypes me up!

Ugh yes! I'm glad I'm not the only one over here checking my email CONSTANTLY. I want to know so badly! I'm holding onto hope that we will find out this week! They told us we'd know about interviews mid-August and we got that email August 2nd. So I'm crossing my fingers.

What did they say? I asked questions like what do your students struggle most with in the program, how do you make yourselves available for students and I also asked what most contributes to the student’s high NCLEX pass rate. So a lot of opinion type of questions.

I had mine onsite in Abilene today too! I was prepared for so many questions they may ask me and they asked me only like 7. So I was caught off guard when it ended but I also asked quite a few questions at the end so I think my entire interview was a little over 20 minutes. I think the current nursing students helped me a ton though. I feel like I know more-so what to expect! The best I can I guess. It's going to be so intense! I'm dying to know!

Oh thank goodness haha I was about to freak out. Thank you!

When is it due?

I haven't received one either...so let me know if you find anything out!

No I haven't. Is a background check a requirement? I'm pretty sure it is, but I don't remember. Do you have a spot for it in your status portal?

Who all is applying for the Abilene cohort?

I got a separate email about the topic!
