Absolutely, what's your email, happy to get in contact with you!

And Odessa. Sorry just assumed all the ABSN sites also had traditional.

Yes. Previous Bachelor's and all the prerequisites if the original degree did not include them. Tech also has a traditional program. I believe it has cohorts at the same locations as the accelerated and they start year around now (at least in my area).

I ordered these on sale from Zappos today. They’re On brand, style of cloud flyer. a lot of the nurses here wear them. Pricy but my other pair of On is my favorite shoe and have held up great. I wear them for walking, cycling, hiking and some of my hospital shifts. Super comfy and this particular pair is actually waterproof (intended for trail running). Might be able to find them on a cyber Monday sale on amazon?

Just wanted to put it out there for anyone that might be new to the forum - a few of us from the Odessa cohort are meeting up tonight! find me on fb - Alex Dinsmore and I’ll happily fill you in!

Lol. Yea after an email response to my friend from Ashlyn telling her to contact IT because we should’ve already gotten the email. Cool. Great communication.

Has anyone received the email to set up their eraider account?! A friend of mine emailed Ashlyn and she said it should’ve been sent out but neither of us got that email. Not even in my spam....

Yes that’s what I was thinking too @MrngRainn. That’s helpful, anyone in the Odessa cohort able to answer for me? I found the most comfortable black and white new balance tennies but they’re expensive so don’t want to I fest if I can’t wear them for work!

Hi, SUPER random question... what kind of shoes are we required to get? Somewhere I read that they had to be all black? I want to invest in some good shoes now, and I have some picked out but I want to be able to wear them for school too... TIA!

Hey @sammie.sosa the acceptance update said we’d receive an email to set up a Raider nurse email account. I wouldn’t stress about it. It’s only been 2 weeks since we found out. CONGRATS @jillhill81!!!! So glad to hear it all worked out!

Let’s be friends!!! Alex Dinsmore on fb! I’ll start a group! I know one other person in our group!

I’m kinda sad I have no one to start an Odessa group with ☹️ Someone be my friend out here in the desert!

Anybody else in Odessa? I know one other person and I’d love to make a Facebook group!

Y’ALL. MY APPLICATION HAS AN OFFER OF ADMISSION OPTION AND PLACEMENT FEE ON IT!!!!!!!

I’m Odessa with Lubbock as second. I think Odessa is going to be 10 not 15. I was told in my interview that 10 was how many they have now and probably what it would be for 2020... I think the amount at each location depends on faculty and preceptor commitment per location....

Okay that is actually really helpful to know about the admin changes, thanks Sophie! Still. This waiting is agonizing.

Has anyone’s status portal changed? I read in previous years they saw a placement fee applied...

I feel ya. I was so hoping for last week because I started my CNA Monday and I was going to drop it with a full refund if I didn’t get in. Going to be hard to concentrate tomorrow in class now! Not sure my nerves can handle another weekend not knowing haha

Longest week ever.

I mean we were told mid September ??‍♀️ So next Friday or early the following week would be on track. I mean obviously we were all optimistic that it would be earlier due to previous years and how much earlier interview decisions were made....

Your allnurses update email basically gave me a heart attack. And now I could throw up. Right there with y’all.

I think all interviews are completely wrapped up ?

Yea not ideal, but you can do anything for a year right? Especially if it means you get to be a nurse! And the nice thing is you'd probably be commuting at non traditional traffic times since most shifts are 7-7.

Oh man, I was really hoping for today based on last year's cohort. Guess I'll just hope for the 5th now! Also congrats @atxmitch, sounds like maybe you have a spot for SA?!?! That's awesome!

Lubbock! But for Odessa. I think today is the last on site interviews.
