I just got my acceptance phone call today!! Anyone else?

Got my email today!

You send everything to the registrar’s office. I was able to e-mail everything just fine.

How long did it take for them to receive and accept the mailed ones?

Has anyone sent in letters of recommendation yet? I have one from February I've been holding onto until I submit my application. That one said to mail it in, so I have it in an envelope ready to go. I'm on the admission requirements page looking for the letter of recommendation form to send to my other recommenders. Now it seems like it's saying you can e-mail it, but the form doesn't look the same. Has anyone else come across this?

I just got done with my first travel assignment and thought about this comment. If you still need references, I would try and connect with the manager or house/nursing supervisor. I work nights and hardly ever saw my manager. On my last night, the night nursing supervisor said he would write me a letter of recommendation if I needed one, which took me by surprise. My best advice is to work hard and speak to/ get to know either the manager or supervisor as you can! Good luck! If anyone is looking into applying to Texas Wesleyan, they finally updated their website. Applications due Nov. 1.

I already have references from past staff jobs

I'm applying this year too. I have one year of MICU experience and one year of CVICU experience. Trained to take CRRT, IABP, Impella. I'm currently travel nursing to prepare financially. I have ACLS, BLS, and PALS. I took the CCRN in December and passed. I just finished my organic class. The only thing I have left is the GRE and I'll be able to submit my application. I took organic through Doane University. All online and it has a lab. It cost me around $1800 I believe. It's an 8 week class. The only test was the final and it wasn't proctored. It's A LOT of self teaching. I felt it was very doable working full time. Keep in mind it was the only class I took at the time and I wasn't studying for anything else during those 8 weeks. I feel like there are more affordable options if you do more shopping around. If you have any questions on whether or not the class you're looking at is accepted, just email the school. They got back to me within a few hours with a yes or no. For the CCRN I used the Barron's book and the AACN CCRN resources. I wouldn't pay for the AACN videos again. Barron's is really all you need. I felt the Barron's practice tests were much harder than the actual CCRN. For the GRE I'm using Magoosh. I bought a GRE book but I like Magoosh better. The math videos are really helping me out a lot more. My GPA is 3.6 and I haven't been part of any committees at my old full time jobs. Now that I'm travel nursing, I won't have the opportunity anymore. The only thing I can think to make me stand out is to take the CMC or CSC. Hope this helps someone!
