....Your husband calls to tell you that he thinks he vomited blood and you ask him to save his next "episode" :barf01:so you can assess the color and amount! ....and he does so, without thinking that it's nasty! Sorry- this just happened to me recently! (He's fine)

I am glad they still do the lottery at least for the Orientation group. Even though I pulled #116 (UGH!!!) I still managed to get a decent section. Good luck to all!!!!

Hi there all! I am curious how your orientation went! I am about to start 2nd term, feel free to PM me if you have questions about teachers, classes, etc. It will fly by, believe me! I am stunned 1st term is already over. Did they use the lottery for your registration? They have done away with it for ours. (grrr..) So for us it will be a mad dash to the computers to try to get the schedule we want! :yeah:Congrats on getting in!!

If 99.2 is what you scored after multiplying by .64, and then you add the 120 pts, you would be at 219.2. Don't waste your time retaking the NAT. It's pretty safe to say you'll get in.

I don't have my papers with me, but I think I only had like 104pts for my grades and then after multiplying my NAT by .64, I got another 112 pts. My grades were good, but I did have 1 C and a few B's. So you do not have to have straight A's or anything, you do well enough on the NAT & it can pull you up quite a bit.

Well, I am not 100%, but someone on one of our threads posted that they got a letter stating that she did not get in b/c the cutoff was 176 and she had 170. She actually had more than 170 and had to get it straightened out with the school. But that's where I am getting my info on the cutoff. Anyone know for sure what it was this term?

I got in with 216 pts. I heard the cutoff for this term was something in the mid 170's....anyone remember? I think that cutoff was lower than the norm, which is usually in the mid 180's.

I don't live in OP, but I am in the day program. I live in Batram Park out by Baptist South. I was thinking those of us in the day program should start a thread, too. So we can see who's out there and where.

I know it's so frustrating! I got denial reversed by bringing in my acceptance letter and speaking to the Elaine Cornwell at Deewood campus. She gave my info to the dean, Margot something and they reversed the denial. Don't bother with the nursing counselors, just got to Deewood Financial Aid counter. Let me know how it goes!

I agree! Congrats on making the decision to go!

I will be working as well, although I am doing day shift. I figured I'd rather work and go to school Mon- Fri and have weekends for studying. I am going to see about dropping my hours down from 40 to 32 per week if possible. Even that will be a tough pay cut! For all of you wondering about Northside Medical Clinic pricing, I called today and was told: Rubella- $17 Varicella- $30 Heb B- $50 Tuberculosis- $10 tetorifice- $18 Drug screen- $26 Hope that is helpful to some. That is cheaper than even my insurance, unfortunately I have already done all but the titers, but I'll be doing those at Northside for sure!

YES! Good question. Also - Does anyone know what PCT positions pay?

I know...all of these start up costs have my head swimming! I am trying not to let it ruin my excitement. I am still trying to find out how much all these shots and lab work are going to total up to, but it's not like I have an option anyway. So I will just brace myself for the bills! Discover card to the rescue! (even though I HATE using credit at all)

As far as books go...can you get them from another source (half.com, amazon.com, etc) or do you have to buy them at orientation? Does anyone know anyone who has bought them online? If so, how was their experience?
