again i didn't get in. unfortunately unlike last year there was no ranking number. last year i was number 10 on the waiting list and i have no idea where i fall now. i will be going down on monday to talk to them and find out what my options are. i am interested to know hillary: what is your gpa towards the nursing program? how many credits do you have towards the nursing program? what were your act science and overall scores? i just don't know what else i can do to get in........ thanks, john........you haven't heard the last of me.

Well AGAIN!!!!!!!Per the Nursing department..... :angryfire "they havent gone out yet, but we hope in the beginning of next week." John

I know what you mean....My wife has ordered some things in the mail and EVERY time the Mail carrier comes to the door I get all nervous.....then I just want to punch her as she laughs at me....lol Its Killing me.....I remain positive though............ John.

Well it looks like the letters will not be mailed out untill "hopefully" next week. According to Gail Cummings, admin assistant at JCCC these letter will "hopefully be mailed out next week".... What the heck is taking so long.... Owell....I have a few hairs left to pull out but the pickings are slim :rotfl: John

FYI>>>>> KCKCC will only accept 10 of there 55 students from outside Levenworth and Wyondotte County. Yes JCCC is the only program I am applying for. I talked to my contact at the school and she said letters should be mailed latter next week. 'Cross your fingers' The problem I am facing now is trying to find the drive to actually do the RN program...I will have to keep working full time, 11pm-7am, the the RN program is like 8-5 m-f. I have heard that the first semester should be ok on that work schedule but the second semester it gets real hard. So I am not sure that even have it in me.... we will see what happens.

I talked to JCCC. Notices should be mailed out in about 2 weeks.

I am sure you did just fine. Yea I answered that one with the typical." oh well if I wasnt complete then if I couldnt hand it off then I would simply stay untill it was completed." Owell let me know if you hear anything either way.

Be sure to let us know when you get your Certified letter.....:)

Well the interview went GREAT. I would like to predict that Ill get in this time. I know that they are only interviewing 110 and they take 55. So 50/50 weather I get in. The interview had almost all the same questions that were given last semester. E-mail me if you would like to discuss the questions. Good luck everyone. John.

CONGRADULATIONS!!! I too have received my letter and my interview is on the 11th. I was interviewed last year so I am not as nervous as I was last year but I am sure we will al do fine. GOOD LUCK!!! John K.

as far as the interview goes it went very smoothly. you will sit with someone 1 on 1 and they will ask you mostly common sense question. for instance, "you have an important family event scheduled on the same day as an important exam. what do you do?" dont go for the obvious. dont just say, take the exam.....explain how you would have prioritized this in advance. if they change exam to paper then say how you would have prioritized this long before hand so that this would not be an issue. i am sure you understand. dont be nervous!! its really not very stressfull at all. i spoke with the rn program and they said that notifications should be coming out the end of this month to the first week or two of march. i am sure it will be soon. they have also corrected the problem they had last semester year and will only be interviewing 110 people. you do not automatically get an interview anymore and you must have your cna on application deadline. good luck. john k.

I was informed the MA's are not state regulated and that all their training is OJT. And yes the meds she gave my daughter were actually Immunizations.

this is my second year trying to get into nursing school and it just chaps my butt when i go to my daughters md and the ma's call themselves nurses. i mean i am now finished will all my prereqs and these ladies, who are probably good ma's don't have to have anything but ojt. and also are there limitations on what an ma can do. i took my daughter to get some shots and i was surprised when the ma administered them. can she do that?

Well I applied again to JCCC. Its been a year since my last Application and well see how I do this year. I made it to 10th on the waiting list and wouldnt you believe that they made it to #9. Well we'll see how it goes this year...

I Am also going to apply at KCK and Penn Valley. I have already talked to KCK they said that they fill up the first 45 spots with Wyandot and levenworth county and the last five spots they take from all other counties (johnson) they said that the highest GPA from out side those counties was a 3.2...........so I am sure my 3.7 will get me in...lol Good luck let me know how how it goes...

I am number 10 on the waiting list. They intervewed 148 people, all were guarenteed interviews due to course work completed and gpa or beceause they already had a bachelors. I dont think Ill get in but well see..... how about you abbey....

So then how does that work. For instance, one day I hope to apply to TWU and if I were to get accepted (yea right) do I have a say where I do clinicals. I have a wife and kids. Do I do the class room portion and then expect to move the whole family to the clinical site or are they pretty fair about giving ou the same generall area if you have a family. Harlingen, Texas is just a hop away from Corpus.....good times...!

I may not have any business posting this but I would like to just ask a question. From my research into what kind of nurse I ultimately want to be I have found that CRNA's have more independence and are not required to be supervised by an MDA. However NP's are supervised by MD's. Could this be the main reason for the pay difference. It seems to me that if I were a hospital hiring, that it would make more sence to hire 2 CRNA's over 1 MDA. And the job expectations are equal. Does that make sence.......its late...lol

This may be a silly question. Not being in a CRNA or any Nursing program (interviewed last thurs), what do you mean by clinical site, other than thats where you do your clinicals. You have to apply for the site seperate from the CRNA program that your in?....I am confused. I assumed that when you got accepted that the school just sends you to the nearest student hosp to do clinicals. Thanks

Abbey, Keep us posted.

The interview went GREAT.....should know in a few weeks... Wish me luck. JOhn.

Yes I did take Palcic last summer.......where did you sit. Hw did you finish in that class? What was the question that stumped you........?

My interview is on thursday @ 8am. Was the "what qualities" question the one that stumped you? I can see how that one would be hard. I personally think that the question about the alcohal and the pain medication would be a harder question. Because I have always been the type of person to want to approach someone about problems but I think in that case you would have to go straight to the supervisor. At least thats what I say now...but wait till I am actually sitting in front of someone...lol Did they give you an idea of when we should be hearing back. Thanks John [email protected]

So what were the questions like? Any pointers you can give? Was is short, long, any like weird questions or anything..... THanks,

I automatically qualified for an interview because of the courses that I have completed (2 sciences courses, comp 1 and communications course). I got my letter yesterday (2-26-04). If you havent heard anything you should call them.
