Welcome Melissa, I too am new to this site and I love reading all of the posts. It's quite helpful to know that there are others out there with the same concerns as me. I'm currently waitng for my acceptance letter into the Accelerated Nursing program at UNC. They won't send out letters until mid-March- mid-April. I've been on pins and needles waiting. I wish all the best. Its seems like you have everything planned out. Good luck! Vicky
