I have also applied and waiting to hear something soon. Good luck everyone!

Svictor1: :up:Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!

got my letter stating i am on the wait list. it stated that i need to take a class which i have taken and made an a. i will notify the dept. of the info and hope it will help my standing. i will also make an appt. to get additional info. regarding my status on the list. a warm-hearted thank you for each prayer and i am sending you a "cyber" hug. the correspondence has been supportive and a picture of the heart and attitude of what nursing is all about. for those of you beginning the journey in january....go, go, go and make us all proud for we will be following in your footsteps! who knows....someday we may work the clinical halls together. happy thanksgiving for which we have much to be thankful!! (except for maybe the turkeys :-) gobble, gobble! if things don't pan out for me to get in this semester, i'm not giving up.......just wanted to restate.....god didn't give up on me and i'm not giving up on the seed he planted in me. do i hear an amen????:redbeathe (i may have forgotten to state one minor little detail, i'm 56 years old and a retired first grade teacher as well as administrator. i am truly having the time of my life, following a dream since i was 20 years old. never say never and it's never too late!) yep......i thought i heard an amen from out there!)

I think waiting list letter will go out after the next 2 weeks. Probably first week of December. Again, this is my idea not from anything specific I was told from Nursing Dept.

I am assuming the decisions are still being made about who is accepted into the program. I think each week decisions are made based upon the previous letters sent out. This is based only on my interpretation.

I went by the nursing office today and was told there is another meeting this week and possibly next week too. I was told that it looked like I would probably be on a waiting list. When I asked about when the last date of notification of acceptance into the program, she said it could be up until the first day of class. I was also told that once I received notification if I was on the waiting list, I could make an appointment and get more information. This helped me to relax a bit and take a deep breath. I am trying to get a better grasp on what my options are and get grounded in how this decision is out of my control. (Then again, I already knew that but have moments of amnesia.) I'm going to try and calm down and stop beating the down down to get to the mailbox every day. Good luck to those still waiting to hear something.

SweetPEI....I haven't heard anything. Tomorrow I have class and might stop by the nursing dept and see if they can give me a hint or not. I am trying to pull together a plan B. Good luck to you and thank you for starting this thread!! If it hadn't been for you we would have not had this opportunity of getting to know one another. I am thinking about applying to other schools and maybe getting an LPN and bridging into RN if I can't get in to a BSN program. Hugs to you!

SweetPEI....your scores were higher than mine. Do you know something I should?????

SweetPEI....did you hear something definite? From what I was told, there is one more week of decisions. What ever it is you decide, I wish you all good things!!!!

You guys/gals are the absolute best!! Veterans Day is Nov. 11 so no mail tomorrow. :-)

Thanks SweetPEI.....I hate that you are having to wait too but am glad to know there is another person out there along side me. I met a woman on the train yesterday who TRULY helped put things into perspective for me. A real wake-up call! She was neatly dressed and very well spoken. She told me she had been looking for a job downtown and didn't have any luck. As our discussion continued, she told me she and her 5 grandchildren were living in a homeless shelter and she had to find a job within the next 30 days in order to stay at the shelter. As I tried to offer her optimistic comments, it was her stop on the train and she exited. A real REALITY check on how blessed I am and I need to get my priorities in check. I know that God loves her too and will bring her through her difficult time. As I walked to my car at the train station I realized how very grateful I was that I can even go to school and pursue my dreams. AND thankful I have a God who taps me on the shoulder now and then for me to look around and pray for those going through dire life challenges which we see each day. (particularly in the area around GSU) Please offer a prayer today for "Beverly" and her grandchildren. Thank you!

I had class today and decided to go to the nursing dept. to see if I could get any info. concerning the status of my application. I was told the committee meets each week and there are two more weeks before all decisions are made. And the wait continues......tick-tock. :-)

SweetPEI....I didn't get anything today. How about you? I need to be studying, so guess I better get my mind off what is in the mail and stop worrying about something which I have absolutely no control over!. I need to stop thinking about what could BE and start thinking about what IS .....like my stat class homework. Gotta' hit the books!! Hope your week-end is good!

sweetPEI....just wanted to remind you that I'm right here with you in the wait! Hang in there.....I'm using duct tape. :-)

gsuhopeful....thank you for the prayers. Nothing in the mail today and I think you hit the nail on the head about Thursday mailings.
