I'll be coming from Kennesaw as well. Hopefully, we can all carpool either to Rome or Marietta.

In the past, I heard ghc accept the 2x2. Check before you head out to wolf.

Congrats letsgomets! I'm in too. Nice the wait isa finally over. Did the envelope contain any info about wellstar. I had a neighbor open my letter because I am in nj. I didn't want her to have to go all through the paperwork looking for wellstar info...

Is anyone taking clinical calc this summer?

I signed up for clinical calc and emailed the nursing dept asking about acceptance letters. I basically asked (in a nice way) if we would hear something by June 10th - which is the date of orientation for the clinical cal dvd class. I mentioned that ...

mgeiger - last fall, some of the applicants found out a range of accepted scores (from the previous fall) and a "ball-park" idea of number of applicants and number accepted to each campus. I can't remember what the numbers were, but I assumed they go...

brownbook - it's funny you say that 52 sounds young to you. I remember when I was starting this journey and was 47 and felt ancient. What I wouldn't do to be 47 again :)

Good advice brownbook. I guess we all have our own fears, no matter what age!! Hang in there CC918!!

Thanks for the original question and positive response. I am 52 and beginning nursing school in the fall. I have already met some of my fellow students and they not only are the age of my 3 children, but 2 went to high school with my daughter!! I hav...

Talked to one of the secretaries in the nursing dept this morning. The letters will be mailed the first week of June.

letsgomets31 - glad to hear there's another person traveling from kennesaw. i am also hoping for the marietta campus, but will definitely drive to rome if necessary. the drive to rome from kennesaw isn't too bad - no real traffic. it just would be ea...

thanks for the update. i knew hearing something in may was too good to be true!! good luck to everyone.

good luck to you nataliearice. hope we all get the marietta campus!! you're going to have some drive from cumming - but with only going 3 days a weeks, it's doable. i only live about 20 minutes away, but with traffic it makes it more like an hour. bu...

I guess we'll find out all the details soon enough...well, actually 2 months or so. Seems like SUCH a long time - but hopefully the wait will be worth it!!

wrobeir, you're right about the"scholarship" being more like tuition reimbursement. If you are selected by WellStar, you pay for the first semester out of your own pocket. (because their is a high failure/dropout rate during first semester) If you ma...

rojahs - I didn't mean to imply that we in Cobb county would be sent to Rome (against our wishes) and the Rome students allowed to come to Marietta. I meant that if you put Marietta on your application as your campus of choice, you received that loca...

I don't know the particular circumstances of the student that didn't receive the scholarship. I don't know if they made special allowances and permitted her to stay, or if it the practice and there were other students at Marietta without the scholars...

I believe that if you put the Marietta location for campus, you are offered a CHANCE to apply for the scholarship. I do not believe it is mandatory. There are a lot of students who are just interested in the location as opposed to driving to Rome. Al...

The WellStar scholarship is pretty much as wrobeir said. I applied for the scholarship last year, was accepted, but then had some out of state family problems that prevented me from starting nursing school in the fall. Therefore, I am applying again....

Thanks for the update rojahs. April and May are going to be long months waiting for those letters!! That's great that we all are applying for the Marietta program - hopefully we'll ALL get in!!

Last fall the students got their letters the last week of June!! The nursing dept wanted to wait for the spring grades. Don't know if they're doing it the same this year. Hope not!!

I might email or call the office after the April deadline and find out when we should hear something. I'll let you know if I do. Are you applying for the Marietta or Rome campus? I am hoping for Marietta, but will take either!!

GaMommy81 - I am also applying for fall. Hopefully we don't have to wait until the end of June, like last year's class. Good luck to you!

starrdan-i'm nervous, but excited!! still have to go to rome to get some books before next week. i'll be glad when we finally start. glad all you guys made it through to 2nd semester. hope to see you around one of the hospitals!! good luck to you nex...

dallas - clear your private message space, I sent you a msg.
