wow, i feel lame if i can't get into the "easiest" program. i feel that i had a very competitive application. i requested consideration for both programs. i said, rr would be my first choice, but will accept either. my friend last year got accepted w/ a much lower gpa and no health background.

thanks, for the encouragement. i have been working so hard for 1.5 years and have sacrificed a lot just to get to this point. i'm sure i'm not the only one. most of us are working on pursuing a second career. i'm just feeling discouraged right now. nothing i can do until monday morning. i would rather do the pathways program. i don't know why they didn't just put in un that one instead. are you in the program now?

of course, i plan on calling them. i got this message late friday. i can not contact them until monday. it was not the news i wanted to hear going into a weekend.

make what exception???? at this point i question there professionalism. i was sent an email only to say i'm an alternate. then a following email saying that's incorrect. why didn't they just place me in the pathways program? i applied for both. if i can qualify for the fatrack then place me in the other. rather than telling me i'm an alt. i'm also mad that they just are now telling me i have to take a drug test by april 9th and admissions test. i knew i would have to do both, but not a month and a half before. they expect me to fly there just for their test. then sit around until may 1st to wait and see if they still want me. i have a job and apartment i need to figure out what to do with. i have to vent b/c it has been a struggle just trying to apply to this place, they have changed their application 4 times since i considered their school. people have quit that gave me advice,etc.

im really frustrated right now w/ nmsu. ***!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! seriously! here is the first email and second email. can someone please help w/ this? they sent this to me friday evening. thanks, for ruining my weekend. i'm just very bitter right now. they have changed their protocol numerous times. they expect me to go there 2.5 months ealrly to take a drug test and admissions test then wait!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! who do they think they are? the only reason i want to go there is for the cheap tuition and rent. 1) you are an alternate for the summer roadrunner bsn program. this notification is in conjunction with a hardcopy that has been sent via regular mail service. please read the attached documents very carefully. 2) please ignore the previous e-mail concerning your status in the roadrunner bsn program. we realized after we had already sent it out that the documents following the cover letter were incorrect. this message is your notification of your status in the program. ***!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i really dont want to be in the accelerated program. i would rather do the 2 year program. i have heard nothing positive about the online program. it might be more helpful to ahve face time w/ an instructor. if i qualify as an alt for the rr program then i should qualify for the pathways 2 year program. i'm having my doubts about the credibility of this program.

Wow, you have already found out! I thought we would not know until the end of the month. I have not heard anything yet. I'm so nervous. I have talked to 2 people in the program (RR and Pathways). They say it's not easy and not very organized. Although, they say most nursing programs are like that. It's nursing school. I would accept the offer. The tuition cost and cost of living is cheap compared to other places. I live in the Bay area and it's super competitive and expensive. I will keep you posted. Wish me luck!

I am applying to the Las Cruces program. It will be hard to depart from San Francisco. I would rather pay $15,000 vs. $50,000 here. I didn't know that Carlsbad had a RN program. Do they offer the waiver for in state tuition?

Hi everyone, I have been reading the threads about NMSU. I beginning to get worried. I am applying to the Roadrunner(Summer09) and Pathways (Fall09). So far, I have not been happy w/ the disorganization of their website. They have changed the requirements numerous times. They recently decided they want 3 reference letters. Basically, give me less than a month and a half during the holidays to do so. It has made me question the integrity of the program. A fellow classmate turned me onto this program. I live in California. The programs out here are ridiculously competitive and expensive. That is what attracted me to NMSU. The price tuition waiver and less competition. Also, they require less pre-reqs! Please help! I have been hoping to get accepted and start in May (hopefully). Is it not worth it????? I'm freaking out!!!!!! Are the online classes not manageable? Do others form study groups? Any successful graduates? Also, how do you recommend to prepare for the dosage calculations test and Hesi for NMSU??? I was thinking of taking an online dosage calculation class. I purchased the Saunders Nclex review. Confused and worried, LSG
