I say still go through with appeals since you never know. They told me the same thing about not getting a transcript (for a school I never went to) and I just looked and noticed that they also said I'm pursuing an AS in Biotech (which I'm not). Maybe you can ask what the cutoff was during counseling. I say if you really want it, keep at it. :)

It shows that ALL my prereqs are completed. It doesn't even say anything about USF on my Hawknet. I don't even know why they think I went there! This is so frustrating! I hope there are no errors like this for the rest of you. :)

Yeah, it does suck! All I saw was "denied" and the tears started coming. Then I saw the reason and if it was Monday, I'd be down at Dale Mabry right now. It's saying that I didn't submit USF transcripts when I attended FSU. I hope it wasn't a simple "misreading" of letters because I don't even know where they got the idea that I attended USF.

I got my letter and it's saying that I was denied due to incomplete prereqs for failure to submit a transcript to a school I never attended. Ugh...now I have to appeal and wait even longer.

I come here everyday to see if anyone's posted, "I got my letter!" before making my trek to the mailbox, lol.

Documents Received!! Now the wait...

My stomach is in knots (this waiting is killing me). Basically, I have everything riding upon this acceptance and I've recalculated my GPA so much, I'm starting to dream about it. I have AP credit in a few courses and took some at HCC with a pretty ok GPA (3.68) but the only transfer class that has a grade is the MAC 1105 I took 5 yrs ago in which I got a C+ (which will be counted as a C) so it drops me to a 3.39. ::teeth chattering:: I'm praying for all of us :redpinkhe b/c it sounds like there are some awesome ppl in here (who give great advice) and when I was in IB, since it was so challenging and it was so few of us, I made some amazing friendships. Hope it's not idealistic of me to hope to do the same should I get accepted this Spring. Good Luck Everyone!!!!!

How is it calculated? ETA: For instance, will AP or CLEP credit for courses only harm?

so, if they factored in your a- as an a, what do you think a b+ would be? b/c it's kind of tricky trying to figure out my gpa b/c there is a marked difference between a b+, b and b-.

Hi, I was just wondering if anyone knew if all nurses started out in a hospital and then branched out to different areas later? See, I have a Bachelors in Psych and I'm driven to Psychiatric Nursing (I'm trying to get a mental health tech position). I'm currently a pre-nursing student applying for Spring 2011 admission (fingers crossed). However, I was wondering if after nursing school, I would have to resign to working in a hospital at first to gain some experience (which is an area I pretty much want to avoid) or do other areas hire new grads? I was pretty much told by an advisor that as a new grad, my options were limited to LTC and hospital nursing but I just wanted to hear what actual new grads had to say about it. Thanks:redpinkhe!

I'm usually excellentat controlling my symptoms up until this time of the year. It's very strange b/c I was diagnosed with BP2 almost 1 yr ago so I don't have the hang of it yet. My financial resources are VERY limited so after I went off meds in June, I haven't been back on them. I usually do fine, however...it seems as though when the clocks are set back, I go on crazy mood swings. Last Thanksgiving, b4 I was diagnosed is eerily like this one with me sleeping through EVERYTHING b/c I'm sooo tired and/or depressed and then the next day, I'm like . I :redbeathe people and I love working with people. I understand that there are stressors in Nursing however I have always wanted to go into either Psychiatric or Public Health Nursing b/c I want to help ppl with little to no income or those who are stigmatized due to their mental health status. My aunt is a nurse and I have always admired witnessing her dedication to her patients over the years. I'm doing very well in my classes, except for this little BP2 thing. I'm afraid, however, that I'm not fit to do so. I love my classes but I'm afraid to disclose to my profs ab my condition in that they may not believe me. I don't come off as bipolar...just reallllly quiet. They've all said that I'm extremely quiet, which I am, but it's b/c I suffer greatly on the inside. Without any money and difficulty finding work, probs at home (if I were under 18, I'd be removed for child abuse)... and school...my stress level is HIGH. I know I can do it if I can just get a little help but...should I reconsider this profession? I've read the threads on nurses with BP who are either doing fine or have taken time off. Is it unrealistic to think that with regular counseling and meds, I too can handle the stresses of this demanding yet amazing profession?????????
