Lyremollie... congrats! good going, and I know that you worked very hard to get this far; microbiology in and of itself is a bear, let alone the other 40 or so credits most programs require to gain entry, so you've earned your spot, I'm sure. I wish you much success, your fun is just beginning ...hee-hee. FirmlyAnchored...DON'T be discouraged! we don't know enough to be either encouraged or discouraged, all we can do is submit our paperwork and let life take its course. Again, if it doesn't happen for me, I'm getting on those pre-reqs for RN. Life's to short to try to change stuff we have NO control over.... Hugs:icon_hug:

? you were hoping to get in "this time around?" how many times have you applied to the LPN program? you were smart to go ahead and apply for your spring classes (I'm assuming RN pre-reqs), you're proactive, a great nursing quality...well, don't sweat it, you won't need those spring pre-req classes anyhow; you're going to get into the LPN program...you & I both :loveya:. you can take your RN pre-reqs after we make it thru the LPN program. Please post as soon as you get your acceptance packet. thx.:cheers:

FYI: you know how they tell us that they can take 6-8 weeks to make decisions on acceptance into the LPN program...well, I called the north campus nursing department last week and was told that the acceptance packets / denial letters for the LPN program will not go out until after the FULL 8 weeks...she specifically said that they won't go out until after Thanksgiving. ...so, I'm guessing we should get them around the last week in November, first week in December-ish? I turned in my admissions packet way back in early August, so this wait has already been unbearable!:hdvwl: Good luck to everyone that applied! I will be checking my mail daily and I'll make an entry on this website as soon as I get a Yea or Nea.

ooopsie...my bad...it does say 'dat :imbar... ok, then my score is 8.650, which means JACK! since we don't know how many people applied, what sort of scores they have, if they have the CNA experience or what! I know one thing thou...I've been following some of the RN threads and I've got to get my GPA up for reelz. those gals are breaking out the 3.5-4.0's and STILL praying to get into these RN programs. Everybody and their Aunt Peg is applying, so the competition is ugly, then once you finally make it into the dang program, you've got to study your bunz off to stay IN. I work in a hospital and I see people doing their clinicals; the clinical classes get smaller as the weeks progress:sniff:. Getting into the RN program is JUST the beginning, staying-in is a different story. I'm really debating on if I want to keep after this ; I would also make a pretty good elementary teacher...

are you sure that they caluculate it like that? my paperwork says something totally different:confused:...anywho, the point is, this waiting is just TOO DANG MUCH! I mean come on, I submitted my paperwork back in AUGUST and they only have 24 spots, so how hard can it be for them to choose 24 people with the best overall scores and CNA experience? actually, CNA experience only counts for .5 point, so I didn't bother with that part, but now I wish I had just submitted paperwork from my employer to verify my CNA work history. I guess I didn't think a gazillion people would be applying to the LPN program, sheesh... if I don't get in, I will not reapply. I will work on prereqs for the RN program instead...although there is a "nursing shortage" in America, life's too short for all of these hoops.:angryfire
