I'll be starting the nursing program at NHTI this fall as well....I'm excited, but definitely also feeling nervous! esokitty, I took the NHTI online ethics course and found it to be a great way to take the class. If you've had other online classes before, it's along those same lines. If not, I don't think you'll have any problem with getting the hang of things. We just had to reply a certain amount of times to the discussion board each week, get our papers in on time (a couple of position papers if I remember correctly), and we had other weekly assignments to turn in as well.

They sent a "congratulations" letter, and received a bunch of other paperwork, such as signing up for orientation, sending in the deposit, medical forms, etc.

I have been accepted into NHTI for the Fall of this year, and my composite score (under summary) was 127. My percentile score for "ALL" was 89. So not sure how it all works out, but that's what mine were.

Thank you so much for your reply ParvulusPuella, it is a great help! And yes, I will be attending NHTI. I am very excited, but also definitely nervous at the same time. I have already signed up for the orientation, the first one which is in June, so I'm sure I will find out a lot more at that time, I just figured I'd get a jump on what to expect and how I could prepare in advance. Thanks again!!

Hello. I will be entering the nursing program in Concord in the fall and was wondering what suggestions you may have for me as far as what I can do to prepare? I know one of the things that has been mentioned in other threads is a med calculation / math book? I was wondering if there was any book in particular that would be a good one to purchase? Have others found that it is helpful to record the lectures, or do good notes suffice? As far as scrubs and shoes, should I wait until after my orientation in June to purchase these or can I be on the lookout for a good bargain now? Thanks so much for all your help and advice!

Thanks slong589! I had thought it would be a while as well, as I had called in early Jan to find out how long it would take and she told me probably sometime in March. Maybe as I was just transferring into another program and am already a student the process is a bit quicker? Anyway, I'll take it :) At least now I don't have to stress about waiting to hear back anymore, I'll just stress about waiting to start the program....

I just heard from Concord this weekend that I am in for Fall 2010, (yay!). I applied last year, but way late because I didn't take my NLN until March. So obviously didn't get in for 2009, and instead enrolled as General Studies and took a couple other classes that are part of the nursing program to get them done and over with and just submitted a change of program form as they had all of my other info still on file. I was surpised to hear back so quick, but I did get my form in to them by early December. I'm so excited, but also so nervous! I keep thinking I must be crazy :) I know it will be completely worth it in the end, and I will be so happy I made this decision, but I know it's going to be a lot of hard work and dedication over the next couple of years.
