cdids

Hi future students. I'm just gearing up to graduate CU in 5 weeks, it goes by quick!! I never used the CDs for the earlier classes, but for some of your classes later on in the program they could be required. The CDs do have a lot of practice ques...

Congrats on being accepted to nursing school! I am currently in the accelerated program at CU and like Summit said, working part time is doable. I also work 2 jobs right now, I am lucky because both positions allow for flexible hours. I would say ...

For all of you posters that are on the call list... don't give up hope! I started at CU in Summer 2010 and I too was call listed at first. In fact, lots of my fellow nursing students were call listed. From what I have seen/heard, they usually go t...

No PDA necessary, thank goodness! The only piece of technology that I bought was a laserjet printer, which are relatively inexpensive and so worth it. There are A TON of things you will be printing out, and having the ability to print things out fa...

Congrats derjac! They say that getting in is the hardest part of nursing school, so you got that out of the way :) I started the accelerated program at CU this summer and I'm really loving it. I don't know if you have this info but I am including ...

Not that it really matters, but the nursing program at CU is actually tied to the Denver campus, not the Boulder campus. I am currently finishing up my first semester with the UCD (University of Colorado-Denver) program and I am very happy with it!

I'm thinking that our classes end 7/30. That's what it says on the course schedules and if you look on the academic calendar College of Nursing is in parenthesis after the 8 week course end date. I hope so anyway!! I think we will need a month off...

It's great to hear that my fellow wait-listers got "the call". I can't believe that school starts in a month!!! So much to do. I kinda got screwed on scheduling because they were having IT problems so I couldn't register until 11:30 so I ended up...

I feel the same way! I start classes in June and I am so excited and yet so freaked out at the same time. Nursing is totally different than anything I've done before. Just thinking about all the things I will be learning makes my head spin. I usu...

No, they were supposed to send us all of the information on how and when to register as well as info on the drug testing. All I received in the mail so far was the in state tuition information.

Did you get a registration packet yet Stellagirl? The email basically said they totally screwed up the information for registration and need to send out correct packets to us. I got a call this morning from Julie, MUCH more pleasant than the other ...

Well... I just got off the phone with someone from the Nursing School and she was less than cordial with me! After making me feel stupid for calling instead of just reading the email she said they are still working on it and should get info soon. I...

I haven't received mine either but I did get the email. I was going to call them tomorrow to inquire about it... seems like the whole thing is a bit of a cluster right now.

Thanks! I was very surprised to get a call so quick. Another friend of mine who is on the call list talked to an admissions person and confirmed that they will continue to "call around" to all the applicants in the pool until someone answers the ph...

Hey all- I was on the call list with you but I got a call on Saturday... I might be the girl you read about :) I went to the nursing school yesterday and signed my intent form and got a little info. There is no ranking system for the call list. Ba...

Thanks limeade! I did request the Summer 2010 accelerated program when I applied so I am very happy with where I ended up. I literally got my call list letter, signed the paperwork and dropped it off at the post office within an hour. I kind of wo...

Hey fellow call-listers... there's hope yet! I just got a call, on a Saturday(!), and they offered me a spot for the Summer accelerated program :) I'm still in shock, I can't believe that I went from totally devastated one weekend to ecstatic the n...

I hear ya limeade! I am trying to figure out how I'm going to let my boss know that he may only get a day's notice from me... I wouldn't mind so much if I didn't work for my uncle. It could make for an awkward Thanksgiving :)

Congrats to everyone who got in and good vibes to all those still waiting to hear!! Thanks also for all of the support :) I must admit I'm still smarting from not getting accepted on the first go around but I'm still keeping positive thoughts that m...

Well folks... my letter came today, and I'm on the call list. Boo. I'm confused about the whole Spring 2011 term deal though. I wonder if they admitted anyone to that term yet or not??? Chin up... you never know what will happen.

My guy usually come between noon and one... I am furiously cleaning my house today and looking out the window every 15 minutes

I have been worthless at work this week! My mind is on what may or may not be in the mail when I get home. I made my husband promise not to tell me if it came in the mail if he gets home before me... I would probably wreck my car from being some an...

Thanks for the welcome Sand_dollar! Here's to hoping we can all get our acceptance letters by this weekend and have a long anticipated celebratory cocktail, or 5!

I'm in the same boat as you Stellagirl... I have only applied to CU and don't have a plan B as of right now. Hooray for putting all our eggs in one basket!! :) I'm really hoping that I get that acceptance letter so I don't have to worry about it. ...

I haven't received the final review email either.... still waiting and holding my breath every time I open my email!
