I took the Hurst Review the summer between my first and second years of nursing school. To me, it was like nursing school condensed into a week's worth of lectures. I'm glad I did it and would encourage any nursing student to sit for the review, ev...

Has anyone heard when the acceptance letters are going out for the Fall 2011 ADN program at Holmes Community College - Ridgeland?

Okay, so I received my acceptance letter today from Holmes for their ADN program in Ridgeland. My question goes out to current and former students. What should I expect? schedule, clinicals (farthest distance, hospitals, etc.), expenses, instructor...

I'm not sure any school is better than the other. From what I've heard, they are all disorganized. This has been the most intensive two years of my life. My "breaks" weren't exactly breaks (Spring break, Thanksgiving). I am just this past week ca...

It was the worst two years of my life.

I know what you mean. I felt the very same way last year. I worried if I'd get an acceptance to Holmes before I had to commit to Hinds. Luckily, my letter came in the day before I had to commit to Hinds. Holmes was just a closer location for me. ...

I have heard that students are already coming in at the Ridgeland campus with their acceptance letters. I hope y'all hear something soon. For those that will be starting in the Fall at Ridgeland, the second year students are hoping to get together w...

I'm currently in the ADN program at Holmes in Ridgeland. I received mine April 27th of last year, if that helps.

I think you've just reached your 15th post with that last one. See if it will let you respond now.

Congratulations!!!:)

I got in! I'm so happy.

Thank erin_b. I sure hope they go out this week. I didn't receive anything today so I'm guessing she wasn't able to get them out yesterday. I feel like calling her and telling her I'll drive to Grenada and help her if she needs some help. :)

Sure thing...I will post something as soon as I get either an acceptance or a rejection letter.

I wonder if they were held up by the Good Friday holiday last week. I'm so anxious to find out something that I don't have a fingernail left. They've all been chewed.

Not yet...still patiently waiting. Have you heard any news from the school about sending out anymore letters or from anyone that has applied about whether they've received a letter or not?

HA HA... Me too! Tell them to let us in.

I'm hoping that since I haven't received anything yet that it is a good sign. Yeah I've never heard anything negative about the Holmes nursing instructors. That's why I prefer Holmes over Hinds. I'll go to Hinds if I have to but I don't want to if ...

Thanks so much for the info. You've been very helpful.

@amandagayle Yes, that does help. Thank you. Do you mind me asking what your scores were for ACT, gpa, etc? I don't know I find myself asking people that. I guess maybe trying to see what kind of chance I have.

I think you may have to accept my friend request in order to private message.

I don't know. Do you have to pay to do that?

I know. That's why I haven't called. I didn't want to make anyone mad at me. We just might be sitting (or have sat) right beside each other in class. I'm taking Marriage and Family right now.

At NAHC. Orientation for both campuses is at NAHC. I'm really hoping for that Holmes acceptance letter though. That's where I've been doing all of my pre-requisite work. When you called Grenada, did you check the validity of those rumors?

Did you apply at UMC and MC, too? I know you did for Hinds (I'll see you tomorrow maybe at orientation but won't know who you are). This letter is all I seem to think about. I can't even concentrate at work any longer.

@mommyof2littleboys I feel your pain. I have been wanting to call Grenada but have been trying to be patient.
