Weird - maybe I tried to soon. Last time the link didn't work either. I've sent my request now!

I just did a search and it didn't come up?

YES! I think that's a fantastic idea!

Mom_of_4 - did you see my second reply? It was not Aschenbrenner. I knew the name was familiar... Anyway, I am currently looking feverishly for work. My youngest is starting kindergarten, so I've go the time and I'd really like to sock away some mon...

I lied. The book we used was Huether and McCance. The Aschenbrenner book was for pharm. Everything else I said is true.

Mom_of_4, We used the Aschenbrenner book in my class. No ATI exams. The class was tough, but doable as long as you kept up with all of the reading. It was on-line and I don't know if the prof is there anymore. He was okay. There were a couple o...

Maybe I'm just panicky for no reason, but I sent in my deposit and it's not showing up under ebill or SAIL. Can anyone else see that your deposit was actually received?

I know currently, everyone is at Riverview. However, my acceptance letter does not specify that (it specifically says 'a site to be determined'). Weird that everyone else's says Riverview???? The new building they are currently constructing on the no...

Momof4! Congratulations! Enjoy that baby (I am a baby fanatic - which is why I kept having them, I always forget they are gonna grow up! ). Four is a lot of fun. It's crazy and hectic, but I wouldn't have it any other way! I have already taken a...

I'm in, also! May 2011! Can't wait to get started. Momof4 - Did you have that baby this week, too? Congrats to all that have been accepted!

Well congrats on your new baby! Four is great - once you're outnumbered by 3, it just doesn't seem to matter anymore! :) And you're right. It's one year and we will not only get through it, but excel as we will have to be doubly organized! I can't...

Momof4 - How old are your kids? I also have four (ages 14, 12, 9 and 5) and that's what makes me most nervous. I know it's doable - I have several friends that have been through it. But it's going to be tough! Still, I can't wait to get started!

Last time I interviewed, we talked about my goal statement quite a bit. This time it was mentioned in passing just to basically say he had read it and my goals seemed to be in line with those of the program. My GPA was never discussed either time (a...

Glad to have found you all! And it sounds as if everyone's interview went well. I had the first interview of the July session last week and I feel like it went well, also. I had actually already been through this before. I was accepted the first tim...

Just checking in to see how everyone is doing. I'm looking forward to orientation next month - I've got so many questions! Has anyone done the CPR certification yet? Where? I'm trying to get signed up now. I feel very nervous now that we are so ...

It's really hard to wait, I know. I interviewed early last March for the January 2011 cohort and did not get my acceptance letter in the mail until early April. It took a full month. And it came snail mail, not email (I don't think they do that any...

Our cohort only received letters. Previous cohorts did receive emails, though. If you're like me, you'll drive yourself crazy waiting! Good luck to you!

Hi Steph - Thanks for the note about the location of Riverview. If you were referring to my post, I didn't mean to insinuate that Riverview was downriver, just that I would be driving through Detroit on my way downriver. But I can see how my post c...

I agree about waiting to take the CPR class until I hear exactly what they want, but I do want to start looking around for locations and prices. And yes, there are health requirements and a drug test and a background check that we have to finish too...

mjsrt - I also live near Crittenton. I would love to work out some carpooling once we get started! When I first started working on my pre-reqs for this program I was thinking how convenient it was to live near OU. I knew the clinicals could be anyw...

Texas and California are the two I've heard most often, but I know I've heard of others along the way, too.

I have a friend that finished the program at OU last August. It did take her a couple of months to find a job. She didn't like her first position, had an offer from another place that she turned down and just recently accepted and started at a new j...

Hi all! I am new to this site but was just accepted to the January 2011 cohort. Congratulations to all of you that were also accepted. I can't wait to get started! I live in Rochester and would love to do some carpooling when we get started. If so...
