Thank you for the reply. I actually won't have any loans, I saved up enough to pay for the school. So I will only need to spend 10-15 hrs a week working at most, to pay for living expenses. But I am currently taking A&P II and Nutrition (my last 2 prerequisites) and that, plus working 20 hrs a week is taking up a lion's share of my time. And my first term I will be taking not 2, but FOUR classes, including Pharmacology and Pathophysiology (plus clinicals), so I am kind of afraid that I won't have time for 'simple things' like working out and (love) life :) But your words were quite comforting.

I am also starting Upper Division in January. If I am well-organized will I have 10 hrs a week to do work? Will I also be able to have a life? :)

Once you are ready to move back to St. Louis, please let me know. I have a lot of friends who are in the nursing field and who might be able to help you find jobs.

I think that the program itself is 25 people or so. If you are in Top 10 and there are more than 5 months left, you'll get in. This is just my rough guesstimate, based on my subjective experience :)

I had this happen 3-4 times over the course of my life.

For Anatomy & Physiology plan to study a minimum of 14 hrs a week. Same for Microbiology. They are not difficult, but you have to be very-focused and pay attention to details.

Just a month or two ago - I was #9 on the wait list for the Upper Division program - to start in January of 2011. A few days ago I was contacted and told that my spot is now reserved and confirmed for the start date of January 18th, 2010.

It took a few months before I got a letter, so you don't have to worry :)

I received a letter.

Hi everyone, I am #8 on the waitlist for Goldfarb's nursing program at Washington University for Spring 2011 term (2-year Upper Division BSN Program). They said that the class contains 70 students, but that my chances are 'very good'. How is it possible? Wouldn't roughly 15% of the class have to change their minds for me to get in? I am confused :) Thanks!

I applied for fall 2010 accelerated BSN program, got waitlisted and guaranteed spring 2011 admission. decided not to do the accelerated program and am now on the waitlist again for the 2 year BSN program, this time for spring 2011. i am #10 on the waitlist. class of 68 people. they told me that my chances were 'very good'. not sure why.

$21/hr in St. Louis, $25/hr if you work night shifts. I'd be curious to hear about other places in the country, for example NJ.

Is this a serious post? I hope not. Just study and learn the material and you'll do fine.

Just worry about Anatomy and Microbiology, the rest are easy. That said, I wouldn't take those two together if you can avoid it. If you don't have to work while studying - you should be okay, my friend took the same 5 classes and got all As.
