Awe, well I wish you the best of luck!

Hi rngraduate2014, Howard did their first lottery in the beginning of March and I just got my acceptance letter two days ago. I would suggest speaking to a nursing adviser from the schools you are waiting to hear from. They should be able to tell you how many seats are available, what their selection process is, and when you should expect to hear the good or bad news. Good luck!

I agree with Altra.. I don't see anything really fishy going on as I explained, much could have happened since your last background check. We don't know if you already told them you had your fingerprinting and background check completed previously either, you didn't say. You also didn't say if everything was done online, or if you had actually visited the facility. Don't assume..just call them and explain the situation. If they won't offer to refund it after you're hired or you don't like their answer, then turn it down.

If everything was done over the phone or online, I wouldn't do it! I suggest you go into the ALF office and explain the situation. There isn't any need to get re-fingerprinted, but she may ask that you provide proof from the agency you went to or provide the name of the fingerprinting agency.. I'd have the name written down before you talk to her. The background check is totally understandable though. When I did my CNA training, I had to get 2 background checks.. 1 for the program and 1 for the facility we would be doing clinicals at. It sounded silly to me, but it's important that they have a recent background check (you might have robbed a bank or killed someone right after you had your last check? haha kidding!.. but no, really.. it's more understandable when you think of it that way. Either way, talk to someone in person and explain the situation before you start giving your information and money away! Good Luck! ^_^

The first test is always a real pain. Either you do well, or you do poorly. I wouldn't get discouraged if you didn't do so well. Just take a step back and think about the kind of questions that were asked on the test and switch up your studying to match it. Were these questions pulled from the chapter review in your book? How much of it was vocab? Trust me, I've had enough teachers like that.. and it sucks! But really, forget your previous score and just try to do better! I'm taking A&P I and we use a lot of online stuff for studying. A good site is Welcome to myAP!, though you have to pay like $20 for the site key. GL to you!
