I've been reading "allnurses" for several years, never thinking I'd reach this point. So, I never registered. However, after 2-years of night classes the dream of nursing might become a reality. Now, the wait for acceptance/denial begins. It's all c...

Hi TGrider853... It would make sense, but my understanding is that's now how it works. :) Basically, you're kinda stuck with the person who takes you to the prom...even if someone else comes along. I believe you can apply to both and then chose, bu...

First...contratulations! They says that a LOT at orientation, so I'm sorry you missed that part. Ok, I can only speak of the Anderson Campus....but, it sounds pretty similar on your tests. For us...the background/drug test is due by August 5th. M...

KPage...I never did see the PM. It's usually not my style to ignore someone, unless it's a telemarketer at 2am. Wow. I'm sitting here stunned about how things turned out. Amazing. REALLY wish I'd seen your message about the open slots. It would...

Faypha....THAT'S GREAT news!!!:cheers: Can't believe after all this time and all the posting, we're going to be in the same program! I'm SO happy for you. Wow! Oh, at the orientation meeting say "hi." I'll be the guy with rugged good looks, chi...

GOT the CALL....I'm in the ASN program for East-Central Region!!! :clpty::clpty::clpty::clpty: Can't tell you how long I've wanted to use the "party people" button! I don't know if it's Anderson or Muncie, but I feel so blessed today! Meeting with f...

Faypha....I've not checked the message boards in a week. It's odd....when I was waiting, I checked 3x a day. Finally had "board burn-out." :) Well, I never did hear from Indy after their rejection letter. Kokomo sent a rejection, then called last...

Faypha...sorry about the delayed response. I just don't check the message boards as much now.... Got denied in both Indy and Lafayette with a 165. Alternate for Anderson, which is really where I want to go. It's 15 minutes from the house. I have t...

Well....got the word today there are 15 alternate slots from East Central Region. They got slammed with folks from Indy applying. I'm on the 'alternate list,' but fairly low. Hope they take a LOT of alternates this year.....

Faypha...amazing! I'm so happy for you on Lafayette! Several good friends have said 'don't worry about being an 'alternate.' They were alternates and it worked out fine. The big meeting is July 8th. I'll hopefully know something by then... Limbo lo...

Faypha....you have a nice way of knocking someone over the head. You're right. I hit a 165.1 and that might just do it. Too close for comfort, though. Read on one of the message boards there might be 15 alternates for East Central Region. The lowest ...

Faypha...I'm SO sorry about your third denial. After all these months I feel like all of us would have gotten along well in school. This is the first chance I've had to get to a computer. And I got to tell ya, my stomach is STILL in knots. Got the...

Yup, Faypha....might as well enjoy the weekend. So much for "on or before May 30th." Next time a research paper is due think I'll use the "on or before" excuse...then sent it after that date. Ok, probably not!:) Have a great Memorial Day everyone...

For those waiting on East Central....no letter today. Got a motorcycle magazine, a bill, request for donations, and flyer for something. The one letter I want didn't come... "The letter will come tomorrow, tomorrow...bet your bottom dollar that tomor...

Well, the good news...got the Indy letter today. Strike 2. Didn't get in. It's up to Anderson, which was my first choice anyway. Good luck today!

I like the "tradition" of sending actual letters, but come on...it's not 1950. This is one of the things Ivy Tech should consider adjusting in the future. Just a thought....as I sit by the mailbox for another day. "Hey, you kids get out of my yard...

Congrats Red Hot....good news indeed. We're in the same boat on waiting on the Muncie region. You've got me beat with a 171.56....hopefully there are TWO slots.

Faypha....I should have checked HERE before going home for lunch! Nothing but a bill, note from by brother-in-law about his new command, and a letter asking me to support international healthcare. It was the last one which caused me to chuckle...."...

Seems Kokomo got things done fairly quickly, I've not heard about Terre Haute. Checked the mailbox at lunch....nothing from Anderson or Indy, either. (My mailman was joking with me and said she would write "accepted" on the envelope when it came......

Thanks rk...one down, two to go. :) Got to say, though, the photocopied form letter DID hit me the wrong way a bit. We have ALL spent a lot of money in classes, books, supplies and other things just to be able to apply. WE had to have original do...

The Kokomo letter came today. The first two words sorta gave it away. "I regret...." was about as far as I got. It wasn't even on letterhead, just a photo copy of a form letter on letterhead. Geez. It was the third choice for me, but would have be...

Thanks, Faypha. Before this all started I kept hearing "scores are lower this time." They might be lower...but not low enough for me. Who knows. The Kokomo letter will hopefully be in the mail tomorrow and I'll know that part. THEN wait on the o...

Mamma Fields....sorry, I missed your post earlier. I hit a 75.1 adjusted TEAS...so, I'm going into the game with a 165.1. Hope it's enough...we'll see. Applied to Kokomo, Indy, and Anderson. Pulling for Anderson, it's a lot closer.

Couldn't stand the wait...and drove home to check. NOTHING....rats

Faypha....I'm so sorry to hear about your news. You'll be in my thoughts today. I'd applied to Kokomo, Indy, and Anderson. If the letters are here....well, I'll find out tonight. Tempting to drive home for lunch, but honestly, I'm somewhat scared...
