pcatorn, Congrats! See you soon!

polysuazo, I'm so happy for you! I remember you from last years forums, and I was really rooting for you this year! I will see you in June...and August...and September! LOL!

Congrats jules!

I got into Gateway! Thank you god!

Aaahhh! The application status link is gone! This is it! The 'magical' link telling us whether we will be accepted/waitlisted should be up soon!

I did it by email. It says in the letter who you should appeal to. Their email address is in the letter.

pdd14, If you check the letter, it says you can appeal. If you can show that you requested the transcript before the deadline, and it was sent in before then, then you can appeal to school of first choice, and have them fix it. I too got an ineligibl...

Hi All, I thought I would start a new topic for those of us who are planning to apply to BHSN's Nursing program for the Fall 2013. I will get things started with my stats (which aren't great...but not too terrible!): TEAS - 78% (planning to re-take)...

NAM2bRN: No...Gateway is perfect! They really want you to succeed. I wish that I felt differently, but during the 3 day orientation, I couldn't shake the feeling that I didn't belong there...it's hard to explain.

NAM2bRN: I don't know where you are on the waitlist, but I just wanted you to know that I have given up my seat at Gateway. I just didn't think I belonged. I hope that you get my spot, and good luck.

We were usually split 50 for fall and 50 for spring, but now they've combined the two for fall start only....so 98 total in one class. Should be interesting!!

mskrisRN2B: Congrats, girl! Way to go and good luck!

I'm an introverted agoraphobic! And I like being that way! Since I got accepted into nursing school, all I've heard is...."You HAVE to be assertive in nursing school and clinicals if you want to survive!" Why?? Are there no shy, good, caring nurses o...

LOL!!

Lorirn2b: We have similarities that are freaky! I do use humor a lot in tough, perceived awkward situations. I too married a man who considers himself 'the' social butterfly! And that has helped me(because I really had no choice!)to come out of my sh...

AlliD: I have to admit, I'm both shy AND introverted...oy vey(thanks mum and dad!) It's interesting to see that this comes up a lot. People assume that there is something wrong with you if your not talking all the time during lectures, clinicals, or ...

ricksy: I have to admit that some of that definition is true for me. I lack self confidence, and as I mentioned, I'm an agoraphobic....fear of crowds, or being around people! I have learned how to deal with this part of my persona over the years. My...

Stcroix: Thanks for the good advice! I have one question for you. Did your instructors ever comment about your quiet demeanor. Or did you 'transform' in such a way that they didn't notice, and how did it feel to be a 'chameleon'?

Thanks nurseladybug12. This is exactly what I was hoping to hear. You can be yourself and still be a good advocate for your patients. I found too that the patients I did deal with were always appreciative of my quiet demeanor. You give me hope. Thank...

man-nurse2b: I've read your other postings, especially the one about how to survive the 1st semester of nursing school! You inspire me, because you hung in there, and didn't give up. You went through what I went through my 1st semester, and toughed i...

chrisrn24: I like your comment! I like the idea of not having to be loud, but still heard. I'm happy to see that 'shy' nurses are out there, and they are fierce! Thanks guys!

Wow! Amazing responses....I knew I could count on you guys to tell me exactly what I needed to hear! It's not about me....a problem I had my first time around in the program....it's about my patients. I can definitely speak up and out for them! Love ...

sevenup0307: So fake 'til you make it basically! Got yah! Thanks!:)

Wow! I can't believe they waited until after you were accepted to tell you that they would not accept your permanent resident card! This was my big issue with them...I applied 2 times before, and was rejected because they would not accept my card, ev...

Kmonte: That is so exciting! I can't wait to start in August. Good luck to you, and don't forget to have fun and learn lots!
