Just got my acceptance letter for kingwood!! Wahoo. My points were 11.7796 check ur mail kingwooders!!!

Oh poop! I am sorry she is ill but- is there any update as to when the letters will be sent out?? It seems like if there was something like this going on, they would or should send a mass email to all of us in limbo- They were supposed to go out in September which was 8 days ago.. That seems like a long time to have a delay from something like that. Again, I am sympathetic and hope she gets better soon but, my life is currently on pause and my nerves are on end waiting to get some news so I can make plans for next semester. There is an accountability they should uphold by communicating with us. As of right now, they are being very passive by telling us when we call that "letters will be sent out in the next two weeks" instead of just saying "I apologize for the delay in letters being sent, the nursing director has been very ill and has caused us to get behind in processing the letters .. You should hear something in the next couple of weeks"

lol. I love your dancing super heros, the hopeful! Congrats on getting in. I am still bummed that kingwood is dragging- RRR! I hope I get something in the mail tomorrow because I dont know if I have the patience to wait until Tuesday or later!

I feel the same- I am SO excited for everyone who has gotten their letters! But, come on Kingwood... *****?

I know , u guys have the worst deal.. Because u still have not technically been tol yes or no. Hope you know something soon!!!

Congrats to those who have gotten letters. It looks like the majority of us have a score a little bit above hope.. I hope that means that of us above her on that list get acceptance letters soon! I hope everyone else gets picked as an alternate And actually gets into the program!! My fingers are crossed for those on the alternate list!!

No mail again. This is unbelievable.

This is very frustrating. I was hoping when I signed on here, I would see how many people were excited about getting their letters- only to find out that the schools have not even began sending them! This is silly. The website says that letters are sent in "September".. we are in October. I don't understand why it is acceptable for them to not be on the ball about things when all of us have been? Part of me wonders if they wait longer just to mess with us because we are "bothering them to call and ask about it". The kingwood people are not very nice when you call. I have emailed Valerie several times over the last few weeks and I FINALLY got a response that says nothing more then "Letters will be going out in the next two weeks" This was 10 days ago... When I have called, she never answers and I leave voicemails but she does NOT return the calls. The one time she did answer, it sounded like it was by accident because she was like "Oh.. Hello?" I asked if letters had been sent or if she knew the cut off and she said "Ma'am the deadline to turn the applications in was JUST two weeks ago, we haven't even begun to look through the applications." I was stunned. I said "Oh, well the website says they go out this month.. this month is over in a few days".. her response: "Okay ma'am. Well, like I said we havent even began to look at them". I am trying to be patient and I am usually a nice person but it seems like they are really dragging on this. They need to keep us more informed. We are PAYING to go to college there and we have all invested a lot in this for them to be treating us like we are bothering them by asking simple questions. Make a website to keep pre-nursing students updated! Duh! Then, there wouldnt be so many phone calls... OR just send crap out when it is promised to be sent out!! Not acceptable.. very dissapointed. I think my frustration is coming from waiting so long... and also the delay in financial aid going through.. it was supposed to be applied to your account on 9/28 and the day of 9/28 they updated the message to say it was not going to start until 10/3...and, of course it is STILL NOT IN! I just hate waiting for things so, sorry if I am being ugly or offending anyone- just needed to vent. Hope we find out some stuff real soon

I agree with you ladies!!!

Jessa- That sounds accurate.. I was looking at posts from last year (The Spring 2011 forum) and it looks like people got notification letters as soon as September 29... I am getting antsy, along with the rest of you guys waiting for a letter!!! What was everyones score again and what was your preferred school? Mine was 11.7796 and I am hoping to get into Kingwood!

You can take pharm before the program starts- I think if you get accepted it has to be taken in the first semester or second semester of nursing school

So, there are 9 more days until the deadline.. Does anyone know when they start sending letters out? Is it right after that??

Woo Hoo! You have great scores! Congrats/ Are you also going to apply to the RN program?

Although it is not required to apply to the program, it is listed on the website as an "Admission Criteria". It wouldn't hurt to go ahead and obtain it because it will be good for two years and you will have plenty to do once you get admitted into the program! It is a wise choice to try and get it out of the way while you can! :)

I have never taken one in the Katy area.. I know most colleges offer a CPR course, and most fire stations or EMS departments do. Cypress Creek EMS and Harris County ESD are closer to that area than Conroe.. and may have some offerings. There is a place called CPR NOW on 1960, I think.. and also MCHD, AMR, and Lonestar-Montgomery... You can also look on the American Heart Association website and search your area for places/people that are certified to teach a healthcare provider class.
