Can I ask you guys when you sent in your deposit? I ask because I just sent mine in, and haven't received my contract yet. Trying not to let my mind wander, hoping that there is a link between sending in your deposit before they mail you that contract. I'm thinking I'll send Catherine an email on Monday if I haven't gotten the contract by then!

I haven't received my contract yet. When did you get yours?

Okay, I may be crazy or facebook could just be causing me issues for no reason, But I searched and couldn't find the event! Any chance it isn't public?

Okay, so I tried to start our facebook group, but it won't let me create the group without inviting one of my friends (so annoying!) so I was hoping to become friends with someone on fb through here, then it will be open for others to join! So difficult I know. So if someone wouldn't mind PM me then we can get this show on the road!! 2 MONTHS!!! I'm getting so excited! Sent my deposit in yesterday! Hoping I'll start to hear more once that goes through!

Where are you guys taking chem? I'm in general chem 1 at Nova. Let's all decide on a name for the facebook group and I'll work on starting it.

Wow Cobalt25, that sounds so awesome, kinda sad I already live in Arlington. Although I'm pretty happy here! But to Minlat- I live in Arlington VA off of Columbia Pike near the pentagon. I think it is a pretty safe neighborhood and cheaper that Rosslyn, or Ballston areas of Arlington. I'm planning on taking metro to Rosslyn and either walking or taking the Georgetown bus to campus (my sister works at the Georgetown hospital and uses the bus. She says it comes regularly and often). As far as clinicals I am planning on driving, or carpooling- as I know I'll be headed to WHC often I'm hoping to find other people who live in my area. I would say that for clinicals we will have to be at the hospital fairly early and taking buses and metro will mean you will have to be up even earlier. Public transit will cost you at least 1.50 each way, so I figure with carpooling the price of parking won't be much more expensive and will hopefully mean a bit later wake up on those mornings! I think it depends on if you are WHC or not- because your clinicals will vary. But ease of getting to campus will be important. Where are you moving in from? Also the cohort before us has a facebook group (Georgetown University Fall 2011 ABSN) so you could ask them for advice too!

Well, now that both emails are in, it is starting to feel official! Anyone else get the WHC scholarship?

I'm sorry to hear that the email didn't contain good news for you. I hope you don't give up on your plans to pursue nursing. It could have easily been one of us not getting in, so know that I am truly sorry for the pain you are feeling now.

Hello there- I just got my acceptance letter for a 16 month Second Degree BSN! And I would love some advice from everyone about what its like to be a new nursing student. Any tips you can send my way? What kind of bag did you use? Traditional back pack or rolling one? supplies? little tricks that you swear by? I'm open to anything you may say! Thanks! Jen

So happy to get that email!! I'm so excited to be a part of this class! Now just have to hear from WHC to find out if I can afford it! I hope it was good news for you all too!

So now you are waiting on an email from Laura about when we are getting the email. Kinda hilarious! Totally agree on owing you a drink!!

So I guess we won't be hearing anything tonight! I'm so ready to know what my life will be like in a few months!

HA! I'm slightly less excited to walk downstairs and check my mail though! The only time I've ever gotten one of those mugs it was broken into several hundred pieces in the box! I think that I may pour myself a giant glass of wine at 5pm.

Yeah I am literally sitting at my computer checking my email every five minutes and running to the mailbox every 20 minutes. At this point I just want to know, even if it is terrible news. Although I'd prefer good news!!

You are not the only one!!! I think this must be some crazy test to see which one of us tweeks out while waiting!!! The worst thing is that I had no idea when we got the last email. It was out of the blue! I kind of wish they hadn't told us the date that we were going to find out. We'd be blissfully unaware right now!! I find that I check my email every two seconds, and when I do get an email first I panic, then I get excited, then I feel let down because it isn't the email I'm waiting for!!
