“The generation younger than mine is the WORST one yet!” - Anyone Who Ever Lived (date unknown)

I started my job as a new grad in October. I was simultaneously completing a school program during these past 10 months. If I had it to do over again, I wouldn't, and I would advise everyone against it. I feel that I'm not as good of a nurse as I cou...

Is there anyone else that was on that tiny list of students drawn in the lottery today? I was, and I'm so excited! :) What do we do now, wait for something in the mail?

The girl at the counter yesterday didn't seem to think they were available that way... but I'd be interested to hear if someone else gets different info. If they don't sell used nursing books, that would mean they also don't buy them back. That seems...

I went to the bookstore today to ask for a little clarity on the book situation. This is what the girl there said: the books are ONLY available in the bundles (e-book or e-book + actual books). On their website they list the book bundle as well as a ...

Whoa, that handout was not in my packet. That's a little disconcerting...

Angela did you call to ask them? I looked through everything I have and can't find where is says to mail in hard copies. With the exception of the Essential Functions form.

Hi Angela, I'm sorry you're having a tough time finding a place. I'm sure you've tried this already, but I think the best place to look is on Craigslist. What's your budget?

I won't be able to work during the program, and I can't get loans either because I already have a bachelor's degree. I'll have to rely on savings and friends and family. If you've filled out your FAFSA and you have a low income, you can qualify for t...

The good news is: I got my packet! The bad news is: it was postmarked yesterday...which means they are not being truthful when we ask them questions on the phone

Congratulations! Still no packet for me either. I called today, but I got the same answer I've gotten every time: "They went out. Call back next week if you still don't have it." I just hope I'm not missing any important deadlines Hopefully I'll see...

Oh man! I'm glad you finally got yours. Mine never came. When is the picnic?

I haven't gotten mine yet. I did get a call today though because of a problem they had finding my test scores, and the lady said that the packet will go out tomorrow (Thursday) so hopefully that's true. Now I don't know if they're sending them out to...

Okay, thanks so much!

Someone called me on Wednesday and said that they'd never received my TEAS scores! I sent them on the 2nd, along with my acceptance form. They seemed a little confused because I had the confirmation email and everything. That freaks me out a little, ...

:sour:Well, nothing in the mail today for me. This is pretty frustrating.

It's a bit of a power trip. I've noticed that the nursing programs at the other schools I applied to are similarly withholding with basic information. I totally understand your frustration. You need to make a pretty big life change if you're in and y...

Oh man...another week? Okay, I'll try to be patient. Thanks so much for the updates!

I haven't heard anything since sending my acceptance form and test scores. I guess we're waiting for packets to be mailed or emailed? Apparently they were available at the school on Thursday. Campus is closed Fri-Sat-Sun, so I'm gonna give it til Tue...

Yay! Congratulations to you, how exciting! And thanks for the info on the packet. I suppose I'll have to try calling tomorrow, or maybe Thursday since that's when they'll be available.

I got my email! I filled out the form, sent it back, then had my TEAS score sent to them. I think next we're supposed to receive a packet with info about the background screening and drug test. I read in LMC threads from previous years that the packe...

Thanks for the update! All this waiting is making me crazy...

I'm not positive, but I'm assuming the "cut score" they're talking about is the adjusted individual total score.

Good luck! I'm sure you'll do fine. Remember, you only need 62 to pass.

Yukyville I keep doing the same thing: checking and double-checking that that was really my ID # on the list. I feel really excited and impatient and I just wish they would've sent the email. I don't quite understand why they wait once the list has b...
