From my understanding you will go four days a week. The classes aren't all day long and there is an elliptical in the break room

I found out today that I was wait listed.

Did everyone get phone calls? Or letters?

I still haven't heard . I even called my adviser. Frustrated... Congrats to those that got in

Congrats!

Nothing here... They're killing me!!!

I know!! Every time the mail comes I keep thinking it'll be in it but it's not! Come on already!!

Anyone gotten their letters yet?!

The waiting is horrible. I hope you get in. So frustrating!

I found out that I'm in for summer of 2014!

I emailed the admissions office about once a month from November on. When I first asked I was 31 summer, 51 fall of 2014 and 30 for spring of 2015. Then I asked again in January and I was #14 for summer, #21 for fall of 2014 and #3 for spring 2015. I emailed them again last Wednesday and was given a spot in Spring 2015. I was told that I was #2 summer and #10 fall of 2014 and given a spot in Spring 2015. I got the call Friday that a spot was available in summer 2014. There is a lot of movement . It can't hurt to email them and find out where you are.

I got the call Friday to start in summer . I'm still holding out hope for Maryville . It would just be easier with work and kids. It's nice to know I got in somewhere though

Anyone starting Goldfarb this summer on the Mo Bap campus?

I've worked at a few now. They start anywhere from $9.50 to $9.75 an hour

STLCC- also offers a PCT training program. It's free and they join with several different hospitals. I did it and got a job right away

And now I'm #2 for summer, #10 for fall of 2014 and I've been given a spot in spring 2015 if nothing else opens up

I know my friend was at St Mary's last semester . We also go to Mercy, Mo Bap, St Lukes and other hospitals . When we get to community nursing and adult health we could go to nursing homes and clinics. My friend went Tuesday and Thursday evenings for classes and the classes could last until 11 pm some nights if need be. Her clinicals were on alternating Sundays . This semester she goes Monday, Wednesday and Thursday evenings. The labs or classes can start as early as 4:30pm. I have a friend that works full time and goes to Maryville and she has two children. She says that it's do-able. You just have to be very organized.

Well I can't remember everything.. think I've blocked it out. I know that anything below a 78% is failing. The course work load is massive. There will be an orientation for those that have been accepted and wait listed and they go into more detail then but that was also scary.

Tell me about it! My best friend is in the program now and the stuff she tells me has me so scared!

I heard that they were asking new students if they had any medical background . They never asked me. I think that I've told them what I do but I don't think that they recorded it or anything. At this point I figure if I get in then I get in. If I don't I'm exploring my options. I have friends in the nursing program and it's a lot more involved than we were initially told. I recall being told that classes were two days a week every other week but it's every week and that doesn't include clinicals. You also have to schedule times to get signed off on skills. I don't know if this is for every semester but so far they go three days a week, every week for 16 weeks.I know that every cohort they make changes. I guess they are still working out the bugs or every cohort has it's own set of needs.

My adviser told me that last year the last person to get in had a 3.4. However when I spoke with an actual nursing advisor she told me that it was 3.2. I've learned to take everything with a grain if salt. You hear so many rumors and crazy stories. I'm applying to a few places. Maryville is my first choice but I need to have options if I don't get in this semester. I don't want to wait any longer . Typically the letters go out the last week of February. They have the lady two years that I know of.

Only about a month to go till we know!!

I just found out that I am now #14 on the summer 2014 wait list. I went from #31 to #14 in about a month. Makes me excited to see if I'll actually get in this summer then..

I called December 2nd and was told that my numbers on the wait lists were: Summer 2014:31 Fall 2014: 51 Spring 2015: 30 The representative I spoke to said not to rule out Spring 2015.. none of those numbers look promising to me

Junkmurse .. You think so? The admin rep told me not to count out spring of 2015. Being 51 on the fall 2015 wait list seems like a long shot but I forgot how many they took into the UD program each term . I'm on the wait list at the Mo Bap campus. I had read on here to call every couple weeks or so to see if there has been any movement. I just don't want to hurry up and take a college algebra class if I'm going to have several semesters to complete it.
