Also, Mrs. Olson doesn't know yet that I'm in nursing school...I've told only a couple of my closest friends at Red Pump. I'd like to tell our principal before it gets out to everyone else, so please don't say anything to Laura yet. Or if you have ...

Congrats! I think we're all probably feeling the same way haha. I saw our schedule yesterday- looks intense, but fun. I am looking forward to meeting our classmates on Tuesday at the workshop.

rsal27, yes I did get in! I am excited and nervous! Are you an HCC student, too? AmbitiousBSN, moving this to the MD forum is a good idea, but I don't know how to do that. Can you tell me what to do in order to move it? Thanks, Katie
I am applying for the 2014 WEA program at HCC. Any info/tips, etc. that you can provide would be much appreciated. I have completed all pre-reqs except A&P 2, which I am taking this spring. Took the TEAS-V yesterday. I have a bachelor's degr...
