Got my acceptance letter from Good Sam on Friday so now I'm on the waiting list. Hopefully I will start August 2006 but possibly January 2007 depending on enrollments. I started some pre-reqs. at Raymond Walters College last week. Appreciate everyones post to this thread.

Thanks for your response. My first choice is Good Sam and my second is UC. It's just difficult not knowing if I'm going to get accepted. When I talked to someone at Good Sam about a month ago, she seemed pretty positive about me getting in but being on the waiting list. She didn't say how long I would be on the waiting list. She said since UC is on quarters that I would need 2 quarters of Psychology and Sociology to equal 1 semester. So I am enrolled at UC in the fall taking Chemistry and Psychology. I plan on taking Psychology and Sociology in the winter and then finish up Sociology in the spring. She recommended that I take A&P at Good Sam. She said they are reviewing applications in August/September. How long did it take you to get into Good Sam? How long did it take you to graduate? I am also curious to what kind of schedule I will have if I attend full time as a have a 3 year old and a kindergartener this year? I am determined to make it work regardless of the schedule. Again, I appreicate your responses.

I did call Christ and requested a packet of information but they I was told that they were in the process of printing new packet and they took my address and said they would mail one this month. My concern about taking the classes that the advisor at Good Sam recommended is that if I end up not getting in and pursuing my degree at UC then the courses will be a waste of time. I'm starting to wonder if I should just stick with UC and work on the prereqs. that I need there and hope for the best. Thanks for the advice and response. I definitely want to make a decision prior to fall so I can start school in the fall. I have two kids and a husband and want to start and finish in the shortest amount of time as possible due to medical insurance reason.

I have applied for the nursing program at Good Samaritan but they are not reviewing applications until Fall and the advisor told me today that the chances are slim for acceptance January 2006 and if accepted will be August of 2006. The University of Cincinnati has an associate program at a branch college (Raymond Walters College) but has a two year waiting list. I am planning on starting at UC in the fall working on my prerequisites. My question is does it matter if you get your degree from a private school versus a univerisity. Is it eaiser to get a job with a degree from one college over another. Another concern is that the advisor at Good Samaritan suggested I take Intro to Psychology I & II and Intro to Sociology I & II at another school so if I am acceptable I have those classes out of the way. The probably with that is if I don't get accepted to Good Samaritan then taking those classes aren't necessary for the Univerisity of Cincinnati since I have taken Psychology & Sociology classes that are not Intro classes but classes that are part of their nursing cirriculum. I'm kinda hoping for Good Samaritan due to the fact that if I am accepted I can finish in 3 years versus 4 years at University of Cincinnati. Anyone have experience with either of these programs? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
