Hello! I just got in for Gateway's traditional program starting Spring '16. I applied on 12/22/14 and was accepted for the Fall '15 program, but I was accepted late (mid-July and class started in 4 weeks) and did not have enough time to get everything together since I was going on vacation so I used my one deferral. I never asked where I was on the wait-list so I don't really know if you can find out. Try asking an adviser. You should be able to send them an email. You are told you have been accepted via email then they also send you a letter in the mail. You can accept placement through your application status page, but you MUST mail, fax, or hand deliver your signed letter. I submitted my acceptance online and faxed in the letter yesterday (10/4).

My advice is to do the best you can, but if it isn't working, quit. Don't wait to look for another job. Just get out to avoid any serious issues putting your license at risk. Good luck!

Hello! I was wondering if I could get some help. I took math, English, and psychology courses that would cover the pre-reqs at MCC and ASU, BUT, they were taken more than 8 years ago. My advisor didn't mention anything about these courses being too old, but she did mention how my biology class in high school "wouldn't count because it was taken more than 7 years ago." I didn't think at the time to ask about the other courses. I just asked her if the ones I registered for (BIO 181, A&P, and CHM 130) were the right ones. Since it's the weekend, I can't contact her. So I'm looking for some help. Are these classes too old to be considered for MCC and ASU? Thanks!

I'm taking General Biology (BIO 181) this summer starting in about a month then Human Anatomy and Physiology I (BIO 201) and Fundamental Chemistry (CHM 130) this fall. Those are the only pre-requisites I needed since I've already taken the others the last time I went to college. The advisor didn't mention it, but I'm a little worried my English classes are too old to be accepted. I took those 8 years ago. If I have to retake them, I will. Oh well! But of course I'd rather not especially since I earned a BA 3 years ago. It was in film so completely different from this :) I'd really like to take a faster route. I heard about the concurrent enrollment program (CEP) which sounds fine, but I'm more interested in the post-bac option. I'd need to speak with a university advisor on that one, though. Do you have any advice or tips to give me on these classes or the CEP or post-bac options? I'd love to hear what you think! I'm so excited! I can't wait to be back in school and starting this journey. I have had a dream of being an obgyn nurse for about 10 years! I'm finally being daring enough to go for it. Thanks in advance for any responses.

You should look into getting a tutor on campus. I am not in nursing school (yet), but I attended college already and we had free tutoring. You should definitely sit with your instructor and talk about the issues. Tell him it isn't right for him to require so much out-of-class work. If you're having problems with his methods you should contact the department head or some kind of director. They might be able to change that. Worst case scenario is that you retake the class. Pick a differently instructor in that case. Keep working though. You can do it!!!
