I was an alternate for the Spring 2015 program. I just barely missed the cut. But I easily made it this time around. Anyways, DONT give up hope. How many points did you have? If you make an...

I just signed up for the Toolbox class that will be held this summer. I took it over Christmas break and it was great. I highly recommend it for anyone going into the program this fall. NURS 285...

From my experiences, avoid the possible upcoming issues and report your scripts to the dean (or whoever who should see it) now. That way, when it comes up "positive", you'll already be covered INSTEAD...

I guess I'll find out Friday. My packet doesn't have the CSN website describing where to get that info. It just says that congrats on being an alternate, that I need to go to the next TWO mandatory...
