Here is a link to a FB group for Spring 2020 Mobility students. There's a security question that you will have to refer to the acceptance letter to answer. We want to make sure we keep bots and trolls out! https://www.facebook.com/groups/243045539967010/?ref=bookmarks

What's meant to be will be. I didn't get in last year because a transcript didn't get sent due to a really crazy issue. But my grandmother went on hospice in January and I took care of her until she passed. I fully believe God knew when the right timing was for me. He knows for you, too. ❤️

I have a friend who was on the alternate list last year and got in. Many people applied to multiple programs. Hang in there! You may well be with us in the Spring!

I’m in!

Okay, the letters are out! Who is in?

It looks like we may have to wait until Monday or Tuesday to find out. The waiting is the worst part, for sure.

Anyone else get this email?

Also DJ deserves a freaking Christmas gift from every single one of us even if we don’t get in. That woman has the patience of a saint and is always so nice despite us calling with a million questions! ?

Getting answers and getting it done. Yes, girl. That’s RN material!

@rjellew No. They are separate. If you check the registration for Spring 2019, there were 119 total seats in 112, i.e. 119 accepted to the full program. There were 36 total seats in 209, i.e. the mobility program. They can change those numbers as they see fit and it isn't always a set number. If they only have 32 that they think can actually succeed in the mobility program, they can choose to only take 32. Like if there are 32 students with 38 or more points and then a bit gap and the rest are 34 or lower, that would be a reasonable place for a cutoff. Same with the full program. These are general ballparks of how many are typically accepted in a given semester based on past trends and what we have heard directly from the nursing department staff.

@kjocres If you have As in all of your classes, you have 45 points. The GPA isn't an additional set of points, it's just a minimum requirement. You add up: ACT + Points for four core classes ( A=3, B=2) and the ten points for the dosage exam.

I believe I have 45. I took those prerecs when I was about 20 and didn't care, so my grades were very "meh". Thankfully, I had a strong ACT to carry me. Aced the test, so that's ten points. Most people I've spoke with have between 34-39 points. I did speak with someone who said that she'd been told only 79 applied and there are typically 150 applicants. It looks like they take 36. So good luck and hope to see you in class! I just want to get this thing done. Should have done it 15 years ago, but c'est la vie!

I’m applying for Mobility (almost 15 years after graduating as an LPN) so our points are slightly different. We had to take a dosage calculation exam and make at least a 90. But it was really easy, so I assume everyone got that ten points. For us it will just come down to ACT and the points for those four classes. My ACT is good, so I’m hoping that carries me. If not, oh well. Might be God saying it’s time to change direction.

Mine looks the same.

Letters were mailed today! Good luck, everyone!!!
