Thats awesome I'm glad it worked out!

If you added yourself to our Concordia facebook group message me there your number or email so I can take pictures of how to submit your payment. I'd also trying calling their office today to let them know you have yet to receive your packet. Let me know.

They will send out separate instructions for registration I think. They just want the deposit by Monday 8am. Id give them a call to double check. After they clear the deposit will they let us register

When you type in the name to Facebook you have to change the search option to "groups" it popped up for me then!! :)

Hi my name is Tabita Fruichantie!

Got my email too! I'm excited to start a new chapter with this cohort!!!

I'd like to hear back too from them I made alternate but I have no idea how they select people. August is when it's cut off

nope

Nope nothing here

Alternate...I feel like this is the hunger games. May the odds be ever in our favor. Back to waiting, good luck everyone!

when you say "post" you mean in the mail right?

Some people were emailed rejection notifications, why would there be some candidates who didn't hear at all? That sounds a little inconsistent. I don't need anyone paying postage to say "sorry no thanks" I would have appreciated an email when they said they would be sent out no matter how many times they've changed those dates. I'm trying to be optimistic but still!

Me too! I'd like to not have a heart attack when ever I hear the sound of reieving an email

yeah I find that strange that they haven't just sent out all their rejection letters at once and their admittance and alternates as well. To be honest I'm hoping all the rejection emails have been sent and received and we are just waiting back to hear if we are admits or alternates. I refresh my email every chance I get and hold my break just like justeen23 mentioned. The struggle is real. Good luck everyone!!

Just as I am about to eat I lose my appetite. Good luck to everyone on here thanks for the love and support!

I won't let the mail man deliver me anything then...my fate lies in the US postal services hands...

Yikes! That's nerve racking!! Thank you for the update :)

Thank you so much for the update!! Really appreciate it!

I really appreciate all the great feedback everyone! It was a great moral booster! I am very dedicated to wanting to better myself and like you have mentioned I need to look at the overall package and see where I can improve and how I can move forward making myself that much more desirable as a candidate. I feel like at this point in my life, with my struggles and trials, a rejection letter is just another opportunity for me to go back to the drawing board to better qualify myself. It was really inspiring to hear everyones story and advice! Thank you all very much!

thanks snailszy! I am curious if the people selected for the early acceptance days play into the 50 student size for this cohort. I desperately want to get into this cohort! I am so ready to meet great new people and work together to change lives! The anticipation is getting the better of me!! I hope we hear back soon.

So I am sure there are several people out there who can relate to the awful feeling that is receiving that Nursing school's letter in the mail and holding what is to be your fate right in your hands. Upon opening the letter and scanning the first paragraph for a "Congratulations we want you!" but rather you find the school beating around the bush about their program and all of the other applicants and how glorious they were, when your eyes fall on those few words like "we are denying your application" "the application pool was very competitive, therefor we are rejecting your application at this time" "God bless and don't give up on your journey" ect ect. That feeling of utter horror, that a few small grouping of words can have such an impact on your overall being that it literally sucks the air out of you and you feel sadly overwhelmed with loss. Maybe it's just me being dramatic. I can't say I've felt this way often, yet when there is something that you desperately want, and are destined for greatness, it sort of just makes me feel inadequate. So what is next? That the honest to God question that I have. When I evaluate myself as a student, my grades suffered after I left community college and went to a UC to study Psychology. What I thought was going to be the best time of my life ended up being the most difficult and undeniably expensive part of my life. With 400+ students cramming the classrooms and uninterested professors I longed for smaller cohorts of students and perhaps a cheaper alternative to the expensive coffee and baguette I would buy to keep myself awake and more so interested. I ended up with a 2.9 GPA and a sour taste in my mouth because I chose to work full time while being a full time student. Obviously, I blame no one but myself for my grades, that is my greatest regret having not dedicated myself to my schooling. I worked incredibly hard my last year and received better marks, so I can at least be humbled by the idea that I did try and for the better made two friendships with my classmates. I decided that despite having a bachelors in another field I would pursue Nursing. I was fortunate to have done much better in my science subjects this time around at a JC because I got it together. I began working as a CNA at a UC Neuropsychology facility and gained a lot of great experience and insight to the field of Nursing. Experiences needed so that I can one day apply myself to this (or more medical) kind of patient care. I got my letters of recommendation from credible staff and wrote and rewrote my statement of intents and have over 2000 hours of experience. Then I applied to ABSN/ELM Nursing programs Sadly like I have mentioned before, I excitingly open mail from these schools only to feel a little hopeless. How do I continue my journey? My coworkers say I am still just a baby (25) and I have all the time in the world to go to school then get married and have kids, and they constantly ask me what the news is from my schools when I reply with the "not this time". Yet I am desperate to finish my schooling so that I may begin what is to be my life. I love nursing, I love the idea of being able to work with people and help them get better. I don't want to diagnose, I want to treat! I want the patient care, I want to interact with people and work as a team! I may seem average on paper, but if you ever met me you'll see I am passionate and dedicated to my work. So...do I apply to an ADN program? Do I just start over and possibly be faced with the struggle of finding a job because nowadays Hospitals want Bachelors degrees. Do I go back and put in another 4 years for an RN to BSN program? I applied to the ABSN programs and even those programs all want a mishmosh of prerequisites that all differ. I know this post may seem like just a rant, but I do intend on staying positive for my sanity's sake. I am not going to give up my dream, I just may have to make some tweaks and adjustments to achieve it. I just dislike the not knowing feeling. Anyone with suggestions or advice is greatly appreciated. This thread is for support and venting opportunities. We are all strong, and capable of entering into this field to change lives and for the better I hope. Thanks for Reading

Hey everyone! Anyone interview in January and still haven't heard back? That is kind of where I am right now. I am assuming that if people from the late February interviews have already heard back its safe to say maybe I and others from January may not be hearing any good news? Don't mean to be pessimistic but just trying to not hold on to hope since we are heading into the end of the second week of March. Any advice or feedback would be greatly appreciated!
