I got in! I am actually graduating in 9 days!!! You should get in!! Good luck to you!

Thank you very much! And yes ma'am, I will continue to let you guys know if I learn of anything that may benefit you!

July 1st seems sort of early? but I guess if they know all the candidates are 100% sure they are attending maybe so? But in my opinion, anything could happen last minute...We don't have the mandatory orientation until July 9th, so technically if you miss that then you are dropped. AND it may be at that point that someone may decide they can't attend bc we will also find out our schedule at orientation..I will update you guys after I attend the orientation, and let you know if I hear of anyone who plans on not attending. Don't give up hope though! It's still just May!

Great! Glad you got it all worked out!! I said the same thing about the costs of things! Idk what I would do if I didn't have my husband's support!! Sheesh! bc It all adds up! Not to mention I have to get a new laptop bc the one I've had is waaaay too old....but again, I too am happy to be given the opportunity in the first place so I won't complain!!! I will look for you at the orientation, My last name is Mcgill and first inital J. What's yours?

Nikki, I don't know anyone at magnolia. I will be at the Straw Plains campus. And there is a TON of things to do in the D2L folder for dropbox. You have to complete your drugscreen and background check by May 15. Which is $31 and $25....And we have orientation, or atleast I do on July 7th @ 9 @ hardin valley in the goins building. But it may be different for each campus location I am not sure? Call Mrs. Schafer, she is extremely nice and will answer any questions you may have! A Knd82350, I will make sure to always keep you guys in the loop, as well as my prayers! No worries, you ladies got this! :)

Thank you!!! You guys will get an email, just claim it!!! Especially since we know they are already contacting alternates. They gave me until May 5th to accept or decline so I assume at that point they will prob start contacting additional alternates as well..I will def come on here and keep you guys updated if I find anything else out!

Hopefully you hear something soon!! at least we know they are pulling candidates from the alternate list...Oh and just a heads up, I didn't receive a phone call, it was an email! So make sure you check your email you used on your application...Be sure to check spam folders as well...I was expecting them to call alternates not email, so that was a big surprise!

I just got my acceptance letter!!! I'm soooo excited guys!!!!! I can't believe I found out this soon..I pray we all get accepted and start together!! Good Luck you guys!

Has any of the alternates received that packet via email that was suppose to list the things we need to have completed should we get called? I know she sent out an email saying she would be sending them, but I haven't received anything yet?

Yes, Knd82350 I saw that posting as well.....I'm hoping people get it together and hurry and tell Pellissippi No! lol I hate to sound that way but um....We're waiting too patiently! lol I guess the only positive part is that they offer the program at 3 sites, Magnolia, Blount, and Strawberry Plains so that does give us alternates a fighting chance!

Yeah one of my friends told me her cousin got her acceptance letter from Roane about a week ago as well!! Hopefully they will start sending pellissippi decline to accept letters! lol I'm praying for the best for all of us!!!! Atleast we know that something should be shifting soon!

Well I did happen to ask the Assistant for the nursing office an approximate number of people that were on the alternate list and she said 80-90!!!!! I'm like whaaaat???!!! Now I really feel discouraged? So hopefully all of us that are on that alternate list get accepted! She did send an email last week stating they would be emailing the nursing packet (things needed over the summer) by this week..But for alternates not to complete any of them unless were called and told we have a spot....I think Roane state has already sent out there acceptance letters?? I think Walter's state sends theirs out in June though...So hopefully we all know something either way really soon!!

@knd82350 Congrats for being accepted on the alternate list as well!! I didn't know you get be on both alternate lists though? Why would you have to be on the traditional waiting list if you're already an LPN? Seems like it would be a much shorter list on the bridge rather than traditional??

that's Awesome news Niki2286! Congrats! hopefully I will be there with you...But I figured RSCC didn't send out letters until early May so hopefully around that time I will know something either way..It just sucks not knowing exactly where you are on this "list". LOL

Really, no chiming in guys??
