    Cmcmuffin: They didn't send me anything for my UDS either, I just did the live chat with someone and they got me situated. I had the same thing happen at LabCorp though, and they were concerned I was...

    kaiwahine replied to Hmfog's topic in Virginia Nursing

    I'll be doing some reading the week before as well. It is so frustrating that those of us using financial aid can't get books until the week before unless we have the cash to do so. I like to get...

    I was thinking the same thing hmfog. Not sure, I think we only wear scrubs to skills labs and clinicals, but I'm not 100%. Hoping they will send an email when it gets closer to starting with some...

    kaiwahine replied to mrs.bartlomain's topic in General Students

    Hello BMommy5! Make sure to look at your National Composite Percentile, that is what they will use to rank you against other applicants. You need at least a 45 national composite percentile in every...

    kaiwahine replied to Hmfog's topic in Virginia Nursing

    My tuition has also been adjusted! Anyone else not fully covered for financial aid to buy their books? I would be covered if I could "borrow" financial aid from spring semester since we don't have to...

    Found it! It says on our original orientation email attachment that there will be documents we need to submit on Blackboard prior to the first day of class. It is at the bottom of the orientation...

    Just re-read the email about tuition sent out not too long ago and it says payments can't be made until Monday the 11th so maybe they are working out some kinks. Side note: Is anyone using financial...
