I'm sure that it's probably waaaay to early for this thread, but I figured what the heck. I have all of my application documents just about ready for submission. Just need to add the self addressed postcard and my check.
My main concern though is my Eng I credit. I already have a BS in Biology. The school I attended rewarded me with the Eng I credit based solely on my ACT score. I was originally going to apply for the Spring 2009 class and as I was reviewing my transcripts, I notice that HCC had not given me credit for Eng I. I contacted the Dean of Student Services at the DM campus about it and he referred me to the Asst Dean. From there it pretty much got ugly. My transcript originally had it listed as CLEP credit but I didn't have any CLEP scores of course. I had transferred several times and was given credit every where I went with no questions asked. Not to mention that I actually already have a BS so you would think that I wouldn't have to worry about any of the general education courses. I told all of this to the Asst Dean and the reply that I got was that the original "college awarded the credit in an unorthodox manner and that it wasn't her fault that HCC had higher standards than the other institutions that I had transferred to." Her email pretty much told me to f off in a not so nice way. It didn't help that I gave her a piece of my mind after receiving such a response. *sigh*
I managed to get my original transcript updated so that it no longer says CLEP. It says "ACT score 28" instead. I had an updated copy sent to HCC along with a letter explaining the change, however HCC has yet to update anything. That was last August. Sooooooo, I will be trotting my happy butt in to see an advisor on Friday and praying like heck that they make the change and accept the credit. Because I already have my BS, I absolutely refuse to go back and take Eng I. I'm not happy at all with HCC's administrative staff, but because I can't find another true evening nursing program that doesn't cost an arm and a leg....I'm pretty much stuck with them. I can't afford to quit my job and go to school full time...if I could I would be doing USF's accelerated program instead. :)
Eww, that's true and I didn't even think of it! Is the only reason you didn't care for the Landau top because of it not being soft? You could always get one of the Koi if they fit you nicely. I didn't really like how they fit me. The Uniform City in Clrwtr had two Katherine Heigl tops on clearance for $7.99 this weekend in the color we need. They were super cute on and very comfortable. I almost got them, except that they were an XS, and it was hard to get it on/off my head. lol The last thing I want it to get something gross on it, and then have to try to get the shirt off without getting it on my face. rofl
I know you're excited about ordering your scope! The good thing with the place that I got them from, is that they had it to me in less than a week!!
I thought the Koi tops weren't the right color, I could be wrong but I thought I read that some place. The main reason is the fabric but also I don't like the way it fits me as much as my other one.

Yes, the Cognac is the wrong color, but the Wine looks to be right. It was the same color as the other Wine colored scrubs I saw at Uniform City!
Okay that is it I am taking a trip to Uniform City tomorrow I just assumed they weren't the right color so I didn't even look at their tops.
The Cognac is a beautiful color, but you'll see how much different it is than the Wine color. I didn't care for how the Koi tops fit...they weren't as fitted as I expected and I felt like a box. lol BUT, when I had my cat at the vet last week one of the nurses there had on a Koi top and it was super cute on her!
Ugh...I guess it could be one more week, or three more weeks! I hate NOT knowing. I tried to get the exact date of the committee meeting from M.F. today (LOL, I just couldn't help myself) but she said they don't give the exact date to applicants.
LOL you are too funny! I almost cracked and emailed her today but I ended up out all day running around. What a pain though, we are the ones who are waiting around so you would thing we would be the ones to be told when we will know.
I went to Uniform City today and ended up just getting two Katherine Heigle tops from the clearance rack (yes the xs ones you where talking about)
Oh yeah I was going to tell you allheart has their Grey's Anatomy stock on sale 30% off right now and they have the top you had mentioned in an earlier post. Also I posted the $10 off coupon so you could get a killer deal if you order through them. Here is the link to the Grey's Anatomy Sale http://www.allheart.com/greys-anatomy-scrubs.html

Wow, that is a great deal! But, I tried on that Grey's Anatomy top and didn't like it. It was too boxy on me...plus I decided to go ahead and order those UA tops (as well as the Landau tops), so I'll see which I like best and send the others back.
How did you like those Katherine Heigl tops??? I really liked them, I just wish they had been a size S, and I couldn't seem to find that style for sale at any reputable website....
I'm thinking of going shoe shopping this weekend. I got a 15% off coupon emailed to me from a store in the mall...I forgot which store. lol That could save quite a bit if they have what I need/like.

Let me know which tops you end up keeping, now I am curious about those UA tops.
I like the KH tops they are cute and so much softer then the other so for 7.99 I couldn't pass them up.
I tried on a couple of pairs of Nurse Mates today while I was at Uniform City and they really are comfortable but there is only a couple styles that are even remotely cute LOL. I have narrow heals and I found some of them to bee too wide in the heal area but the cuter ones actually fit so I may just go with them. I am wanting to wait until I can get them on sale or use a coupon so I will be waiting a bit to get them.
Oh yeah and my Dad is asking my Uncle (who is a Doctor) if he has any extra stethoscopes that he could give me so I am waiting to order mine. I really want the purple one now but I guess FREE always trumps color LOL.
Wow, a free one would be great! I would wait until he let your dad know if he has another one too....And, you may be able to buy just the colored tube if you just really wanted to (however, that may cost almost as much as a new scope, lol).
I'll def let you know about the UA tops, I haven't received a shipping conf for them yet so I have no idea when they'll be here. I can't believe our orientation is a month from today (and tomorrow)!!!!
