Hi cerobbin, I guess there are 48 spots. Lets hope for the better! I guess among top 20 student most of them might have been accepted into fnp program as well because most of the candidates applied for both. That's good for us because it open more spots for others. I am holding my breath!!!!!!!!!

Ckrs,

I am assuming the same thing about people applying to both programs...It seems like they would automatically be accepted in the ABSN, but will most likely choose the FNP/CM program...The ABSN was probably a back up option.

I applied to both the ABSN and ELMSN-case management for Sacramento. I went for my interview for case management 3 weeks ago and at the end of the interview, I was given my choice acceptance of either the ABSN or ELMSN. For my career goals, I chose the ELMSN program, but it was a hard choice!

Thanks again for the update on spot # Ckrs and congrats Greatpyr mom on your acceptance to the CM Master's program!

I think whoever is getting calls for acceptance into ABSN should inform us and it will be a great favor if they publish their stats coz that way we can anticipate our status and give us little hope! this week is going to be very stressful for me! does anyone feel the same anxiety?:uhoh3:

Umm...YES, ABSOLUTELY!!! It seems like only one has been given a call so far though....I just keep hoping they all choose the ELMSN...That will open up spots for us!

I feel the same way too. The waiting game is torture!

YES! The waiting game is torture!

I'm pretty sure calls will be happening within the next week or so, if students are already being called this week.

Wish you all the best!!

Congratulations! Did the caller happen to say how many more calls they would be making this evening? Or if they would continue calls into the weekend or pick back up on Monday?

Thanks!
