Alternates... I emailed the program tech for any updates for us and she said all alternates are still being considered and there are no updates at this time. She said she does not know the chances of us getting in.

Thank you AJ, I emailed ---------------------, too! But due to 4th of July I haven’t heard back from her. But I’m glad she responded to you. “She doesn’t know the chances of us getting in” I don’t know if that’s a good thing ? considering that Grossmont doesn’t have a plan for the program.

I know ? I asked her if she could disclose the chances of us actually getting in. And she said there is no way of knowing what the chances are. I’m not sure what to think right now. I’m trying to stay hopeful...

Still no news for any alternates? I am thinking that because swc is one of the only nursing schools in san diego having a program with the pandemic, everyone is accepting their spots and there won't be any more for us alternates

Nope, still have not heard anything. But I was also thinking the same thing that maybe because Swc is the only school continuing nursing. But I was also thinking if maybe they are going to let the alternates know all at the same time perhaps? I was planning on emailing -------------------- this week to ask that question. I’m getting anxious as it’s getting closer to the semester?

Seems like no one is hearing back. I’m not an alternate but we haven’t heard anything either at all regarding the documents we were supposed to turn in by June 30 or the schedules either. I was assuming they would keep us updated but no. I thought maybe they were not going to proceed because of how COVID is worsening but she said it’s very unlikely they’ll cancel or push back the start date of August 10. Problem is alternates don’t know anything and us in the program can’t make arrangements either work availability wise because we do not know our schedule/ books, etc and we start in 2-3 weeks.

Still nothing yet ?. I know we can hear back as late as the first day of class but I am losing hope we will find out any time soon.

As Izzy says they havent even updated those that are enrolled.

I might send Lorena an email as well to get an update if any ?‍♀️

I haven’t heard anything either?I was also thinking maybe they would let alternates know all at the same time? It does make me feel somewhat better that the ones accepted haven’t gotten their schedule yet.. so maybe they are still trying to figure everything out. Fingers crossed ??

I emailed ---------------------, alternates are still being considered. They get notified one at a time. Let’s just keep praying and think positive. It’s only a few more weeks of waiting. Keeping fingers crossed for us ?? ??????

Alternates... anyone else feel as impatient as I do ?? I was hoping if I were to hear something it would be before the end of the month so I could notify my work.

Your not the only one ? I’m impatient and anxious and frustrated. The cohort is slowly getting all their schedules per the facebook group. I’m not sure if you guys are in the group but they are all slowly getting their fall schedules. It’s getting closer and the anxiety is getting too real. I’m trying to not lose hope but praying for the best ??????

I’m glad I’m not the only one ? I looked on the SW webadvisor at the courses that the nursing students would take this fall.. and there are many seats still available? So maybe there still is hope for us ????

Are there availabilities for both morning and afternoon classes? According to some people on the group. Some are still waiting on their schedules.
