Anyone else applying to the Accelerated BSN?? Deadline is November 1st ... YIKES! ... :eek: ... need moral support :D !!

Nothing in my mailbox either, except junk mail :p ... the wait continues. Are we 4 or 5 like the only ones on Allnurses that applied to this school? How odd.

Ugh it's killing me that if my school didn't make me take A&P 2 before microbio (yes, it's a pre-req) I'd be in the same boat as you all right now! Good luck!

:yeah:

maybe we're just obsessed enough to seek out others with the same interests, :eek:

So crazy me decided I couldn't wait for the mail be delivered at 4pm so I called the post office and said I was waiting for an important piece of mail and asked if they could intercept it before it goes out for delivery! :) they checked for me and NOTHING!! I said it was coming from sb and they said it should only take a day!! They took my number and will call me of it comes in today but sb is really giving some misinformation since they told me Wednesday when I called about the website.. That my letter went out this week and I should get it any day!! *** I am becoming a lunatic here!! :)

I guess the admissions coordinator is right mid to late january.i want to be the one to get it though if its a small envelope. i dont want my family coming in w/ my small envelope saying i dont think you got in:( At least if i know first i can get it and prepare myself to tell them. the mail man should come b4 i got to work today. i strongly feel they wont accept me for the 1 yr but for the 2yr which is better for me anyway.

I'm just not as optimistic now that I think they didn't wait to take my fall 09 grades into consideration :-( I'm trying to mentally prepare for a small envelope too!

Holy cow ... :eek: ... Now THAT'S determination ... :D

I've already mentally prepared myself for the small envelope, what I did last night was start to come up with Plan B (which in essence is something I have always had but started to place into motion more). I'm looking into ADN programs now, and there are a couple of them out there that will allow me to take classes and clinicals on weekends/evenings while I maintain a job full-time, and done in about 18-24 mos. Then once I am working as an RN I will pursue my BSN online (which ironically Stony Brook also offers) and the hope is that my employer will financially assist with this. It's appealing because it means I won't need to break an income stream. When you get to be my age something like that becomes very important. And yes, it will take a bit longer, but it's better than sitting around waiting for another year to apply for a BSN again. At least by the summer I will be done with all prereqs.

I had really had myself convinced that what I needed to start was a BSN (since that is what people are saying: that people are hiring more BSNs than ADNs) but in all actuality I have been seeing that not EVERY hospital is requiring new staff to have a BSN. I can always work at a good hospital that will take me as an ADN-RN and then I can transition into a bigger hospital once I achieve my BSN. And my MSN can come later.

All this planning makes any impending news much more bearable :) I just want to avoid the "what do I do now" feeling, because I have been there before when I place all hopes in one basket and that feeling sucks dragon eggs! :p

OK, I'm serious ... had a dream last night that I logged into SOLAR and the page exploded with all these tabs and links and colored boxes but that I could not click on anything that would tell me anything. And I also saw a link for me to send in a deposit. Of course, I woke up and realized DAMN this was a dream ... logged in to SOLAR and of course no change.

This is getting ridiculous ... :eek:

LOL... I can say I was completely thrilled to have a day free from obsessively waiting for the mail to come!! I am trying to practice restraint and not call and ask admissions why they lied to me and told me my letter went out last week!! :) I just want to know, so I can get rid of this anxiety!! :)
