SWIC Nursing Program Summer 17

cjmmm5 · Apr 4, 2017

I emailed the nursing program today to see if they have a date they plan on sending the letters. They said mid to late April. I will go bonkers if it's that much longer.

What??? How can it be so late....I will be so mad if we don't get it Friday!!

We should just have May in our minds so we don't go crazy.

I'm praying that's worst case scenario, and am holding out for this Friday lol

I know this is jumping the gun a little, but does anyone know what kind of watch they'll require us to have for the program? I'm thinking about returning an activity tracker and thought that might be something I could exchange it for.

I got a nurse mate watch. It has military time

I'll have to look that up.

I'm really hoping tomorrow is the day! Hopefully them saying mid to late April is just standard protocol. Good luck ladies!!!!

I think and hope it will be tomorrow. Late last year, my husband and I were planning a 10 year anniversary trip to Europe in April since we never had a honeymoon. We had to cancel because they told me the mandatory orientations would be in April and they couldn't guarantee that early April would be safe (you have to accept or reject your approval by a certain time so they can let the alternates know something). But that conversation was before they had 300 applicants so we may be stuck waiting longer.

I would think they have to let us know before registration starts on the 10th. Regardless of how many applications they received, the cut off for the admission test was almost a month ago so they should know who they are accepting. (At least I hope so!)

Hi guys! Does anyone know the highest the cutoff has ever been? I have 18 points, and I'm so nervous!

cjmmm5 · Apr 6, 2017

Sarah- I'm with you! I have 18 pts too. In 2013, the tie-breaker was 18 points. Anything since then is under 18.

im hoping too that the mid to late April is standard to cover them. I'm going to be so depressed over the weekend if we don't get our letters tomorrow.
