After we all received our packages we had a few things to fill out especially the medical history form. Notice that it said to return it within 4 weeks of dated item and the other thing is that it needs to be signed off by your doctor, the major thing on there is that you need to have 2 tb test within the past year and within 2 weeks apart. Scheduling and doing a TB test takes time...I just got my last tb test read this past Monday, so now I am waiting for the doc to sign off on the paper. But the point is, is that I'm past the 4 week period.
Erm if we're talking about the same essay that they look at as a personal statement...I do believe there is a word limit. The information session (not the orientation but info on the school of nursing itself) explained the classes and course requirements more than how to fill out the application. Or at least mine did.
When I filled out my online application I think they mentioned 500 words because I remember keeping it concise but to clarify I would call the office. Obviously if you provide them with a ten page essay its probably not going to be read so use your judgment.
(I know its hard to cram things down into a couple paragraphs. If I had my way we'd be allowed at least a page. Regardless I got in with 500 words so if it was supposed to be longer...well at least you know they'll accept that :wink2:)
