Hi everyone,

I am also waitlisted ? last year I heard people waited and still didn't get in. I don't think I am going to take my chances on waiting on the waitlist. 

I feel this. Not sure if I want to be on my toes for another 2-3 months only to be rejected ?

Do people get rejected after submitting the grad app or are all either waitlisted/accepted?

When is the deadline to accept?

The deadline to accept is April 15th or sooner. I will be accepting the spot.

Congratulations Patty! I hope to join you in the field sooner or later!! ???‍⚕️

And, thank you for letting me know about the acceptance date. 

Congratulations to those who got accepted! Last year I was waitlisted and later rejected. After applying a second time I was accepted! I want those who are waitlisted not to lose hope. I thought it was going to be impossible for me to even get into nursing school but here I am. I believe that you also will be able to get into nursing school. You don't need a perfect GPA or years worth of experience. Your passion and determination will help you get into nursing school. Don't lose hope!

Waitlist squad, looks like around April 16-19 all the way til June 30 can we expect an email. Let's stay hopeful! Congratulations to all that got in and wishing we can meet you soon or sometime down the road ?

Hi @angelnurse1004,

Did you get a confirmation email back when you stated that you would like to remain on the wait-list? 

Has anyone tried to find out their number in the waitlist? Last year, my friend said she waited until June and she only got a rejection email a day after they started the program. 

Does anyone want to make a fb page for admitted students? 

Specializes in nursing student.

I would like to, but I don't know how to. I was waiting for someone else to do it. LOL

I didn't. I wish they at least confirmed that they saw my email.

Same here, I don't know how to set up a FB page. I thought I saw somewhere on last years forum that the previous cohort usually set's it up for the incoming class. Did anyone else see that?
