Well, I'm glad you guys have gotten it over with so soon. Tomorrow is my day to go. I agree, with 3" of space, one must decide between quality and quantity. I guess since there is not alot of space to elaborate, all you can do is stick to the cold hard facts. However, I certainly don't want my paragraph to read like a grocery list! Oh well, all we can do is our best. If I don't get in, I'll live vicariously through you guys! :chuckle Well, after I cry on your collective shoulders first! :selfbonk: :biere: In the meantime, I'll just have to be nervouse and try not to

You'll do great! Trust me. Just manage your hour well and use the scratch paper before you commit to writing in the spaces provided. It really helped to get there ahead of time and get to know everyone around you and relax.

Good luck!!!

How many people were in there?

How many people were in there?

There were about 50 people in there. Each table sat about 5 ...I agree with Renee that you should definitely get to know everyone around you! It was great meeting people going through the same things you were

Man, this thread is getting long. Let's keep this up. haha

I was there on the 15th, and I held up a sign that said, "Allnursing.com Forum Meet-up?" but nobody responded. I was wearing black slacks and a lavender cardigan, if anybody remembers me.

I bullshat my essays, and I can't even really remember what I wrote. I hope that I didn't sound too pompous.

do they provide scratch paper? about how early should i arrive? were a lot of people wearing jeans?

joshuaclay · Feb 16, 2006

some wore jeans. the proctor thanked people for dressing casually, and really, you could wear shorts and a t-shirt and noone would notice (at least not from the nursing admissions board- since none of them were present). and yes. there will be scratch paper and liquid paper in case you make errors. piece o' cake!

Yah, I wore jeans. Maybe about 10 people did...but then again some others wore dresses/skirts. Like Josh said, you could probably have worn shorts and they wouldn't have cared!

If you're not familiar in the med center/downtown area, you should probably plan to get there 30 minutes before your appointment to get familiar with the surroundings and talk to other people on your table. Parking was my biggest issue really and that wasn't even all that bad...MD Anderson's parking garage is only $4 for the amount of time you'll be there

Good luck!!

Hey guys,

Yup, it was a piece of cake. I just wish I had a little bit more room to write, but, otherwise, the whole process was quick and painless! LOL

Good Luck!

i hear philosophy is pretty cool. i took intro to ethics instead of philo. someone told me the reading would be less archaic (and they were seemingly correct).

I found philosophy really boring. Easy A though. All we had to do was listen in class and we'd get it. It is definately one of the easiest classes I have ever taken. So is stats...alot easier than College Algebra...imho anyways...good luck to all of you

maybe the stress of waiting for a letter is designed to prepare us for the stress of going through nursing school!

can we skip march?:roll

I hear ya'!! Check out the new benefit of premium membership (in signature area)! Is the timer cool or what? I set it for April 15th since that is when the essay proctor told us we'd probably hear something.
