waiting game?

Published

I am officially applying to carrington college in Reno! I know that nursing is what i'm meant to do! My interview went terrific... They take 32 people, and I was told 350 were going to take the hesi a2. I know a good chunk of those people might not even pass, and then you have to make sure everything gets done before the deadline (drug test, background check, documents etc.) I took the Hesi a2 on a weeks notice... studied my butt of and managed a 92%! (or a 277/300). Everyone is telling me I should be proud of my score... And that I shouldn't be worried about getting in.... BUT I AM! Letters will be mailed out Nov 28th. I'm dying already! Is 92% (277) a competitive score?? Admissions reps asked if I was considering taking the test again... But I heard them ask that to everyone that was interviewing in the rooms next to me as well. All of the dates are full and I am on a waiting list... But bottom line i'm trying to feel confident in my score, but I'm a worrier by nature. I like to be the best! (Terrible habit I know). Any insight or help would be much appreciated! :)

Anybody else hear any news?

Will you be going to carrington in Reno too?! And I called... But I love to be delivering good news... I girl I work with spoke to her friend with a 93 and she got in! That's the only reason I had the courage to call. Haha so CONGRATS!

Oh that's good news. I'm worried my drug test and background check weren't processed in time. It was about 9 days from the moment I first took a campus tour to when paperwork was due!

Oh wow! Well you might want to double check just in case then. I'm assuming letters will be out today, but you can always call and they have your letter on file to read to you.

Yeah I just called them. They said they didn't have the letter in their hands so they could not tell me. So frustrating! How could they not have a list of names. Hopefully I will have good news later today when the mail arrives. And yes, I am applying to the Reno campus!

That's horrible! Maybe I caught them right before they mailed it out? Which would hopefully mean they'd be here today! The wait has been killing me! At least it was a some what fast process for you... But it's so exciting talking to potential classmates!

I agree. Hopefully we can be classmates. Now I have to go spend the whole day at UNR! I'd rather be sitting next to the mailbox, ha ha!

I will let you know if I get anything tonight . . . or even tomorrow night. :rolleyes:

hello,

for those of you who took Hesi A2 a second time, did you feel it went a lot better? Were the questions pretty similar? after i took my test the first time I sat down outside the test taking area for an hour and was able to remember and record down more than 50 questions from the test. mostly A&P and Chem, and then a few vocab and math questions. I got an 89% my first time and am retaking hoping to get a 95%.

Oh definitely. A lot of it was similar. I would suggest taking again, especially if you think that you could do better. If you think you did your best I'd say stick with it
