I thought it might be nice to have a place for us to vent our frustrations with waiting until May 30th or so when letters start going out. I know I'm going nuts already!
How about introductions and a little info about each person?
I'm applying to both Bloomington and Indy-Lawrence for the Fall 2009 ASN programs. I turned in my apps this week with 4 As on the pre-reqs and a 90.0 on the TEAS. My eventual goal is at least getting a BSN, and if I feel like doing homework long enough, an MSN of some sort. I work full time now, but will hopefully only work part time if I get accepted. I'm so antsy to start preparing and finally feel like all of this is real!
I called Columbus yesterday and the girl I talked to said they are still tallying and hope to mail them out by the end of this week.....nice....huh? I guess if nothing else it is a true test of patience... I wonder if I will get my Madison or Lawrenceburg before Columbus..I really don't care about the drive as long as I get in someplace.
hey xandersmama! is today the day for fort wayne? geez i am getting a little batty.
some moments are filled with total confidence :thankya:
but most times i feel like i am waiting for my BIG disappointment
i have dreams about opeing the letter and i can't read the words because they are all blurry. i am short with everyone, even my precious babies. my boyfriend says no matter what i am going to be fine. but EVERYONE else says its ok and i am going to get in. then, i feel intense pressure like not only am i going to be but EVERYONE i know will be disappointed. PLEASE GOD LET TODAY BE THE DAY! I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE!

I feel the same way ahcgirl!
I called the secretary of the School of Health Sciences today to check something and her voicemails ays she's on vacation through the end of the week, but if you're calling about the nursing application letters, "they will be sent out by Friday June 5th."
Ahhhhhh.... I just don't know how much longer I can take it.

I hope today is the day. I purposely mailed some letters so I could put the flag up on my mailbox so I didn't have to keep walking out there. I just really don't like this feeling of not knowing. I keep thinking somehow it isn't going to work out. I am anxious to get started with my summer classes too. I need to feel like I am moving forward. I feel like I am in limbo. I understand completely about being short with people. I have been somewhat snappy myself. I thought having all this free time was going to be great, but I keep wanting to be focused on school and the nursing program. I want to know what is next. Please let us get our letters today!

By June 5th! I thought they were supposed to mail them by May 31st! I can't wait any longer either.
I had a very slow night at work and wanted to start preparing for the nursing program. I went through last summer/fall's thread on AN and made notes on what the students who got in last year had to do before they started. I'm sure this is not an exhaustive list, just what I was able to find on the site. And who knows what's changed for this year. I made additional notes about what I could find (i.e. immunizations).

There appeared to be two, the other around the first week of classes.
if anyone (besides me) is waiting on terre haute......i got this email back today from the coordinator:
"hi,
we have made the final selections. the asn letters are going out this week. the pn letters will go out this week"
looks like she's been answering the question a lot!
-------
part of me thinks that i could have done the tally for 1000 applicants with one other person, coffee, and two days. lol the letters would go out the third day, but only after the quickie email status in campus connect. but then, i'm all for instant gratification.
