Yay, HotSoup! Just so you know, it took almost a whole month to get the letter from MOC and then it took a few more days before I got the email about setting up the appointment.

Has anyone had any luck looking for scholarships or grants?

prcoach · Apr 6, 2012

No luck with grants if you already have a degree Classes start May 29th. I can't wait to meet everyone at orientation!

Hey everyone!

I just turned in my background check on Monday and I'm wondering if I have a realistic shot at May. It took FOREVER for one of my recs to get me her form, so I turned my app packet in 2 weeks later than I had wanted. I would really love to start with all of you! Do you think that I should call and ask JH if there are any spots? I feel like I don't want to ruin any shot at even getting in at all by "bothering" her.

Thanks girls!

I really dnt want to say for sure but I think that trying to get in for May is pushing it bc we are already have our class schedule. I took the test in November and missed the January start. Maybe you have a chance though...who knows only WATTS.

I think it would completely depend upon whether or not there are any more slots available for this cohort. I would definitely call her and ask. You have nothing to lose by doing that, and then you can plan for your the rest of your year if won't be going to school.

Thanks for the feedback! I think I will call on Monday and ask if all of the slots are filled. I may apply for Piedmont if May is out. I really want to go to Watts, but at the end of the day, I just want to be a nurse. I can't seem to find much info on Piedmont, though. I DO know that I would have to take much less in the way of pre-recs.

I know you didn't ask, but if you stand a chance to get into Watts go for it. They have an incredible reputation and even more incredible number of students who pass the NCLEX first time out. They are so organized and provide you with great clinical experience that you would be hurting yourself not to keep going in this direction first, especially if you cant find a thing out about Piedmont. At the end of the day, there are good nurses and bad nurses...you want to be a well educated good nurse.

Well I hope that y'all can make room for me because I rec'd my acceptance a few hours after I wrote my last post! My head is spinning! I went from getting my app in to acceptance in less than three weeks..whoah.

At any rate, my name is Natalie. I have a BS in Child Development/Family Studies and did my internship in Child Life at The University of Wisconsin Children's Hospital. Grad in '03.

I'm 35 and a single mom to 2 little girls. Can't wait to get to know you all better.

prcoach · Apr 22, 2012

YAY!!! Congratulations Natalie! We definitely have room for you. I am a single mom of four but older (not willing to give that away just yet). See you in May for orientation!!!

Anybody have any insight on loans/grants/etc for Watts/MOV? I havent met with MOC yet so im kinda lost on all that right now. When I went to college before, it was just paid by my parents. I have the responsibility to pay for this myself and according to the FAFSA and the price per semester listed on the Watts website, I am a bit short even if I get the full amount listed on the FAFSA website. I am sure they will help with all of that, I am just a bit nervous right now about it.

If you have any degrees you will not get any grants but you depending upon your income you will be eligible for financial aid...they will meet with you and explain all of it to you. Hopefully you will get the loans you need.
