I figure we might as well go ahead and start a thread for those of us who are waiting for our letters to come....
I was looking through back postings and in 2006 letters were received July 13th and in 2007 letters were received June 26th...Boy is that a broad range of time to determine when letters will come....I think they do it on purpose to try to drive us all mad LOL
So, how is everyone holding up during this waiting process. I think the unknown is the worst thing possible. I am trying to stay positive and relaxed about this whole process, but it is becoming more difficult as the time draws nearer...
How are all of you coping with the stress of waiting? I've been doing a lot of graphic designing lately and delving myself deeply into my studies. I found the more involved I am with school, the faster the time goes by because of deadlines and such...(midterm is coming up next week) Can you believe this semester is almost half way over with?
Anyway, let's keep each other company while we all wait for the GOOD news!
:angryfireUGGGHHHH!!!! So ****** at disorganized WCCCD Nursing Office..
Recieved letter today saying sorry...not in because of missing Advanced Standing Form... BS!! I ran in circles trying to get this advanced standing form from WCCCD and after many calls,visits,etc the nursing office told me "Well don't you have the Transfer Credit Evaluation form from us yet?" I said yes I do..She said "Well that's what we are looking for." Now I get this letter telling me I am not in the program because of this!! AAARRGGGHHH! I called the nursing office after recieving the letter and was told to call in the morning and schedule an appointment with Mrs. Norris and she would see what could be done..So hopefully she can see me tomorrow before either smoke blows from my ears or I drown myself in my own tears...I don't know if I want to cry or scream...My GPA is 3.96 and all other paperwork is there, plus I'll be going in with extensive phone records and postal date stamped letters showing I did my part and that THEY screwed up..ARRGG
Anyone else have a similar situation with them? If so, was Mrs. Norris of any help at all? Any added advice or opinions on whether this meeting with her will help at all.. I'm going no matter what, but am curious as to how much you think this will help, if at all....The student counselor told me I should at minimum demand I be put on the waiting list, but to be honest I doubt anyone is going to go through all the hassle just to decline their position...
I'm actually starting clinicals at Mott in Fall, but I read your post. My heart goes out to you and I hope the best for you at your meeting.
Congrats to all of you. Enjoy the rest of the summer because they are not lying when they tell you that you will have no life. I am doing my Med Surg 2/ OB rotation in the fall. It's a lot of work but it is soooo worth it. If any of you have questions about teachers or classes and so on let me know! Congrats again!
Is it just me, or does it kind of feel like the day after Christmas?
I have really been scattered the past few days and MUST get some other school work done...
:grn:
Nope, it's not just you! I keep thinking it is the end of July instead of the beginning...LOL My hubby keeps making fun of my scatteredness....I told him, "ever since I got that letter I feel like time is moving at a different pace than I am."
I need to take my math quiz and then the midterm LOL Putting it off until Sunday though...it is the holiday weekend after all!
Caroline and Maddie (as do all the nursing instructors) teach at both campuses. It depends on the semester and the class. I have had Caroline twice once at NW and then at Western. Maddie taught foundations at NW during my first semester and then at western the next semester. I am going in to my third semester of the program and we have all the same teachers whether you are at western or NW.

Virginia, I dont think anyone is suggesting one campus is better than the other....or that certain instructors teach at one specific campus. She was only asking which semester they were teaching at this Fall semester, at least that is what I assumed considering we are both starting the nursing program this Fall.
Personally, I am excited about the new NW campus and will be happy with either. I have heard that Matt S. is a great instructor and I know some who really love LD....I am impartial.
Congratulations on making it to your third semester WTG!!!!
Can you believe this semester is almost half way over with?
