Well, I applied for a Spring 06 ADN program, and notification letters were to be mailed before Jan 3 b/c that was orientation. I went out of town for New Year's, and when I returned home I still hadn't received a letter. I assumed that I didn't get, so I registered for the rest of my BSN pre-req's. Yesterday morning (Jan 3), I received a call at 9:15am from a woman named Cathy and she said, "Hello Brianna, we've been waiting for you." I said, "For what?!?!" and Cathy said "Nursing Orientation started today at 8:00am and we were wondering where you are." I couldn't believe it!! I said, " I never received a letter, so I didn't know any details about orientation." Cathy said, "Well we would like you to come as soon as you can seeing as though orientation is mandatory." I was so excited, but stressed at the same time because I wasn't prepared, and I knew that I was already late. So when I arrived, I saw a friend of mine, and thank the lord that she spoke up on my behalf b/c the school thought I was a no-show and I would have forfeit my spot. Later on that day, another girl came in around 11:30 because she didn't receive a letter either!! Isn't this amazing? Anyways...orientation lasted until 5:00pm and there was sooooo much information to be absorbed! ADN '07 here I come!!

I really think that my letter got lost in the mail because I live on campus, and I've had some mail lost before. It was just too weird that another student didn't get their letter either, and we don't even live in the same city!!
