What are you doing while you're waiting to get into NS

If you are waiting for a seat in the next nursing class, what are you doing with your "one to two semester" wait?

I'm taking Patho, my humanities: Medical Bio-Ethics, and volunteering at Banner about 6 hours a week. Figure it'll keep my skills up at least a little and get my face familiar over there in case I want to do the Banner Fellowship program.

What are ya'll doing? :coollook:

I'm taking the 2nd half of Patho, Mat 142, working part time for book money, and counting down to 10/4 when they start the placements for Spring!

I've been trying to figure out what my new choices will be, taking Patho and FON (the only co-req's I have left) and playing as much poker as I can before NS starts :rotfl:

I'm taking Phoenix College's Patient Care Tech program and FON 241 through Rio Salado. I also work at Banner. If you don't mind my asking, boomer, where are you volunteering? If you work for Banner at least 20 hours a week, you get the tuition reimbursment benefits w/out the 3 year commitment of the Banner Health Fellows program!

Thanks for asking. I'm starting at Banner Desert tomorrow at 4C. I can only carve out a few hours a week to volunteer. Tuition reimbursement sounds very attractive but cannot manage 20 hours of work in addition to my workload at home (mom, taxi-driver, scouts, school, etc.,etc.,etc.) :selfbonk:

Mary,

October 4th is the date then? I didn't know the exact date when they'd start notifying. Do you know when they're going to send out the letters for us to give them our "choices" again?

Yes, October 4th is when they start assigning Spring NS slots. The letters go out Sept 12th to ask you to change or update your choices to coincide with the spring classes. From what I've been told the NS slots are updated every Tues. and you can check your status at this link, starting with October 4th (this is also where you get your lottery number etc). You will be emailed and a letter will go out to you informing you of your school once you've been selected.

I'm just counting down the days until I know if I got in or not...
