I've been wanting to "go back" to school forever. I had my chance at 18 when I went to UW, but I blew it on fun times. I definately had a lot of regret about that decision. I'm so happy my husband convinced me I could do this. I was so afraid to quit my job and just go to school full time. It has been the best decision I have ever made. It never seemed possible to get into this program. Everyone tells you, blah blah, no one can get in, it's impossible. Turns out, anything is possible if you want it bad enough! I'm so happy to be able to finally be a "nursing student". For the past year, I have been telling people, "I'm going to school to be a nurse... hopefully I get into the program!" No more! I am an actual nursing student
I am very glad you got into the program, I know you tried as hard, if not harder than I did and with little ones to boot! You deserve it woman! I hope we have a tight knit group of people in our program and we all work together. I know it is going to be a different and hard type of learning that I am not used to. I'm glad the "competition" is over, and we can all work together knowing that we don't need to beat out anyone else for a seat. It's a good feeling to work together and I hated the fact that a lot of people would be downright cuthroat about it. One woman in my micro class actually declared that she wouldn't be helping any of her classmates because this was, in fact, a competition. I hope she didn't get in. haha. Just kidding. I hope everyone who wants it bad enough, eventually gets in. My friend Michelle is in the fall quarter too. She was the girl who sat next to me both quarters, long dark hair, pretty smile, usually in a hoodie. She is smart and awesome, I'm so glad we made it this far together. We decided to make each other go back to school and keep each other motivated, it has been great having her to study with. She and I go back to the 4th grade, and she was my roomate at UW. I met two of the girls who got in at my CPR for healthcare providers. One woman has children and is very nice. The other woman was very young, nice, and obviously smart like the rest of us (haha) but I didn't talk to her much. Anyway, its nice to have someone to talk to about Nursing school since my hubby has had an earfull
Would you like to comment?
