I was thinking maybe I should just calm down, chill and be with my kids, have fun, maybe take a class for fun-like piano or voice or whatever-and quit trying be beat a dead horse. My first instinct however is to frantically search for a new place to apply, find ways to improve my GPA, or how to learn another language. It just gets so tiring, finding out you are not good enough. Time after time!
Actually I was going to make these suggestions (re-take classes to improve your GPA and find other schools to apply too if possible). I was not sure if you had not done so already. I know it sounds crazy, but I'll bet people who placed above you did these very same things. Not many people get accepted a first time.
Go to your counselor and ask for advice. Find out how you can improve yourself. If it is not possible at your current school, I am sure it is possible somewhere else!

Thanks. Actually I am not scared. I am excited. Receiving my MBA was no cake walk either. The retention rate was 30% for my MBA program. Day one I told myself I would be one of the 30% to graduate and I am!

I am not happy when I am not challenged or working in a challenging environment, so nursing school is the right fit for me. I might actually miss it when it is over and join the military to make up for the lack of stimulus.
