Re: Somebody wants me!!!
I had a somewhat similar experience. I didn't get into nursing school last year simply because the school I was applying to gave preference to the residence of the county it was in. I spent another year taking some remedial classes to raise my GPA and moved to the county. In addition I decided to seek a job as a PCT or patient care tech, the new version of a nurse aide. I didnt think I would be able to find a job with no experience that could compete with what I was making bartending but I did. I got a really good job at a great place for gaining experience making enough money to get by in school, and far more this semester when I was simply waiting to hear if I got in for next year. I got in for this august for an ADN program and cannot wait. Gotta thank connections, my step-sister is an RRT there and said I was worth training, gotta love fate. I just hope my mom's connections with a couple the CEO's of big hospitals in the area can get me into ICU as son as possible once I am done.
