vent, need some advice, Michigan Nursing

So, I really just need to rant/vent about my frustration with the nursing world. I have applied to MSU's accelerated nursing program two years in a row, with rejection of course. This year I applied to U of M's second degree program and did not get in. That one really frustrates me because I had completed, or was in the process of completing all of the prereqs and I've read, on here, that many applicants were accepted and still have most of the prereqs to finish. What the heck? I also applied to LCC's accelerated program, and their fantastic point system failed me as it has been 45 for the last 4 years and jumped to 52 this year, of which I had 51. So, I'm an alternate. Oh, did I also mention that I applied to LCC's traditional program and I'm an alternate for that as well. Isn't that SUPER! ahhhh! I just want to freak out and scream!

I have a 3.2 GPA overall, I have a 3.66 GPA for LCC's prereqs, not sure what it is at other schools, something close to that. I have healthcare experience, I have a health care related Bachelor's degree.

What am I doing wrong here?

Then, I'll go to the hospital to visit a friend, or grandparent, or whatever and I come in contact with these incompetent, inadequate nurses all of the time and I wonder "How in the world did you get your nursing degree, and I can't?!" Of course, there are some VERY excellent nurses out there, but let's be real, there's some very bad ones as well. The whole reason I want to be a nurse is to be a GOOD nurse and help patients!

Okay, I just had to get that off my chest.

If anyone has any advice I would GREATLY appreciate it. If you know of more accelerated programs to let me know about. PLEASE DO!

Thank you.
