I didn't see a thread, so I started one.

I am planning on applying this fall for the Direct Entry MSN program. Anyone else?

Nothing in the mail yet!

I know I can speak for everyone when saying that I am getting incredibly annoyed by this entire thing. I was told by everyone on my interview day that I would know in 2-3 weeks. I interviewed on Feb 15th which means tomorrow is 3 weeks. If I have nothing in the mail or in my email tomorrow at 5pm I am going to call Thursday morning bright and early and ask what is going on. They asked us all to not call to check on our status but I'm sorry if your going to tell people they will know their future in 2-3 weeks you better tell them in 2-3 weeks. They interviewed 220 people already, how is it possible that they have not found 60 people that are "good enough" and 60 people that can fill their spots. That seems a little rediculous to me.

p.s. no offense to all those offered an interview, congrats to you. I am just beyond frustrated with this waiting game.

I am with you guys, it is frustrating. It is hard to not speculate what the waiting really means. But at the end of the day, worrying and stressing isn't going to make a decision come any faster (I really need to learn to take my own advice).

Like Blue has said - we are all worthy and that was evident in the fact we got interviews. Like Maseca said, we had the background they were looking for and they wanted to learn more. Sadly, not all of us will get in (though I hope a few do!) but this doesn't mean it is over.

I've let my anxiety and worry definitely get the best of me, but I know that trying to just relax and be patient is more healthy! :) Not sure if anyone is a believer, but I strongly believe that God will make it obvious if this isn't the right path! And he hasn't done that yet, so I will keep trucking along!

I know it is not the end of the world if I do not get accepted here, of course there are a ton of other schools to apply too. That just means waiting another year and going through another year of the waiting game. I am not sure about the rest of you but I have applied for two years in a row (to other schools) so I am ready to be accepted and get this ship sailing. I hope everyone hears something soon, either way I think it is always better to know one way or the other than to just sit around not knowing. But you are right beesmama, stressing is getting us no where. I will try to remember that when I wake up 50 times a night lol. Tomorrow is another day, and hopefully a day with answers.

I agree with everyone. I've let the stress get the best of me to the point where I've been having nightmares about getting a rejection letter. Also, I get anxiety whenever I hear a ding from my email then I get mad when I find out it's just some silly coupon from TGI Fridays :banghead:

At the end of it all, accepted or not, I'm so glad I got the chance to share this experience with you guys. I look forward to reading your posts everyday! We need to cut ourselves a break. Like BeesMama said, getting a chance to interview was already a great accomplishment. Whether it may be at Western University or not, I'm sure everyone here will make a great nurse someday just from the dedication and motivation I see from all of you!

I agree with ktonic and Ceci, you are all awesome... It's so nice to have a place to vent. Everyone else in my life just doesn't understand.... can't understand really. You put all this time, energy, and money towards a goal, a dream really and come so close. It can be utterly heartbreaking, I know it was for me last week when I found out the emails had gone out. This is just dragging out the agony even more. I don't begrudge anyone who got an interview in March because I know they are in the same boat as me, but at the same time, I'm incredibly frustrated. I don't know what I would've done without having other to commiserate with.

I agree too. It's just been a frustrating process and I hope their is closure soon. I had called yesterday but got no answers other than not all acceptances have been sent out. There is still some hope out there so don't give up. I'm a little disappointed because I held Western in such high regard after attending multiple preview days. The interview process was just a little bit of a let down after attending another program's and seeing how much they invested in the process and stuck to deadlines. The entire application process is stressful enough but the uncertainty of knowing when you will hear is probably the worst part. I think I would have more respect if they at least sent out an e-mail letting us know they had extended the interview process and at least let us know when we will be hearing, rather than the daily torture of will today be the day or not.
