After 3 years, I finally got into nursing school!

[Future_Nurse89]

So my journey trying to get into nursing school started after graduating high school in 2007. I applied to a couple schools and got denied. I ended up getting into a one year undeclared major instead. The next year I applied to a couple more schools and had the same answers and ended up taking a year off. The following year I was denied yet again and I decided to attend a two year liberal arts school to improve my chances. I am graduating from that this coming spring. I recently applied to a university and I was praying to get into their two year nursing program. This was going to be my last time applying because I was starting to loose hope. I had a 3.6 GPA, took a+p one and two, many courses that the nursing program required, and I have been a CNA for four years. I thought to myself, if they didn't think that was good then what is? So a few days ago my dreams came true, "You have been accepted"!!! Lets just say I am the happiest woman ever. To anyone who is close to giving up, DON'T GIVE UP!! Even though it is hard getting in, it takes patience. I would suggest taking strong courses like anatomy and micro. Keep your GPA up and prove to them you have what it takes. I am glad to be part of this community!

Thanks! I am actually on a waiting list for a couple of years. That is pretty common for the two year programs in my state. Hopefully it goes by fast or maybe I can get in sooner!

Proof that when something is meant to be, the door opens for you at just the right time. Shame you can't relocate to start sooner somewhere else.

As a 2007 graduate myself, I do have to say congrats. I really hope you get in as soon as possible and do a wonderful job!

P.s.

I was losing hope but after reading your story and some very supportive posts of this site, I have to say I really am starting to think.. maybe not tomorrow, maybe not by Oct 1st, but some day my day will come.

Thank you

CONGRATS! I know how you feel. I graduated in 2008 with a BA in Poly Sci and decided two weeks later to enroll into pre-reqs. I got denied 4 times throughout the last two years. I decided this last time was my last attempt and if I didn't get in it was time to move on and start focusing on using my original degree. I just found out I got IN yesterday! SO, moral of our stories lol DON'T GIVE UP!
