I got my letter today

[val0000]

I got my letter today and I was denied!! I've been crying all day. I'm just so upset. I work my butt off and get a 4.0 and I still get denied because I don't have volunteer work! I work full time and all of the hospitals around here require these huge commitments to volunteer. I think it is ridiculous that someone with not as good grades can get accepted first just because they might have volunteered for six months?!? :angryfire The other thing is that 50% of the students get kicked out because they can't keep their grades up!!! This seems to me that they would want to accept the students with the better grades so they would be able to stick the program out!!I'm still waiting on a couple of other schools (letters don't come until May) but now I'm scared because I don't have a backup school to go to anymore. If these schools deny me that's it. Sorry I'm complaining soooooo much - I'm just angry and heartbroken. I tried so hard and wanted this soooo badly.

:balloons: :balloons: I am so glad to read that!!!

I really do wish you well on the other schools, but don't want you to give up either way!!!! :balloons:

Thanks soooooo much everybody!!! Everyone has made me feel so much better!! You guys are right - I'm not going to give up - I've worked way too hard to get this far. I'm just going to pray that one of my other schools accept me and if not I'll just start volunteering like crazy for the next year and try again! I'm determined to become a nurse no matter how many times I have to reapply. Thanks for the support!! I don't know what I would do without this forum! :)

Sorry to hear, Gather your wits and look into other programs More applications = more chances. That is what I did, When I found out I didn't make it into one program I applied to another and then in October I found out I was in so Keep your head up and start searching. good luck you can do it.
