    I know how you feel. I took the TEAS exam and failed the math portion by a few points. I was so discouraged after that. I did apply to another school that required a math and reading entrance exam that you needed to get at least 18/20 math questions right in order to get in and I passed it and got into that Nursing program.

    Regardless of why you were rejected- don't give up on getting into Nursing school. You will get in, just maybe not on the first shot.

    Don't let it upset you I was rejected for 6 years straight at other school. Finally I applied at my school and got in. I realized that it just wasn't my time. Now I'm prepared for nursing school and you can start preparing now too the earlier you start the better

    Rejection does hurt but it makes the inevitable acceptance that much sweeter. Just keep working hard and try to improve yourself as much as you can.

    We all have to die a bit before we live again. Keep sending those letter and applications out.
    Forget the ones that reject you. mail scores out so if you get one rejection it will not hurt as much.
