The waiting period

[hgt219]

Hey guys! I've applied to two nursing schools in my area and I won't know till the end of June/beginning of July for both. This waiting period is horrible! Anyone want to share stories of how they distracted themselves or just offer support? I know God will get me in when it's my time, I just want it to be now! I'd love to talk with all of you waiting folks and the ones that have already gone through this!

I totally understand exactly how u feel...I'm patiently waiting on my acceptance letter also, I just spoke with the lady in the nursing dept where I'm going to be attending and she told me that she will be sending letters out first thing Monday morning (July 1st). I'm nervous but I have talked to God and I have told him that I trust him with my life and if it's meant for me to get into this nursing program then it will happen. Good luck to everyone who is waiting and just remember that trouble don't last long =)

I totally understand!! I applied to Hopkinsville Community College and I am on the wait list. It's horrible! They have an admission conference on July 9th and from there, if people don't show up they decide if they pull from the wait list! This is killing me!

" Anyone want to share stories of how they distracted themselves..."

Cigars, Scotch, and quality time with my buds behind a rifle--once my app dropped into the mailbox everything was out of my hands so I went and had some good times b/c getting worried/stressed would accomplish nothing.

Lol!! Love it!

so waiting here as well.

heres my background. I was accepted at my last school as of this past may however my hubs is military and we got transferred so because I knew it was coming up i did everything in my power to get set up with my new school. After tons of emails and phone calls and transcripts transferred and meetings with nursing directors, I was assured I could apply for the "next" group which is for the spring and its a wknd course program which is great for me bc of work and I can be home with my daughter and etc. etc. but being a wknd course It is very limited and highly sought after. I was told there is somewhere between 60-100 applicants and only 16 seats ... I went in with high hopes anyway but the longer I have to wait the more I worry. If for some reason i dont get in they told me to go ahead and def reapply for the following program but that wont start for another year (military meaning time is not always on our side and we move a lot so i need to start as fast as possible so ill have enough time to complete it)....If I dont get accepted I dont know what ill do. Our only other option is for me to go back 1000 miles across country and try to stick with the program i got accepted into the first time and seperate my family not what we want at all... moving has already interfered once and im an older student with a lot of older credits that are running out of time because I already have another degree so im not really the ripest of the pickings in some ways... lots working against me here

so so nervous with those kinda stats (26 to 16% chance of getting in not to mention the competitive portion)

and then once in we have a dosage calculation test prior to EVERY semester including the first that we have to score 100% on or were out....

sweating beads and praying so hard my knees are raw.... but lots of faith...its totally in his timing... but i just know this is meant to be and I wont will it any other way!!!

and very excited at the same time cant wait!!

meanwhile taking my last "extra non-prereq/non-nursing" course along with a class to help with that dosage calc stuff... as well as working as a CNA to keep busy...

and still finding time to be paranoid...lol and I havent even started yet! lol stress is so funny sometimes.

anywho..thanks for letting me vent and sharing your own stories

Best of luck to all waiting and A Huge Congrats to all accepted.

I have to wait until Sept.

I get my decision letter July 16th. The wait feels like torture. However my family and my Developmental psychology course that I'm taking now serves as a distraction. Congrats to those that got accepted, keep trying to those that didn't get in and good luck to those still waiting.

The wait is over and I'm in the nursing program. I'm very happy.
