The weeks of waiting for acceptance or rejection letters are dwindling down to days. Between the constant email-checking and All Nurses forum-checking, I wrestle with the thought that I have become a slave to thesix schools that hold my future in their hands.
It's bad, folks... Especially in the evenings, when I eagerly check my home mailbox only to find a Penny Saver and Del Taco coupons, a mockery of a consolation prize. My fate for the day is sealed and I know that the hope of receiving any responses is dead. All I can do is wait to repeat this agonizing ritual again the next day.
The kettle is not boiling because I always have an eye on it. My mind is screaming, "BOIL ALREADY!" but, of course, that never helps.
What about you? How do you pass the time to keep from going crazy?
Second-to-last place school (and I'm not just saying that because they rejected me :))
I got waitlisted at one school & rejected from another. I was devastated, feeling inadequate and all that.
1 month goes by & I hear nothing... then this past Monday I got an acceptance to a wonderful school that really wants me! I was elated and became motivated all over again.
Don't worry you will get in! And to the school that rejects you... screw 'em
CONGRATS.!!!! i am happy for you. what school did you apply to? I am waiting to hear from Caldwell...Anyone here waiting to hear from Caldwell college? They said we should hear from them by April 15, so lets see what happens. I checked the school portal for caldwell and the message said they have made a decision on my application and i should be hearing from them shortly by mail. I find my self stalking Caldwell and the mail man...now that is sad. After all this stalking, i hope i get in.

I applied to Rio Hondo, Pasadena Community, East Los Angeles, San Joaquin Delta, Sacramento City, and American River. So far, only Rio Hondo has given out notices.
At least you have options. I only applied to one school. Im sure you will get in. Still holding my breath for Caldwell
I also only applied to one school and I'm playing the waiting game and its painful. I have tons of papers to complete and a final to study for...but I stll manage to stalk my email accounts (3 of them) & my mailbox.
I only want to know if its good news ...
I have scheduled every exam brought everything I need...painted/decorated my study area...just waiting to pay my confirmation deposit.
I have no idea when the acceptance letters will go out...I'll be driving myself (& my family) crazy until I find out.
