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?
Don't do what I did...I was so stressed about getting my acceptance letter that I got shingles while waiting, and developed Grave's disease (both were onset by stress!) In the end, I was accepted to both schools I applied to...
Deep breath, take your mind off of it...keep busy, and try not to think about it. You can't change what happens at this point!
So far I've been rejected from 3/4 of the schools I've applied to, waiting to hear from the Denver School of Nursing; which will be a huge transition for me. I'm anticipating hearing from them within the next couple of weeks. Congrats to everybody who has been accepted, and good luck to those still waiting! :]
Congrats to all who got accepted! I'm waiting to hear back from the school I applied to. I applied in mid march and won't find out until mid to late June ..... ::fingers crossed:: I only applied to one school and really hope I get in!
Congratulations to everyone who got into their programs! I am still waiting. We were first told we would be notified by 4/1, then we were notified they were eliminating 18 spots so it will be even harder to get in, then we were told we will her back sometime in "April or May." Who knows when I will hear back, but I am keeping my fingers crossed and driving my husband crazy while waiting :)
I am happy to announce that I have been accepted into one of the RN programs I applied to!! I couldn't be happier :) I can't wait to get to write R-N behind my name!
I just completed my finals, pre-reqs completely finished, house finally cleaned and now I have to actually wait. I think I should hear in a week or two, but that seems like a long time!
