Ok, I was accepeted for the Spring 2012 RN program in September:) which Im happy about!
But I'm starting to becomes nervous and scared of whats to come. I know how hard and how much work must be put into this, but I'm starting to sike myself out of thinking that I will make it through.
For the newly accepted student for the Spring 2012, are you guys feeling happy, excited, nervous, scared and doubtful all at the same time?
I've been so paranoid about purchasing anything you bc I'm taking my last 3 recqs now. In my mind I'm thinking (what if I dont pass my classes), which is ridiculous bc the semester ends in 2 wks and I currently have very good grades. But still.....I think I just making up excusses bc Im still in shock about getting accepted.
Sorry, I just went off on a rant....back to the orginal question, LOL!
@ mjmoon: NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!! LOL!!!!!! I thought snow would be a great winter addition to my life...UNTIL NOW, I returned home (to my mom's house in Seattle) until school begans...
It really does rain A LOT here! And by a lot, i mean 5-6 days out of the week!!!!
Maybe snow will not be as bad because I won't be wet all day????? AND I can still go out and be 'active' (snow sports!) and not sit in the house singing 'rain rain go away'. lol
PS....You've been to Buffalo?!?! What is it like????
I find Buffalo to be charming. It's an old town that was hit decades ago (economy wise) and I'm not sure it ever fully recovered- but it's homey. Lake Erie is absolutely beautiful. You're not far from Niagara Falls, which would make a nice day or weekend get away for you. If you don't mind cold, you'll love Buffalo.. and the summers are nice a mild. :)
I found out I was accepted over a month ago. At the beginning I was feeling shock and excitement and I'm now moved over to anxious, because we have our orientation next month and I can't wait to just jump in there and go. I'm sure I'm going to get to the OMG phase any moment now. lol
@Tela.....I graduated from DYouville in '04 but with a degree in Business.....it is a great school that is known for their very strong nursing program.....congrats on getting in and good luck to you!!
@jumpinjax: Thanks! Are you still in Buffalo?!?! Can you recommend areas/streets that are close enough to walk or take public transportation (less than 30 mins one way) to D'Youville. (I don't know if I'll be bringing my car yet)
Ok too be honest the school is not in the best area of town....you've got to remember Buffalo is a tired, old city...I lived in the southtowns and commuted to school each day...one of the best things about Buffalo is the commute is NOTHING like living in a big city...if there is traffic then it may take you 30mins to get anywhere in Buffalo....other than that the rule is generally 20mins. I live in Houston now and I really miss that commute. Lol! I lived in Buffalo for 25years though. I would plan on bringing your car b/c public transportation is not really a reliable option there...not like it is in a big city. As far as areas of town, I grew up in Orchard Park, but Amherst is also very nice and not too far from the school. I hope you like the snow....I really suggest you visit before school starts if you can make it out there.
...if bringing your car is not an option, or you do not like driving in snow....I would suggest living on the campus...check out the schools options for living on campus on their residence life page
I'm very excited! I am bit nervous about doing clinical, since I have no idea what to expect. I'm mostly excited, though. I'm registering for classes tomorrow! I start school January 9th, and I'm going to a BSN program in Omaha, Nebraska.
Very excited as well... glad to see so many happy people on here... I begin the BSN program at California State University, Long Beach on January 23rd. I'm just busy getting all my vaccinations and titers complete as early as I can, so I can enjoy my winter break before the business begins.
I just receive my except letter yesterday, I'm so excited but nerves at the same time. All I can do is put my best foot forward, and never forget that everything is decide by the man up stairs. He bought me this far, and I have to believe he will take me even further. Congrats to everyone, and I wish u all the best. :ancong!: :clpty:
Ok I start the bridge in 9 days. I'm trying to prepare myself much as possiable: Ive bought all books, uniforms, supplies, shoes etc...I'm even going to IKEA today to see if I can find a desk (for a good study area) for the last 2 years I've used the kitchen table and my bed for a study area but I dont think that will work for studying nursing.
I've made out a sitter plan for my 9 year and everything but I cant help but to feel an overwhelming sense of fear and anxiety about whats to come. I know I should be so excited bc nursing schools arent easy to get accepted to but my fear/nervous is becoming greater than my happiness about starting.
Dont get me wrong I'm greatful that I made it but just very scared about things working out for me making it though the next year. Maybe once I start and see how the routine is working, I'll feel better.....
Does anyone else feel this way, as it gets closer for you to start the program this month?
