Am I the only student here that has anxiety when I think about not getting accepted?

Published

I am in the middle of taking my pre-reqs right now. I want to apply for the LPN program but it seems like the CC I am at every single person is going there for nursing. It just stresses me out so bad. I get a headache thinking about it. I am not sure If I should talk to my adviser about the chances of me getting accepted or how many people get accepted for the program for each semester. Maybe I should use this anxiety as my drive to study and work hard.

I am super nervous. I applied in July for Spring 2013. They said that letters go out the end of August. Here it is the last week in August, and I am still waiting on a acceptance/rejection letter. You just never know what the competition is like. We get accepted based on points. I have 5.5 points out of 7. This is what makes me super nervous because I have almost the max amount of points. So if I don't get in with this then I don't know what my next move will be. Another reason I am nervous is because someone said that letters started going out on the 15th of August. So I don't know if they send the letters out in any specific order, or if they go out randomly. Someone said that their school send out acceptance letters first so if someone can not attend then they call someone who did not get in. Good Luck!

Good luck! I hope you get your acceptance!

I still have 2 months, I could not imagine how nervous you are being at the time of letters being mailed!

Yes I feel your pain! I have an interview tomorrow....gosh I'm getting sick thinking about it.....if I do not get accepted I may have to go the LPN route...over 50 people have interviews for 24 slots!

I'm just going over things I'm sure they will ask so I don't sound too cheesy

I am in the same boat. I am 25 about to be 26 and am applying to 2 LVN programs and 1 ADN program. I PRAY I get in. I know I can do it, but my GPA isn't the best since I used to never take school seriously until I FINALLY figured out what I wanted to be... A NURSE :)

Absolutely, but I just have to keep my head clear and "in the game" so to speak. I think the best thing to do is to have a back up plan. I am applying for the Fall 2013, my school only starts every Fall and if you don't make it in you have to wait and apply for the following year. IF I don't get in then I will take my CNA, which I am doing this semester, and work as a CNA to gain more experience. So, like I said, just breath and have a back up plan!

This is my exact plan. I am 40 years old, so I really get a little scared as far as time is concerned. Here is what I tell myself everyday when I wake up "This is your dream, and you are doing everything possible to follow it" ,and then I have to leave it up to the man upstairs. I am trying very hard to get A's in all my classes. I am using every available tool that the college gives me. I really hope you get your acceptance letter soon.

You'll be amazed at the number of people in class that do not apply to nursing schools because they change their minds about careers, have to work full-time, families, etc. Only four of my fellow pre-req classmates have made to my nursing school. I was fortunate to get into the one and only program I applied to.

I am kind of scared since after this year I have nothing else to take so I am kind of anxious as well.
