Anxiously waiting for the acceptance bus

Published

Hello everyone!

I have been haunting these discussion boards since I decided i wanted to become a nurse. I started my pre-nursing pathway a couple years ago and am so excited to say that I was finally able to apply to the nursing school of my dreams! The deadline for fall '17 semester was the 1st of February. I was told by the nursing director that she would have the 30 candidates selected a week after the deadline.

Since I became eligible to apply I had been over the moon extatic! But now that I'm having to wait for selections I find my self far more anxious and bothered by things that never bug me. I'm usually as chill as a cucumber.

Have others felt the same way or am I overthinking the outcomes? Anyways please chime in.

Its always a nerve-raking time when you're waiting for something really important. That's a normal feeling. Did you only apply to 1 nursing school?

I won't know my admission decision until early April :/ And I know how never racking it is for you, but just try to get your mind focused on something else to keep you from thinking negative things.

Wow, I wish we only had a one week wait! Our applications are due 1 May, but we don't find out until the end of July (or early August)! I have no idea why it takes so long, it's a tiny program, and based on points, gpa, hesi.

I hate waiting too. This summer will be rough!! And the worst part is we start in August... So we only have a couple weeks to get everything together.

My deadline was January 31 and they'll start sending out emails mid to late this month. It's a highly competitive BSN program. Sixty-four spots and nearly 200 applicants. It's all I can do to not think about it every five minutes, but luckily my A&P II and Micro are keeping me busy. Soon enough!

Which State are you in, HopefulNurse? This sounds a bit like the program I hope to attend.

Yeah I applied to only one because I'm from a rural area. Luckily the school has an outstanding nursing program.

I guess I should be grateful, the website says 6 weeks for selection results but they make their selection rather quickly.

I wish I found out that soon! Our deadline to apply is April 1st, and we will find out if we got in sometime in May. I already applied in January so now I'm just anxiously waiting and finishing up my last prerequisites.
