I'm really new here so I hope I can be so bold as to babble on about my day and my nervousness.
Well, after several years of 1 class per semester, I finally turned in my application for my local cc's Spring 15 ADN program!!! It might seem silly, but this is a dream realized for me, just to actually apply.
Closing date is 08/08 and then a 5/6 week wait, possibly longer according to someone in the office. Herein lies my problem!!!
I spent the drive back to work and most of the afternoon in anxiety. 5-6 weeks seems like forever and it's all I have on my mind..."Will I make it?" Being accepted will completely change my life as I will retire from my job of 24 years to attend school to be a nurse, my dream since I was a young girl. So, this is a HUGE deal for me. I'm so scared of not being accepted. I previously posted about an ancient GPA hurting my cumulative GPA. I spoke to the Admin Asst taking & checking apps and she seems to think I don't have anything to worry about. "However" it depends on how competitive this application pool is. My HESI score is 95 and my GPA is 3.17 (without the 1980's GPA's).
I'm trying to figure out how to handle this wait..this Prayer of course, is #1, and I've sent silent prayers up all day for God to bless my plans and help me accept whatever the outcome is. I just keep thinking about or trying not to think about how utterly disappointed I'll be if I don't make it.
How do you cope with anxious waiting for important news about your nursing goals?
