Applying to schools and depressed

Try not to worry. It is out of your hands. Have faith and a backup plan in case you don't get in. You don't want to fall into a serious depression because of this. Not all 600 applicants can get accepted into every school. Once people choose their school, it opens up more spots for people who are temporarily wait listed.

You are in the right place if your looking for support. People who aren't going through this will never truly understand.

I am sorry that you are feeling that way. I did too for awhile until I realized I was doing myself harm as far as stress levels. I am waiting to see if I am accepted to my cc. They select 100 and usually 400 apply. I won't find out until April. I try to use positive affirmations and I like to imagine that I have been accepted. Maybe it is a daydream for now, but it helps me to stay positive. Good Luck!!!

thank you guys for your kindess and words of advice. You don't know how much it means to me to have support.

Goodluck mom35. I hope u get into ur program.

I totally get how you're feeling. I should be hearing back from one of the programs that I applied to in the next week or two, but I can't seem to stay positive about it. This whole process is just so competitive it really makes me doubt myself. I know I am smart and capable, but the idea of having to wait a whole year to apply again is like torture. I guess I need to stay positive until I find out anything for sure one way or another. Wish me luck!

Sending positive thoughts to all of you guys...

I hope you all get in the program.

Goodluck cheercml! I hope you receive an acceptance letter. I sent out a few applications this month and I just want to fast forward time to see if I get into any schools. The waiting game is going to drive me crazy.

did you apply to MJC? I spoke with a counselor, she told me all 400 people who apply aren't all necessarily qualified to go into the lottery.

yes I'm going to apply to mjc. But I've never had any luck in anything. I'm just really hoping this time for the lottery it will be different.

I've seen a few lvn programs at an

adult school. I was wondering if u heard of anything about it.

The adult school here just started this week. They offer a CNA Certification for $123, EMT class and certificationfor $375, medical terminology for $30, Pharmacy Tech for $1595 (includes equipment, clinical's and certification), and Medical Asst. for $35. But, No LVN.

thanks for the info. I think I remember seeing an accredited lvn program at a Vacaville adult school. But I don't understand what's the difference between an adult school and a community college.

Yeah I get how you feel. I've been on a waitlist for two years now. It is really discouraging to know that you have to postpone your dream for a couple years. Later this year my high school classmates will be graduating from college with degrees and I don't really have anything to show. I guess what has kept me going is that I will eventually get there and I have the rest of my life to work as a nurse, this is just a little bump in the road. I should be getting into a program this fall and when that time comes it will seem so weird that the time has FINALLY come. Well i wish you good luck and just want you to know that there are tons of people out there that feel the same way.
