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!!!
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!
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.

Hey guys. I'm a prenursing student and I've finished my prerequisites. I'm applying to about 10 schools for fall 2009 around the northern Cali area (all cc schools) I'm applying to both lvn and rn programs to see what options I have. It just feels so discouraging, knowing that my chances of getting into a school are very low especially when there can be over 600 applicants for one school. Every night I can't help but feel anxious, scared, and stressed. I cry almost everynight feeling useless and very depressed. I've considered going to western career in Sacramento but it was so expensive. For their lvn program it's 43k and transition to rn would be an additional 30k. It just isn't worth it to me to spend that much for an associate degree. Besides the fact that I can't afford it.
Thanks for reading my post. I'm just in search for some words of encouragement. I don't know who I can talk to, it seems like my friends don't understand how stressful this is. I just want to be in school to be an rn that's all, but everytime I think about it my dream seems to get harder and harder to reach.
