Didn't get in.....

Published

So here's my story......I originally wanted to apply and get into the RN-ADN program at my school,but my TEAS score wasn't high enough(73%);it had to be a 75. I decided that since my score was high enough for the LPN I would go ahead and apply. So today I called up to the school and found out I wasn't accepted to the LPN program...My gpa is a 2.94, and I guess the best thing to do would be to just listen to the adviser and continue my pre's for the BSN and graduate with my A.A this fall.I was a litte disappointed today.Has anyone ever been in this similiar situation?Is there anyone who didn't get accepted who just feels like crying...:cry:

My advice to you is to persevere. I DO know what it is like not to get into a program you set your heart on. I did not get into law school (many years ago), and I did not get into anesthesia school (several years ago). Now I am about to start my Nurse Practitioner training this fall. It hurts to be rejected, and it is difficult not to take it personally, but you really cannot take it personally. When I look back, maybe I should have hedged my bets and not applied to only one school each time. Maybe there was an extraordinary pool to choose from that year. Maybe, maybe, maybe...we will never know. But, if your heart is in this, keep trying...you will find a way. In retrospect, I believe I was not meant for those careers, but for the one I am starting now. Maybe you were not meant for that one program, that one school...it does not mean you were not meant to be a nurse. So, pick yourself up, dust yourself off, and get back in there! I believe in you!

Thanks so much for the encouragement! I guess it's not so bad since I do have the preference of a BSN program after I am done with my associate's at the end of this fall semester...

Wow, what a crazy time to read this. I just got my rejection letter in today, I have been crying all day long :( It's just devastating that you have your heart set on something and some so small as two points holds you back. Our acceptance is based on a points system. I was TWO points short of the cut off! I got a 96% on the reading section of TEAS which I got 4 points for, and a 75% on the math portion which I only got 2 points for! I am going to get a tutor, take them my study book, and tackle this TEAS exam once again! Root for me!!!!

My heart goes out to you, but it sounds like you have a sound follow-up plan. I feel fortunate that I did not have to take the TEAS test at Wayne State U. when I began in 1999. Best of luck, and keep trying...your desire will help you to win in the end.

Lasst year I decided to take my science classes at PBCC, started with Chemistry and got a D. Not good enough for the LPN to RN bridge program. I was devestated. Haven't taken the class again. I'm too scared to fail again. Please, keep trying for all of us that are too scared to. Good luck, I'm pulling for you.

Specializes in None,but plan to be well trained in all.

:uhoh21: i'm nervous! i haven't applied to the program yet and won't until fall '10. on one of my pre-req i got an f. this was do to an unexpected family emergency, that left me no choice but to withdraw from the class! i'm in the process of having the grade appealed. i keep my fingers crossed in hopes they will grant me a fresh start in the class. i am schudule to take the class this fall but the program goes by your first grade.those who re-took any pre-req may not get a seat. i have plans to go up to the chairman of the program to speck my peace and present a letter.in hopes of gaining more info and a chance for a seat . i'm hoping the potential "f" doesnt keep me from my dream.....:icon_roll
