Sorry to here about you not getting in. You are going to get a lot of replies from the poor you people and the it is wrong people, but not me.

I wouldln't have wrote a letter but I would have explained the day of the interview what was going on and told them that I will do my best. Nursing is a field full of tremendous pressures and nursing school is probably the hardest thing you will do in life. It can take a toll on your marriage, health and life.

Times like your interview are when you need to pull it together the most. What would of happened if all that series of event happened right before a week of clinical, would you tell the family of a dead patient "my whole self was not able to give them the right medicine"?

Hopefully they will give you another chance, but be on your "A" game from that point on.

I would apply again at the next opportunity, could it be that you weren't accepted because getting in is so competitive and it may not have anything to do with how you performed at your interview? Keep your head up and try again :wink2:
