For all of us who are sweating bullets waiting on acceptance/rejection letters...

Published

I just turned in three of my four applications :uhoh3:, and I'm already sweating bullets! Just thought I would start a support thread for those of us impatiently awaiting results for the Spring of 2008.

Good luck to everyone!!!!

Hey Y'all,

I just wanted to let you know that on Friday I officially got "the letter", I knew that I had gotten in already, but this makes it official. I'm so excited:monkeydance:!!!! Classes start on January 2nd. There is paperwork that has to be back on November 1st. There is paperwork that has to be back on November 19th. Open House on October 30. Shots that I need to get. Tests that I need to have done(TST, twice no less!!) Lots of stuff to do before those deadlines. Orientation in December!! All while working full time and going to school still at night. It's going to be a bumpy ride but well worth it at the end!! For those of you sweating it out, it's been said before, enjoy the ride because the relief you feel at the end of it all is going to be worth it. For those of you who have been rejected more times than you can count, keep your head up and shoulders high. If the desire to make nursing your career is there, then you will do whatever you have to do in order to get into nursing school. There is a fire deep down inside of me that will not go out ever. I've wanted to do this since I was 16 years old but never quite made it this far. I'm 31 now and have had things happen in my life that prevented me from my goal. From here, it is uncharted territory. I'm so happy and proud of myself right now. I have a very supportive family who is proud of me and I have a mother who is watching over me from above and cheers me on. I'm enjoying this high, and know that I still have work to do. Hang in there, everyone who is still waiting. I wish you all luck!!!:p

Sincerely,

B:roll

hi all!

i found out this past week that i was accepted into the private school i applied to!! yay, i also applied to my local cc but will not find out about that school until november. i was hoping to go to the cc because it would save me a ton of money, but the people at the private college are so good to me i'm almost tempted to say screw it and just go to that one. they are really caring and sit and talk to me as a friend, absolutely amazing!! at my cc i'm known by my id number, lol, but the :price is right:. i don't know i'll see how it goes next month. anyone in the same position as i? or any good advice...thanks..

best wishes to all,

Congratulations to all who have acceptance letters!!!:balloons:

On a different note...does anyone here remember the study released a few years ago that showed if you have good news, the best way to make your joy last the longest is to NOT tell people?

The researchers found from following college students who were accepted into their desired degree programs that those who told the most people soonest experienced the least joy from their good news. Those who told a precious few and waited longer to tell everyone in their lives felt more joy, longer. It has to do with people not living up to your expectations of excitement, not understanding the importance, etc.

Anyway, food for thought for some getting those precious acceptance letters.

You might be surprised. I assume I would tell everyone I know...but maybe I could hold it in for a bit and feel my joy longer...

Hmmm... Are you trying to tell us something without actually saying it? lol ;) I can see how there could be a reduction in the joy experienced if someone expects or hopes for different reactions than they end up getting. Maybe I can hold out when I find out...?
