    ...and if your essay DOESN'T work for them, consider THIS.... (!)

    " I want to be a nurse because there's a *&%#@!!! SHORTAGE out there, Dummy! Which means YOUR mother or grandchild may NEED me in the future, so quit messing with the sincere students by having them waste time writing these silly essays which serve no purpose whatsoever !" (just kidding, Girl!)

    Consider yourself lucky that you are able to include it on the application! I know one nursing school in my area that requires you to write a TWO PAGE essay ON-SITE (everyone crammed into a little room on campus!) as to why you want to be a nurse! Actually I think they just do it to see if you can write an essay!
    eww, now that's pressure, 2 page essay..

    Well, unfortunately the deadline for Fall 2003 semester isn't until January 1, so I probably won't find out anything until March.
    I did turn in the paper, though, thanks for the encouragement everyone!

    Just noticed, ashemson, that you are in KC! I went to nursing school on the Kansas side (JCCC). Worked at KU, right on the border. Always had this desire to commit some sort of victimless crime in MO, run across the street to KS, and go "Na-na-na boo-boo!" (silly I know)

    Hi Researchrabbit -
    I am going to school at MO Western. I really like it up there. Are you still in KS?
