Goodwin College Spring 2018 ASN Program

U.S.A. Connecticut

Published

Hello everyone,

this forum is for people who didn't get accepted into the Fall 2017 ASN class and for the new comers! I didn't make it for Fall 2017 since the cutoff was higher than the points I earned but I'll just try again and work harder.

Let's encourage each other and see what next year does!

Congratulations!!!!! So happy for you.

Still haven't received a letter yet. What was the cutoff for points?

The mail came for me. I didn't get in. Cut off was 16 points. I'm not sad at all but I'm frustrated. I got a 4.0 last semester and worked so hard. My options are is to try again or I go for the LPN. I'm not sure the RN path is for me right now. I've tried really hard and I guess I need to drop down and come back to it later.

I can't let this get to me but I have to graduate and I said no matter what kind of nurse.

Please don't give up Peacelove889. I had to try several times. I have a hard time taking tests. I was on the deans list, had extra points for getting associates (since i went that route by not getting in last 2 times). Keep your head up and keep trying. It is VERY competitive. Just keep taking courses towards your bachelors. That way when you graduate,you will graduate with your bachelors instead of associates. :)

Also.. Go on the ATI site and print out all the review info they give you for what you need help with. That helped me ALOT. and get the ATI TEAS secrets study guide on amazon. It has practice tests and a great book.

I‘m not sure, I'm worried about where I stand right now. I'm unemployed, I'm about to be off my parents insurance next year, and I don't have a lot of experience. I got my associates in Health Sciences this year and my other associates is Pre-Nursing from my first school.

I just feel like I'm behind and I want to get on with my life. I never thought things would be this way. I failed out of a bachelors program in 2015. I've been in school since I graduated highschool in 2010. I think part of me wants to finish now and try later. There's a lot to think about.

I'm so sorry.. I know it is very discouraging. I was having a mini melt down the past 2 semesters. Like I'm stuck. I'm never going to get in. It is so disheartening. Maybe take some time to yourself. Skip next semester and find a place to work that you like. and study for the Teas still and take it for the Summer enrollment. This process seems unfair. Taking a test doesn't make you a good nurse. You have a great GPA and are an amazing student from knowing that. We sometimes have to fight harder for what we want. And it seems unfair :( I lost out on a great job opportunity last semester waiting to hear whether I was accepted or not for Fall. Had an offer at St Francis. But of course they can't be flexible with school. So i couldn't make a decision until i heard. As always they wait till the last days before enrollment to tell you and I lost out on the offer. I was really discouraged and felt lost. I wanted to give up. Take a break if needed, but don't give up on something you've worked hard towards

Thanks Ctblueeyes,

It's a rough process and I wish there was something better but I'm not giving up and beating myself up because I tried and I know whatever happens it's going to be ok. I took time today to be sad about it and then I continued on.

I know things will get better but things are tougher first. Thanks so much for the words of encouragement. I wish the best for everyone else. It's not the final bell for me yet! :)

Peacelove, never give up! I felt that way last semester and had no clue what to do... definitely pursue your dream! You worked hard and will one day be a great nurse! Keep your chin up!

Thanks so much. I'll be alright, I've faced quite a bit of challenges and thus is just another one that I need to overcome. Life goes on. I'll move forward and choose what's best for me.

The medical field is tough for a reason but I know I'm here to make a difference and have high hopes for myself. ;)
