Got My Acceptance Letter

Published

Specializes in ICU.

It finally came yesterday. I have been accepted for fall!!! But I didn't get in to the campus I wanted. We apply to the whole region at our school and they can put you at any campus in the region. So yesterday I was bummed. I felt like I had worked my butt off only to find out I may not be able to attend. This campus is a good 30 minute drive not to mention who knows where clinicals are. I am a single mom and I don't know if I can make it work.

I'm hoping that someone will decline their seat at my local campus and I can go there. Waiting on a phone call back. But I am very happy I made it into the program!! It's very hard to get in and I did it!!

Congrats!

A 30 minute drive doesn't seem like much at all, but I live in a city and that is pretty normal to get from one place to another. It will take me about 25 minutes to get to my school on a non-trafficky kinda day, and that is just getting from the SE side of town to the N side of town.

Good luck - I feel confident that you will be able to make it work.

Congratulations!

30 mins is not too bad of a drive but I hope you can get in at your local campus.. I'm sure being closer will be more convenient. Good luck and Congrats again.

CONGRATS!!! Your days will be so busy between school and family, it might be nice to have two 30-minute sessions of forced, dedicated "me time" each day -- might be the only quiet time you ever get! ;) I jest (kinda), but truly, congratulations on your accomplishment, and I hope you can figure out something that works for you! Best of luck!

Aw, congratulations!! 30 minutes isn't too bad- that's what my commute was, and many people commuted over an hour each way. Hopefully the campus you prefer will open up, but I think you can make it work if you must at the other one. What is your plan for child care, either way?

Congrats! I wish there was a town 30 minutes from me. To to another city is a good hour. I don't know how old your children are but if there is a daycare at the school that might make things easier. What about any family, could they help out? I hope everything works out for you!!

Well my plan with child care is either my ex or a good friend of mine. My son gets the bus at her house everyday. I know 30 minutes doesn't seem long but my son does competitive judo and practices a lot. The dojo is in my town and it's going to be hard to make practice when I'm so far away. And I honestly wouldn't worry so much but he is pretty good at this and I hate to lose the momentum he has built. We go to Dallas for the junior Olympics in a couple of weeks, then we go to Hawaii for another national event right after. I feel like I am going to be stretched to the limit if I go to the other campus. I may be worrying over nothing.
