How did you celebrate your nursing school acceptance letter?

Angelicone · May 24, 2011

Well, I was in Bio Lab and was getting concerned because a few people had already gotten their letters of acceptance and most had gotten declined. I was talking with my lab partner about other schools and starting the application process and then class ended. I walked out of the class and my best friend called stating that I had a letter from the department of nursing at my school. I asked her to open it and read it to me, so she then said, "I'm sorry...". I was like, "Oh well, I guess I have to start applying for some other schools." Then she said, "You made it!" I was like, "You play too much, girl!" Then I started shouting, "Thank you, Jesus!"

Honestlyi, I feel like such a girl to admit it and would never admit it to my friends. I cried like a little girl, I dont know why, I knew Ide probably get in it was just such a load off. Then me and the wife went to dinner:)

I had been waiting MONTHS to hear if i was excepetd or not. Finally i gave up looking in the mail for a acceptance letter.

My boyfriend checked the mail and put it on the table..later that day i decided to sort through it,opened my letter and screamed. Hit my boyfriend for letting my letter sit there for a few hours, cried hugged him, called my dad and sent out emails and texts

I did the same...we had to turn in a written statement of acceptance. So I dropped my letter off and then cried like a baby in my car for about 10-15 minutes. It has been the best ...most nerve racking experience of my life. ( I am an older student, so that is saying ALOT) I have worked for 2 years getting my pre -reqs done and most of my concurrent electives ...and I have wanted this for so long....all I could think of ..was what if I do not make it?!?!?

I saw it on the University portal (website) and then received an email soon thereafter.... I must have "refreshed" the page and signed in and out several times to make sure this wasn't just a "glitch" in the system. I finally decided I NEEDED to call the admissions office to clarify, and the lady said: "Yes, we have your offer of admission". I jumped/cried/danced/screamed/... anything and everything. I was so excited to know that my dream had finally come true. :nurse:

everyone in my program had gotten their letter already, but i had not. i had a pre planned backpacking trip with no phones planned for that weekend. i spent the whole weekend knowing that my answer was waiting for me when i got home... very frustrating. My boyfriend sent me a picture of my cat standing on my acceptance letter. i got the text when my phone got reception as me and 4 friends were driving home. i demanded we pull over and have an impromptu dance party with another car full of friends that we flagged down. great day:)

Well, being that I just received my acceptance letter today, I thanked God first and then told my husband that we need to go out for dinner with our 4 children. He is about to accept a position as a Supervisor so I told him that I would share my celebration!

I screamed, jumped around my house and did my happy dance with my four kids. They had been waiting patiently with me through it all and were just as excited as I was! :lol2: :yeah: :lol2:

I thanked God. Kissed my husband and then hid in a room and secretly did the happy dance!

I was at work when I received the call from my admissions counselor that I was accepted. I wanted to scream at the top of my lungs. After I got of the phone I went outside and called my hubby and my kids and screamed then that I was accepted into the nursing program. I cried and just thanked JESUS for everything because without him I would not have made it. Then I celebrated with the family. I am so excited to be starting nursing in the Fall

I didn't celebrate at all as I pretty much knew I was in before I got the official letter. I did however celebrate my successful completion of the first semester of nursing school by promptly getting wasted after my last final exam.
