How are you celebrating your acceptance?

CrystalBlake · Mar 23, 2014

I received my acceptance letter March 1st. I haven't actually celebrated yet. We just relocated 3000 miles across the country so our family could be together, and then I got accepted back home. Of course I'm going to go back for school, I've worked so hard for this, but it causes a lot of mixed feelings. I feel guilty for choosing something for myself( I never put myself first). Out here, where we moved, there are waiting lists years long. I am also excited, but now I am flooded with worries of failing nursing school. After all the dedication, what if I do not make it? I haven't been able to share my feelings with my husband, because he is bitter that I'm leaving, but he wants me to have a career...confusing huh? I hope to be celebrating soon:)

At my university, applicants for the Fall 2014 start were told we would know by March 15th. E-mails were sent out earlier than that. My heart was pounding when I opened the email, and I was thrilled to know I was accepted! I'm soooo ready to start.

I received my acceptance yesterday when I got home from my 12 hour shift as a CNA II in Hemoc-Oncology and I haven't stopped grinning from ear to ear! I want to encourage every applicant and student out there to keep on trying! I am a very young 60 embarking on a second career after 30 plus years in corporate America. If I can do this so can you!

Your post is very inspirational! I am in my early 40s and wonder some days if I have lost my mind. I am ready for the classes to start so I can focus on them! :)

Crystalblake,

I am sure you will do fine. All of your stresses are causing you to worry about failing nursing school. It is HARD work getting to the point of acceptance, so you've already made it over a huge hurdle.

Got my letter yesterday. They were supposedly mailing them today, but all week I've been impatiently waiting for the mail. I was sure it was a 'no' because the envelope was so thin -- just one sheet of paper. When I was applying to schools back in the day, a thick packet meant yes, a single page meant no. Then I read, "It is a pleasure to inform you..."

LOL, I thought mine was a rejection as well for the same reason. I'm super excited and scared :nailbiting: What have I gotten myself into? LOL

I got my acceptance letter April 1st I am so happy because after two children and a lot of set backs I am finally accepted! I have not celebrated yet because I have to do a Declaratory Order. So I may not be approved before the program starts. I am hopeful and can only pray. The day I get my all clear from the BON is when I will celebrate!

I was on my way to a temp interview for an Exec Assistant job with a good salary; I get a call for an offer for this exclusive position in the claims denial department of a major health insurer. I was still riding high, so i canceled the temp agency meeting.

Went to my university to study/cram for an environmental Bio final - had a drink because that teacher is a pill and a PITA.

Nonchalantly checked my email and saw my local (cheap tuition) ADN acceptance - screamed so loudly and jumped/danced/cried - pulled myself together. Called the recruiter back and rescinded the offer.

Went on to perform the best on that final and just cried and laughed and everything else that looked crazy for about a week.

I am still inshock and it is 1.5 semesters later.
