How did classmates who didn't get into nursing school react when you got in?

I just wanted to know what everyone's experience is whether it is similar to mine. I recently told a few of my old LVN classmates that I bridged into an RN program. Of course they all congratulated me but, a few questioned how I got in so quickly or that they too needed to work on bridging too. However, the classmates which I was really good friends in LVN school have become jealous of me and are ignoring me and one has flaked on me twice when we planned to go out to dinner. :crying2: I'm sad that it came to this but, I worked REALLY hard to get to where I am at right now. I don't know how to approach this situation and don't want to burn bridges or have to break friendships.

Thankfully, I have made some new friends in my RN program. Has anyone encountered this kind of jealously with former classmates once you shared your good news?

Thank God everyone here at allnurses is supportive. :)

Thanks for listening everyone.

I have a friend who i went through most of my pre-reqs with....... i recently received my acceptance letter to start in the Fall and she, unfortunately did not..... anyhow i know she is discouraged and upset but she has been nothing but supportive and happy for me.....that is how you know it is a true friend...any reaction other than that.....forget about it.
