How I got accepted first and only application..

This post is not at all to brag but to give hope to students who are in the application process for their ADN. I graduated with my BA in 2012. Working for an amazing company and making great money I realized there was something missing. I wasn't getting the self satisfaction and I was ultimately not happy going to work every day. I decided I needed a change and realized it wanted to be a nurse.So in Febuary, I started to search local junior colleges for 4 classed I needed: anatomy, physio, micro and lifespan. Because I have never went to a junior college I quickly found out it was virtually impossible to get any classes especially those three science classes. I found these classes at the Whittier Health Science College that offer accelerated classes. They are 4 week weekend classes that are Saturday and Sunday from 8-6:30 z(please note they were 2,000/ a class) I signed up for all of my science classes. That was Anaromy, physio and micro- three months, working full time and going to school all day on the weekend. On top of that I squeezed in a summer school online class for lifespan. I finished all four classes in 3 months- with all A's. It was tough but totally worth it. So it was about September I finished (took July off) and I decided to apply to Rio Hondo College on a limb. I literally got my application done in like 2 days to meet the deadline for October 1. I honestly didn't think I would get in because of how competitive I have heard all nursing programs are. I received a skinny envelope a month later thinking its so small it can't be anything. I opened it and saw congratulations I have been accepted! Now I am getting ready to start my ADN journey. I'm nervous, scared, but I want others to know with being hopeful and working hard you can do it the first try. Just shoot for straight A's for your pre reqs you never know. Good luck to everyone on their own journey.
