I got the letter!!

Wahoo!!! Totally unexpected, here's the story.

I have applied to two school - Kwantlen and Douglas.

Haven't heard a thing from Kwantlen since my initial application (form + transcripts submitted only) in November, so was beginning to lose hope. Plus a good friend said it took her 3 years to get into nursing there. So I get a letter in the mail from Kwantlen, and the first thing out of my mouth was, "it's about time they sent me something!". Shockingly enough, it was a conditional acceptance for September '06!!!!! YAY!!! All I have to do is submit a criminal record check, immunization record, and CPR level C and I'm IN NURSING SCHOOL!!

*happy dance happy dance*

I'm sooooo excited.

Now for the scary part though - how and when do I tell my boss?

Hooray :)

Now I'm waiting to hear from Douglas. What will I do if I get in for both?

Exciting!!

YAY FOR YOU!!! :cheers: :biere: :yeah:

You should tell your boss when you feel comfortable. I can't keep a secret; my employer already knows I'll be leaving in the summer. Plus there was someone there whom I really wanted to tell...sometimes folks have things coming, you know?

Which school are you most interested in? You have one acceptance; is there a deposit due and when is it due? You could always wait and see what the second school says, and then select your program (what a lucky duck you are!).

I am hoping to be in the same situation - having to make a choice between two schools :)

Congrats!

Really, you only need to give them a two-week's notice, but you need to make the best judgment on that.

As for two acceptances.....think long and hard on which school you want to go to the most.

Good luck to you!

Thanks guys! It still really hasn't sunk in. I've been out of school for almost 5 years now, and have been working at my job for 4.5 of those years. Thinking about leaving a full-time job at a great company is scary, but I'm just sooooo excited to go back to school!

I took a 3-year Industrial Microbiology course and graduated with honours, so I think that might have helped me get in.
