I applied for the RN program at my college back in Dec. I won't find out until the end of January or maybe a bit later. The wait is killing me especially since I am still on Christmas break and classes don't resume for me until Wed. I completed all of my pre reqs for this college so I took a few fluff classes this semester to keep me busy so I won't be stressed out.
There are days when I feel really confident and tell myself "you'll get in. you did good in all your classes. you have nothing to worry about". Then I have moments when I am very, very anxious and fear that I may get put on a waitlist until 2014 or not accepted at all due to other students with slightly more competitive and better grades than I am. I end up on the verge of tears.
I am under pressure from my family because they are expecting me to get in and I don't want to let them down. if I don't get in I'll be so embarassed and I fear that they will lose faith in me. My parents do not understand the whole college process, they didn't even understand why I was taking all those classes without being in nursing school. so if I dont get accepted they'll be asking me all these questions about what am I going to do with my life, and why am I still taking courses if I am not in the nursing program. If I get accepted the concept will be much easier for them to understand than hearing me explain to them that I need to apply to different schools or take an extra course because this school requires it
I'm pouring myself two! One to drink before and the other after to calm myself.
I have "the letter" bottle of wine. Good or bad, there will be wine consumed. And I haven't even submitted my application yet! In fact, our application just became available yesterday and I forced myself out of the house for a run to get out the nervous energy before I even allowed myself to look at it!
Our application deadline is March 1 with decisions mailed out between May 1 and June 1 (although I've heard it is usually earlier than this). I'm looking forward to celebrating happy acceptance news with you all to help me get through the wait!
I hate applying for things so I was going crazy a while back. But I've been alright ever since I realized that if I don't get in that doesn't mean I've failed and wasted my time and money. All it means is that I'll have to wait a little longer.
When school is finished and I'm applying for jobs, I don't know what I'll tell myself to keep my sanity. "Don't worry, you can always work in a free clinic if nobody is willing to pay you."

We are here to support. I just think it's crazy how long it takes to find out. Ugh I'm a couple weeks away from the deadline and it feels like eternity!
