I am so afraid. I've been waiting for this week since October and now that's this week is finally here, I don't want it to be here. I am seriously freaking out. I keep looking out of the window for the Mail-man and I know he wont be here until 3pm but I still look anyway. I'm talking I actually have the blinds and curtains open and I hate sunlight I just feel that I'm going to be disappointed. I need prayers you guys I honestly have been thinking about not opening the letter. I mean i've been having dreams of getting an acceptance letter for weeks. And out of no where last week, I started having dreams of denials. What's going on? Can someone give me some kind of support.

I'm in the same boat.
I think after we did the work, submitted our applications, and did everything in our power to get in---> we have to rely on faith (whatever that means to you) I was having the same problem a couple days ago and I got this advice from the forum as well. It has really helped.
Take some deep breaths, try to find something to keep your mind off of it. If it is meant to be this semester, it will happen. If not, I guess we will have to apply next time around! I wish you the best of luck! Let me know when you hear.
It'll happen, I have faith!

Just try to stay as positive as you can. I'm a big believer in the right thing happening (even in my other posting). You make your future, not some flimsy paper envelope!

Just wanted to say to those waiting...keep your head up! I know exactly how your feeling..been there myself 2 years ago...Just keep positive, and keep telling yourself, what will be, will be. No matter what I say, your going to still be stressed out, but try to take some "me" time. Sitting there and thinking about it will not make the mail come any faster. Also, no matter what that letter says, if you want to be a nurse, you will be! Your all in my prayers!

Hi,
I shared a quote yesterday..."worrying is like paying interest on money that you don't even owe yet." So try and relax, and think of something else... that letter will come and you will be surprised!
Do things to keep your mind off of it... do something outside that you enjoy, go shopping, go to a movie, read a book. Do something that will keep your mind busy.... and then when someone else checks the mail and hands you the letter, you will be super surprised!
"worrying is like paying interest on money that you don't even owe yet."
I love that quote! Thanks so much for telling it-- I say it at least once a day now!!

Listen, dont give up hope--even if you DONT get a letter, if you want to be a nurse bad enough you WILL find a way. I have learned this the hard way...
I got a totally unexpected acceptance (actually reacceptance-long story) letter last week and it was so wonderful...It came a year late! But I never gave up hope...

I'll find out around April 15th whether or not I get in for Fall '06.
This is my second time to apply. Getting a denial letter only made me more determined!!!
Yes, it set me back a little, almost felt like giving up, yadda, yadda.... However, I know in my heart, that this is the farthest I have ever came to Nursing School!
I started college right out of high school, but stopped going before I graduated.
I never even got to the point of applying to a nursing program! Now look at me! I am past the old hurdle, and have cleared a new hurdle. I won't know if there is another hurdle until April 15th, but I know the finish line is on the same track.
If you give up & get off track, you will never get to that finish line.
Good luck. I wish you the best, whenever. (I really do hope you get right in!)
