I am obsessed

Jen_wannabe_OB_nurse · Jul 24, 2005

I am number 22 on the wait list for an LPN school. I may get in October or January. I have been thinking about nothing else since May. I have never wanted anything so bad in my life. I can't think about anything else. I think I am obsessed. :chuckle Anyone else go through this? The wait is painful.

:uhoh3: I know the feeling, I just started nursing school on July 18, 2005, before that, Nursing school was all I could think about. I thought about it day and night, I even dreamed about college and scrubs, I wanted it so bad I could taste it. I thought I was nuts, but I was just too anxious! You will get there if you want it enough, and I know you do! :balloons:

Definitely been there! Ive been wanting to go to nursing school for the past few years! One community college had pre reqs for the lpn and I took them and applied. They were first come first serve once u met the requirements and I went and waited in the dark the morning the application period began. They took the first 55 students and I was number 40 something. I just knew I was getting in. Well come to find out a few weeks later I DIDNT get in because my transcripts from another school were on hold due to a library fine!!! I didnt even know about it. So they kicked me out of the applicant pool and gave my spot away. I was on the waiting list and made it to #3 but didnt make it in. I was very upset! So anyway I ended up applying to a tech school and got in the class for the following Fall.

Everything happens for a reason though bc Ive made the greatest friends in this program and I doubt I would have made it without them keeping me going. The good news is I graduate September 6th!

I know what its like to obsess for sure, this has been my dream for the longest and finally its coming true! it will for u too! keep your enthusiasm because u will need it! good luck!

I know how you feel. Our school only accepts students in the spring for the fall semester. One new nursing class a year, so if you do not make it you have to wait ATLEAST another year. I have friends that are in the 100's on the waiting list at my school if that makes you feel any better :uhoh3:

When I found out that they didn't pull my name and put me on the wait list, I cried for 3 days. It's not like me to be so negative and I knew there was I chance I wouldn't get picked. I was just so disapointed. I finally called the administrator at the school and when she told me that 22 isn't too far on the list, I had some hope. Odd to feel this passionate about something. That is why I know for sure that this is what I am suppose to do. I am 38 and have never been so determined. Every day I can't wait to see if there is a message on my answering machine. I feel like I am stalking this message board. I enjoy reading all of your posts. It gives me something to look forward to evey day.

I guess 22 isn't so bad. :)

I'm not even in the pool yet and I'm obsessed. I was told today by one of the advisors to go ahead and apply for the program since I'll be taking my Anatomy and math this semester. The school I go to goes by a point system and this past fall, the students admitted had 24-42 points. Even if I make a C in math and A&P, I will have 32 points, so I've got a good chance at getting in next fall.

Getting in the program is all I think about! It's taken over my life. I know people are sick of hearing me talk about it too, but they'll just have to get over it. :rotfl:

I feel the same way. I completed one semester of the LPN program and then took a break while I had my baby. In the meantime I was accepted into a BSN program and I am obsessed with weather I should finish the LPN or do the BSN. I know I can't afford the BSN. I only have the first year paid for then my loan money runs out. If I finish the LPN I think I can get the WIA county to pay for it. So I have been asking people what do they think I should do. I think about it all the time. The LPN school was rather crowded a lot of students. The private BSN school is rather small. I think I will like that better. I am quitting my full time job in order to concentrate more on school and to get some day care assistance. I just don't know what to do. School starts in like 3 weeks. The LPN school for me would start in Jan.

I am hoping to find a nursing assistant job, so that I can get tuition reimbursement. Sorry to ramble on but that is how much I think about it too.
