Hey guys! So the nursing world (at least mine) has been very trying lately. Have you ever gone back to find something that reminds you of the time you were accepted in to nursing school to help remind you of how excited you were? I just searched back to one of my early posts here on the site where I posted that I was accepted... I got goose bumps all over again :) Silly I know, but I can't be the only one!

I cant wait until i am able to say that. I just sent in my Transition paperwork for LVN to RN. I think I am more nervous waiting to see if I get accepted than I was taking the HESI. I really hope I get in!!!

I'm finishing up the last semester of nursing school and with all of the stress of passing my last round of clinicals and finding a job, I needed a reminder of the excitement I had when I first found out I had been accepted to NS. I was

I am still waiting for that moment myself, and yes, I do worry about the state of the economy, and all the stress that I know will greet me once I hit the floor for the first time.

I have been a registered nurse for almost 12 years and can remember the very second I heard that on the phone "Classification: RN" I just had goose bumps from just remembering that now!

When I start to wonder what I was smoking when I decided to become a nurse I think back more years than I like to the two summers I spent with a wheat harvest crew or the uplifting period I spent roughnecking.

I just got excepted to nursing school and the feeling is trully amazing...and i will totally remember to look back to my posts when times get tough! Thanks for the idea....not that I could forget but just in case this is what i did. After stalking my mail man daily, i emailed addmisions from my school friday the 12th just wondering if they had an idea of when letters would be going out. They got back to me and said i would know in a few days...my heart did a little flip lol! Saturday the 13th, i went out with my family not thinking about the mail because I knew i had a few days. Well I got home saturday night and grabbed the mail...and thier it was my letter of acceptance!! I freaked out and cried and asked my husband to take the kids in the house and I ran with all my heart in the pouring rain down the street to my inlaws (they are like my biggest supporters) When i got there my letter was drenched and i had dropped a piece of paper somewhere on the way...I also noticed that i ran with a full bag of can goods i had bought at the grocery store but forgot to put down over the excitement. It was pretty funny...but what an amazing feeling!

Where did you get accepted expharmagirl??
