I did not STALK ANYONE!

I did not stalk the mail-man. Six months ago I went to the mailbox every single day for a month and there was no letter. By the time I received a letter, I was told I was not selected for the class that begins August 2006. Plus I would be "re-evaluated" with 100 other qualified applicants in the Fall for the class that begins January of 2007 (only 40 spots available, 30 of which go to the re-evaluated people). :stone

This morning I went to the mailbox to pick up the mail. It was collecting in my box for a week or two (I honestly forget)! To my surprise my letter was also in the box with a postmark of last week. :smackingf

My letter is also thin like the last time. :uhoh21: So I slowly opened it and read....

"Congratulations! I am pleased to inform you that you have been selected .........." This means I AM A STUDENT NURSE!!! :monkeydance:

Unbelievable!!!! I am so excited!!! :barf02: :biggringi :balloons:

Good luck to EVERYONE!!! If you do not get in this time, DO NOT give up!!!

Congrats!! Write yourself a note describing how excited and happy you are now so that you can read it during a particularly trying moment in school. Good luck!

Thank you!! I am framing my acceptance letter and hanging it on the wall near my PC. The note suggestion is a very good idea too!

I know my journey is going to be long and arduous. So, putting a post-it in my wallet, PDA, laptop, and inside books I have to lug around as a reminder should help me. Especially when I have to live through some of the bad days ahead! :wink2:

GREAT NEWS!!!

I'm glad you didn't stalk the mailman.

I usually just stand by the mailbox with my arms crossed and tap my foot. Then I stare at my watch and shake my head when the mailman arrives.

Congrats! I think stalking the mailmen in these situations should be considered legally justified! :wink2:
