Published

I think its because I fear getting a B in my current class which will make my science gpa 3.0. *SIGH* I wanna be a nurse so bad but im starting to feel like im too stupid to get into a program. Its all very hurtful. I stayed up till 4 am last night, I couldn't sleep, I was just thinking about not getting in. Its pathetic because I could have been studying. I don't think I did bad on the last test but I left out a lot of info (now that I think about it) on an essay question. I really needed an A on this last test because the first test I got 77% : ( so the more I think about it I think maybe I think I did well on

the test but what if I really failed it.

Im so stressed out about nursing school but also among other things. I just wanna be a nurse!!

Is anyone else this stressed out over this or am I going crazy. This is my last prerrq semester btw. And I live in Ca so a lot of ppl and lots of competition.

I live in CA too. There are quite a few schools that have wait list/lottery programs as well. They only require a 2.5. My greatest advice is not to stress yourself out so much. You'll end up doing worse in your class and it's not worth it. You'll get in to a program, just take a deep breath and enjoy your pre nursing courses.

Specializes in Emergency.

Honestly, I would steer clear of those community colleges that have lotteries. They are associates degrees and the likelihood of someone getting into those programs is like, one out of several thousands. LOL.

Where in California are you?

The lottery in my town gives you a spot if you haven't gotten in after so many tries. If she can't get into a bsn program, it could be a very good option. I've known tons of nurses that went to community colleges, and they're just as good of nurses. There's always step up programs too.

I so understand how you feel right now! This whole process is like going up a robust waterfall. I am taking statistics right now (my last prerequisite) and we are headed for our second exam. I am nervous for this exam because I received a 76% on the first exam and statistics is hard. I am stressed just trying to keep my grades up so I can stand a chance of getting accepted. I transferred from San Diego California to Arizona because S.D is too saturated with new grad nurses.

Ugh Im making myself sick.This is crazy lol. Once again I could be studying but on this site smh. Im trying to look at schools to transfer to and that in itself is stressful. Because there is of course a few different courses required to apply, and you have to apply to school, then nursing school. I would apply everywhere in the U.S. (if it was so easy, and cheap) but I am a single mom to a baby so it probably would be too hard moving, going to nursing school (God willing) with no support system. I hope us stressed out students get into someones program, soon!

See I think I am even more so stressed out about not being able to get into a nursing program the first round of schools I apply. It makes me ill thinking about applying 3 or 4 times and not getting in, and I hear it on here all the time. However, I wanna be a nurse so bad I could not "settle" for anything else. I will def try ADN as well as BSN programs, point systems as well as lottery, shoot ill even try wait list schools. I just feel like I could have been done with school (I am 21) and am feeling a bit like a loser and as I said I have a baby so really need to be on the roll with schooling. Thank you all for commenting it is much appreciated.

I know EXACTLY how you feel. I am going to be taking my TEAS V test December 14th, apply to n.s. (at about 3 difft CCs) at the end of January. Right now I am taking an elective class and a Biology concept class just to raise my GPA. My couselor said if I get an A in this Bio class I will have a GPA of 3.46 for the classes needed for the ADN program. He said most students have a 3.5 so I am really nervous and anxious. I got As in my a&p classes, but I am so nervous about the TEAS exam. I cannot sleep at night either, not to mention I have been working extra shifts (NOCs at that). But I am determined as I am sure you are so we should be fine!!! Good luck and happy studying!!! ;):nurse::nailbiting:
