Hello Mystiqx,

I hope you know we are all sending best wishes and crossing our fingers that you get in. Your allnurses friends have appreciated your support and we want to return the favor. Hang in there. I am sorry you have had a rough day. It will get better and maybe you will have some good news on returning home.

Take care,

Jean

Mistiqx, I had no idea you hadn't heard back from them yet! That's got to be stressful. Don't let it get the best of you. You will be a nurse and you will look back on these times and think, "gosh I remember when I was so worried that I didn't hear from them and now I am up to my armpits in studying and haven't slept for 4 days!!" Are you able to call them? I had an issue with the BoN saying they hadn't received my fingerprints for my CNA certification that I wanted to put towards my application. The CNA cert gives me an advantage in my application and I have spent $1500 on everything for that class. When they sent me the letter saying that they hadn't received them, I realized that my money went down the drain and I probably wouldn't get accepted. They had no phone number to call and we are encouraged not to call for something like fingerprints. Well I googled and found numbers and called around and turns out I got everything cleared up. If you can call them, do it. Even if they have to tell you another date to call back or something, it may give you a temporary piece of mind. I hope everything works out. I still won't know about my acceptance until June/July and I am already in pins and needles, so I can imagine how you feel. Cheer up. Pat yourself on the back for making it this far already and see the positive in your future. Good luck hun.

mystiqx...we are still hanging in there with you. Hopefully you will get that call or letter so you can keep moving forward. Please don't give up you have the heart and that speaks volumes for the type of nurse you will be someday!

Are you able to call them? I just talked to the health advisor at my school today to ask when they start informing people of acceptance and he said july. I told him I may be going to Hawaii in July and he suggested that I should call the last week of June to see if the selections were made and ask when they would know if they didn't at the time and to keep calling back until they did know. I know it sounds pushy but don't even sweat it. Give them a call, even if it's anonymous just to ask where everybody is in the process.

Guys thanks so much for the support, it means a lot too me.

DesertRain, I called them last week tuesday, and the lady (who took a bit to find my info) she was so nice to me, and she was so sympathetic on the phone, she said they had all my info and the adcom didn't make a decision yet, and it was going to take a little longer and too hang in there. In another post in the NY forum someone who got accepted and turned down said something that I also suspected, she said they go by highest NLN score first and work their way down. SO if you decine to attend they take the next person in line. I got an 85% on the NLN and I applied super-duper early (which I sorta regretted at first) but maybe it will still work in my favor, who knows. As you guys know I was really upset at my NLN score but maybe it will be still considered. I'm going to give it this week and call again next week. I hate calling so much cause I don't want to bother them, and I feel like I hear the same story over and over again; but like you I am going to Barcelona Spain at the end of the month I didn't expect I would still be waiting to hear from them by now.

starbabyfive: thank you for your kind words, there are some days where I get so fearful that if I do get accepted I'll fail miserably, so thank you.

This is a tough situation thats just going to get tougher.

Kare, no news is definately good news. Like you I know of people who already got their interviews and were accepted. Maybe your school has some sort of internal waiting list and they are working their way down it. (I think thats what the school I applied too is doing) Hang in there, it'll be ok, good things are well worth the wait you know.

I've been distracting myself by reading SEVERAL novels lol. I read 6 in 5 days.

Good Luck Kare, hopefully the torture will be over soon.
