Hi guys-

AS some of you know through another post i wrote, due to an error on my part, i originally was pretty much garunteed admittance to the fall smester of nursing. Well the day i found out i had only 64 points instead of 93(my school usually admits right around 70 points). i was immediately dissapointed but after a few minutes i felt this release. I want to go into nursing SO bad and i'm really excited but does anyone think its a bad sign that i was releived that i probably wouldn't get in in the fall? I know im nervous about failing but ive never heard anyone say they were kinda glad they weren't getting in when they applied.

Hmmm....are you sure that they way you were feeling was directly linked to the idea of starting nursing school in the fall, or could it been tied up with some other concern? I don't even know if that makes sense, lol! Maybe, like for me, if I found out I wasn't accepted for the fall, it would mean I could work on some non-nursing courses that I will need for my BSN instead and that I won't have to put my 2 boys in daycare full time which is $$$$$! I would be dissappointed that I wasn't starting school, but relieved that I don't have to worry about heavy work loads and even heavier financial strains for another 6 months.
