I'm so sorry to hear your news. I can only imagine how devastated you must be feeling right now. Applying to nursing school and waiting for 'the letter' can be very stressful and you have every right to feel the way you do right now.

"We work hard on our pre-reqs, we study long and hard, we worry are we doing enough, we worry are we doing it correctly, we worry about are we going to remember the stuff we are learning, we self-doubt ourselves and our decisions, we pass our classes, we apply to nursing school, we take the entrance test, we send in our transcripts, we hope and pray and wish that, that one school will notice us and let us in, and then we get the letter. Sometimes the letter is good or sometimes its bad. Whatever the letter says, determines our fate. Are we in or are we out? This is difficult. We want something SO badly that it hurts. We just want a chance..."

I remember feeling this way and I can definitely understand how you feel. Let your emotions and feelings OUT, get it out of your system. Then, clear your head. Re-focus your thinking and try to stay positive. You're doing the right thing by giving it another chance. Because, if you TRULY want this you will make it happen. Things we truly want sometimes never come easily.

You mentioned you're retaking the nursing entrance exam again in a month. You at least know from experience of what to expect on the exam. Make studying for that test your priority and do whatever else is necessary for your school admissions. Keep your chin up and believe in yourself and do what you gotta do to make it happen. Its not the end, only a bump in the road. Don't give up.

Good luck to you. :)

I am praying for you!! (BIG HUG) I am so sorry this happened to you, I can imagine how crushed you must feel right now (I would be too! I haven't started applying yet...but I know what it feels like to want something SO bad and to work SO hard and not get it :sniff: ). Hang in there!!! What can you do now? You already mentioned studying for that test. Are there other schools you can apply to? If you had to could you work and save some money in the mean time? (I know that isn't probably what you want to hear, I've been trying to get into a program as soon as possible and someone on this site reminded me this is not a "sprint", it is a marathon...but most days lately it's felt like a crawl!!!) You can do this. If you want it bad enough, just keep on keeping on and when you get into that program or another program (and not if you get in, when!) it will be that much more rewarding knowing that all your hard work paid off and will just reaffirm how much you are meant to do this :nurse:
