Pre-Nursing "Support" Group

Published

I thought I would make a thread dedicated to all of us waiting for an Acceptance letter, NET results, or even for those of you who are done waiting....getting ready to start up NS soon! Let's all band together and support one another in these stressful times~ no one understands us better than each other! Go future nurses!!!! :yeah::nurse:

I received my acceptance letter today!!! I am so excited

Yeah for you!

Today I got a letter from one of the ADN lottery school nursing depts. I tore into it like crazy. All it said was that eligible applicants' ID numbers will be posted on some door on Wednesday and those chosen for lottery will have their IDs posted on May 1 at 5 pm. What is this? The results of the auditions for a high school play or volleyball try-out? Can they not send a letter, email or make a call? Lame. I really don't feel like trudging out there (it is across a toll bridge and several towns away) during commute time to check the door like I am in 10th grade or something. Especially if I am one of 400+.

At least I will know about that school in a couple weeks. Probably a month away from any hope of finding out about the BSN program, and 6 months away from finding out about the other ADN programs. Sigh.

Good for you though, that is great news.

Oh my gosh, you've gotta be kidding me! Yeah....sounds like your gonna find out if you made cheerleader!!

That is about as lame as I've heard, besides sounding dark ages. I even think "letters" are dark ages. I"m surprised they don't just email you.

hang in there.

??? how weird! It isn't like they saved on postage by doing it that way, they sent out all the letters telling you about it!!!

I take the NET Monday and then I apply at the end of May. Who knows how long it will take before they let us know.

I am not a good wait-er.

I received my acceptance letter today!!! I am so excited. Congrats to everyone that has gotten in and good luck to those who are still waiting(stay positive). :clpty:

Congrats to you! Be proud of yourself-go out and celebrate tonight!!! You deserve it! Thanks for updating us! :) My Accelerated BSN program starts in three weeks...I cannot believe how fast the time is going by...it is beyond crazy/exciting for me! So brace yourself, the time will FLY by now that you know you're in (but all that time it took to find out felt like it only crept by! haha)

I'm a late comer to this thread, but I'll post anyway...

Congratulations to all who have received their acceptance letters! How exciting for all of you!!

I have applied for the ASN program at three local CC's and to the BSN program at CSUS. When I put my application in at one CC I was number 667, and there were still three days left for applications to be submitted. At another CC, on the last day of submissions, I was number 700-and-something. I think my best chance of getting into NS will be at the University. My GPA is high and I did very well on the TEAS test. I don't dare be too confident, though, otherwise I'd be that much more disappointed if I don't get in. As a 43-year-old single mother of two, I'm anxious to get into school so I can get back out again and get to work. I'm trying to too worry too much, but everytime I think about getting acceptance/rejection letters my stomach gets all tied in a knot!

Best wishes to all!!!

Hi Hotflashn,

Looks like you applied to LMC also. Tell me if I'm wrong. I just got home and tore that letter open to find out the same thing. They did the same thing last year also. Only diff. is that it the process occured closer to June, which is a very long time to find out if you're in or out. I already applied 2 times prior to this and it is now my third time. Hopefully, three is the lucky charm. Good luck to you too. See you at the doors if you go. I never really plan to go because I assume you are on the list of eligiblity if 1: we get that letter and 2: we got that first letter telling us our status when we sent out the applications. But I always fool myself into thinking I better check just to make sure I'm still listed... So we'll see again this year as to what happens. :uhoh3:

I hope that LMC sends out a letter to those accepted because it would probably cost me $20 in gas and $5 at the bay bridge to go check!

I knew it was you when I saw in my email that "bath" had replied to the message! I was wondering how your test went, and what was going on, but didn't want to ask just in case it didn't go as well as you would have hoped... ;) I told a bunch of people, "if i never mention it again... don't mention it." LMAO!!!

LOL

Don't feel bad. I have to wait so long to even apply, that by THAT time I will be approaching another birthday, which means when I graduate I'll be darn near 50!!

OH well, I always did say I could be a professional student. My kids are all in college ( one has been out a year, one graduates next year, one just entered her freshman year in college) and then I have one more to herd through who is a freshman in HS.

My oldest graduated from Miami University here in OHio, and just took her gmat to try to get into a Masters program for her Business/Marketing, so we have been kind of in the same boat the last 6 weeks studying for entrance exams..in a way.

It's so fun to have kids that are behind you, rooting for you, who wants to see their mom succeed. The first time around, my oldest was very bitter that I went back to school and then had my first job when she was 15. She hated that she felt she wasn't the center of my world anymore. SHe didn't understand that she would always be the center of my world, but Mommy felt a need to do things too. she is so glad I did, because now she's see's that everyone is leaving home...and it's comforting to her that Mom has something else to fall back on. Not only my job in surgery, but they love it that I'm going back to learn right along with THEM.

Didn't mean to rant, but waiting, and the ulcers and everything it's so small in the grand scheme of things..because I went back so late and I would still be this age even if I never went back and did anything! I'm so glad I did and one day you will all look back and go..."What was all the fuss about?"

I know I'll never convince any of you of this, but this journey to "getting there" is the most fun and fulfilling you will ever know.
