Hi,

I've been on a waiting list for the RN program at my community college for over a year now. Last year after applying, I called the nursing offices to inquire about my application status to which a couple of people actually told me I'll definitely get in (one woman even told me that she thought she rememberred seeing my name on an entry list). Turns out I was put on a priority list. I've applied to only one other college to which I've barely met the minimum requirements. I've reapplied to the community college, and will hear back from them by this July. I've been so discouraged b/c I've met people who have been on the wait list for 2 and 3 years. I called the nursing offices again to inquire about my application but this time they wouldn't tell me anything except that it's first come first serve (I guess even more people have applied this time). This is the only profession I've entered so far and I'm in my mid 20's so that makes me old. I know other people have been far more patient than I have, but I feel time is bogging me down as I had planned to have a family by now, but the fact that I'm not out of school has made me put off those things for later. I wanted to be able to help my husband financially, but he's been paying for my schooling for over the last three years and still I have no guarantee of entrance into a program. I know I'm not the only one in this situation and would like to hear from other nursing students or RN's who have been put on a waitlist and actually got into their programs. I am looking into other programs in the area, but am also wondering if I should look into another profession altogether.

Don't worry about your GPA or the board or anything else because it is what it is and you cannot change that! You are one step closer to realizing your dream. Take time to Praise God and thank him about it and how faith for the rest, never put a question mark where God puts a period, you will be fine, and you ARE IN!!! Believe that with all your heart, don't let anything negative creep in. U GOT THIS!!!!!!!! CONGRATULATIONS!
