I think it was around 58 points which is...not amazing out of 70 when it is so competitive. I have completed Nutrition and Communication though so I'm hoping those will help if there's a chance of a tie.

Hello! I applied but my application wasn't the strongest it could have been, especially now that there's no essay, recommendation or points for AAS, BA, etc. Still hopeful for sure and working as an MA in the meantime. Dang! Feb 26th?! I was hoping we would find out sooner. Best of luck to you!

Hello! Apologies in advance for possible ramblings but I am looking for advice with nursing as a career choice related to stress and trauma. I have a child and need to make a decent amount of money but still care about what I do every day. I work in customer service now but have been teaching myself web development and created a site. I have applied to dozens of jobs but I am afraid the market is over-saturated and I am not qualified. Here's where nursing comes in. It has been my "plan B" for far too long and I have started applications to it in the past multiple times. The thought of going to school full time again though has been daunting (it's too much to ask my partner to handle my bills solo). Whenever I have thought of a new career choice it has always involved helping someone (cliche), staying busy, feeling productive (vet tech, vet, farmer, nurse, etc). Coding would allow me to make more money and use a skill I have learned but I don't know if it would fulfill these other requirements for me (if I can even land a job). With nursing, I feel like it would but my partner is worried about a few things: Schedule (never seeing each other during school and work) Stress - this is the big one. I have some anxiety, am highly sensitive and INFJ. I had nightmares after seeing a motorcycle accident where the motorist was thrown off an overpass. I worry about hurting people (their feelings or physically in the case of nursing). He's afraid this job could be too much for me - that I would burnout after spending the time and money and that I would hate it. That I couldn't unsee something traumatic. Do any of you have input on this or advice on how you handle days where you lose patients or work in stressful areas (specialties involving children, burn victims, etc)? Thank you
