I'm so fustrated that I just can't factor a reason for this. I called UCHSC once about it but was told the they received so much application and that thus made the selection a little competitive. I have done all my possible best to get into this program...like I said before, I don't know what to do and regret not going for the LPN program at first. Now because of the waiting list, LPN program will take me another 18 months to get into. If anybody have an advice for me, I will appreciate it.

It is with heavy heart that I am posting this. I am native of Nigeria but a legal residence of Colorado. I moved into Colorado in January 2007, after which I have been blessed with my wife and a set of twins. Since then life has been really difficult. As a bachelor degree holder in Economics from Nigeria I could not secure a reputable job with my qualification. I decided to go back into school and get myself re-educated. I thus changed my career to nursing and set a goal at bagging a degree in nursing. I opted for a special nursing program designed for people like me with a bachelor degree in a non-related course. Going to school for my prerequisites and working full time with my two daughters was the most difficult task I ever undertook in my life. Relentlessly, I pursued all my prerequisites and had the required ten of them in A's. Having gotten all my required prerequisite, I set out and applied with University of Colorado and Health Science Center but was turned down for no reason. Followed up by applying in Regis University, but was met with same fate. I can't finish counting my losses. I have sacrificed valuable time that could have been spent with my kids in making sure I excelled in all my classes. I have expended so much money over the last eighteen months for all these classes. The schools applauded my application only to turn it down after my interview. I strongly believe I get turned down because of my accent. But has anybody ever sat down and realize the fact that "if I have an accent to you, it means you automatically have an accent to me too". Merit has given way for accent in the days where knowledge rules the world. I have been working as a customer representative on the phone for the past two years with Staples and never had an issue with any customer about not understanding what I'm saying. It is very important for our society to be aware that global competitiveness should be cushioned with cultural tolerance. I feel so depressed about this, and presently at a point where I really don't know what to do but ask the question: Is our land of opportunity turning to graveyard of dreams?
