I got a rejection letter today and i was shocked. I couln't believe it. I have been crying the whole day kuz I really need and wanted this Scholarship. I have a two year old daughter, I have no money at all, I can't even afford a car so my UNEMPLOYED father drives me to school and doctors appointments. and I LIVE in Miami! I have lived next to Baptist Hospital my whole life, I was born there. I have researched the hospital back and forth and can name every year they won magnet excellence in Nursing. They know I wanted to be near my daughter while I was studying and now I have to go every day to ft.lauderdale which just takes extra time away from me being with her. I raised her, no one helped me. This is not fair. I was in the interview with people who recently changed there professions because they thought nursing will give them more money. who cares about the money? I DONT. I could care less about the money. All I want is to be a floor nurse in Baptist hospital and make the patients feel better about their situations. I have been in countless hospitals for an injury or cold, or pregnancy and 75% of the nurses made me feel horribel, were impatient, and did not act like they cared for my situation. I WANT TO CHANGE THAT! I didnt even choose to be a doctor kuz I feel like they dont have enough time to get to know the patients. I truly care! I've been there and want to be the one to help everyone that I can both physically and emotionally.And people complain about having to deal w/ the families of the patients. umm, duh! you have to treat the families w/ the ultimate respect because they are worried. they deserve to be talked to and treated well. I know that I would have been a perfect nurse at Baptist Hospital. I know countless doctors there that are friends of the family and one is my uncle. They all said I really deserved the scholarship and contract and to be near my daughter. My advice to people is to be firm in the interview, not nervous, and be prepared for everything you will say! I was not kuz I was about to cry kuz of how much I needed this. I was very nervous and soft spoken. Maybe they will give it to someone who actually has the money to afford their school, thats a waste of a scholarship. if you deserve it and truly need the help let them know.
