Also the way I'm saying congrats to everyone else...it's like 27 dresses...WHEN IS IT GOING TO BE MYYYYY TURN lol

Wow when I posted that I didn't even see jiwonkim89's post! Congrats!!! I am so proud of you guys! It's nice to be around successful people! If I don't hear tomorrow I think I just might burst from anxiety. At this point I just want to hear A decision...it's so hard waiting! haha Like jiwonkim89 said though...one more day!

Congrats cnd29! I know how stressed you were...I'm really glad you got to know. Its really good to see people from this thread get accepted. Almost seems like they got all the BSN/MSN applicants! Here's to hoping for more good news.

YAYYYY big congrats to you! Nice to hear especially with all your hopes.

I did as well. I was wondering the same thing about the applications. I'm just going to be patient and give it some time.

I loved that video haha Girrrrrrllllllll don't get me STARTED on makeup lol! But seriously Laura Mercier tinted moisturizer is the best I would say (also expensive-$42!). There is Clinique, it's called Almost Makeup and Sephora brand has a nice tinted moisturizer too. I just like the way Laura Mercier tinted moisturizer feels. I asked my friend what I should do for my anxiety and he said to do 10 pushups and every time I come up I should say 'I am awesome.' I think I'm getting made fun of here...

I get that. Mine was more 'I'm helping people but I want to be hands on'. Go to the open house. I went to one in October(?) and it was really good. I liked meeting the students and getting a feel for the college. I think you should be okay for the January 15 deadline because you are applying Fall Entry right? I'm pretty sure that's the deadline for you. I think I've had like 20 cookies so far. I don't even know why I'm so anxious! I think waiting just drives me insane. I mean I really would be happy to get in but not super crushed if I didn't. I was just 'googling' Johns Hopkins and laughed so hard at what I found on urbandictionary.com 'Johns Hopkins is like unprotected sex. You're happy you got in but sad when you came.' :dncgbby:

Also I remembered this because I have to be at Sephora tomorrow at 7 a.m.! I work part time at Sephora and am currently volunteering as co-director with an organization called Activists for Women's Health. So when I'm not writing about women's health and freaking out about nursing school, I apply makeup to those who visit Sephora! I do love the sound of the piano. How was the recital?

Also this made me feel better!

I wonder if there have been any rejections... Gosh I was doing so well not being anxious but this forum makes it hard to relax! It is a source of comfort but a source of panic as well.

I'm wondering in what order are they calling people in too? Is it the date of application received or by last name... Anyone else going to call JHU after December 15th if they hadn't been notified yet?

I was expecting this as well! Any who, I'm really happy to hear about your acceptance. It's good to know SOMETHING is going on. Oooo, from FL to Baltimore...that is super interesting! Get used to the snow

Congrats aedeunger! I was hoping someone would come in with an acceptance! I'm really happy for you. What was the phone call like? Also where are you from?

First, I would like to applaud your post. I have wanted to be a nurse since high school but ever since I have mentioned the profession, my parents have shown great disdain for it. From telling me that it is a dirty job to how disrespected you get as a nurse, they have always tried to dissuade me! However... When my mom had food poisoning, I was there. When my dad got his pacemaker put in, I spent the night. I do not have to defend my passion for nursing to them anymore. It's funny because it was never the long shifts or the contact with bodily fluids that would deter me. It was witnessing suffering or death. Many times when I would see it on the news or through my parents I would get so stressed and upset. Something I've realized, though, is that if you want to help people you will see suffering and may experience death. I've finally accepted (what was to me) the hardest part of the job. As I pursue nursing, I can only hope to have as many years of experience as you do and to pick up the half of the wisdom you have.

Wow no one has found out yet? Guess they are doing this really late this year.
