Cperry, Have you considered applying to the LPN programs also? Both programs are competitive but if you get into to one then you can always bridge into the RN. Something to think about, when I started this process I thought I would be disappointed if I got LPN. However, getting the LPN acceptance letter was very exciting. I just want to be a nurse and this is just the path that I need to take. Keep your head up! :hug: Sorry that you got the denail letters that stinks.
