OMG! I got accepted. WOOOhooooo!!! I had been timing the mail man and couldnt wait to have him sort through the mail and stick them in the box. So I asked him to just hand in mine. He kept picking through the small white mail until finally he came through a big yellow envelope. And YES! it was finally here.

Yesterday when I checked my mail, my tummy was all in turmoil and my heart so heavy. But when there was nothing from SU, believe me I was sooooo happy. I dont think if I could have taken a rejection yesterday but now I have an extra day to prepare myself for a rejection. This way it wont hurt that much when it happens. (What happened to my optimism, right?) lol.

llexi88, from what I read, you show dedication and hard work. If I were one of the reviewers, I would definitely get you in. I think nursing is about hardwork, dedication, passion and you show all these qualities. I would like to say that I am pretty sure you would get in. I also like to be optimistic and add that I hope we all get in :).

Hey everyone? Congrats armynurse68. I like the way you expressed yourself coz it just got me thinking that I too would be very much humbled if I get accepted at Seattle U. Well I checked my mailbox this morning too. Good news is that I got a sweet15 free drink from starbucks :) ...... I dont want to say that there is a bad news coz I haven't received any news from Seattle U, so I will leave it as an unknown news. Good luck to everyone.

Kasko; That was really impressive for a runningstart student. You have done amazingly for a highschool student. You show dedication, intensity and smart character all desirable for RN. Keep it up and congratulations. If you applied to other schools, dont be suprised if they all accept you into their programs. You show a promising future. Keep it up and all the best. :)

Congratulations! Kasko, tell us more. That was really fast. I called them the day before to update my phone number and asked about the date to expect the result and she said end of march-early april. If u dont mind me asking, how was ur GPA and did u have any work/volunteer experience?

lovedogs31 how r u holding up? I am a nervous reck lol. No matter how many times i tell myself that it will be okay i still worry. I check my status every week and visit this site almost everyday. Arrrgggghhh! I keep reading your's and LEKA RN's post and it gives me hope. Like she said, we need just that one opportunity to get our foot in and after that I believe we can be great students and nurses :):):). Good luck.

thank you lovedogs31. i have been to su and it’s really beautiful and if there is one best thing among many that su has and which i love about is their kind, professional and supportive attitude which by far surpasses any other school that i had to call about their program. they not only answer our questions and worries but they also really care, which i felt after talking to them. su is giving me hope which is also a bit scary because its either i will faint with happiness if they accept or cry if they don’t. lol. i have also looked at their programs and have seen a lot of active community programs. i wish that i could be a part of it too someday. i wish us all they very best. i too can’t wait for next month. i try to focus on other things so that i don’t get myself too anxious. j

NB/ i have also applied to other schools but for some unexplainable feeling, my heart really wants to get in to the BSN program at SU. :/

Thank you lovedogs31 for the kind support. I too think i have over obsessed with my application. I had called and spoke to one of the counslors who advised me that there is nothing i can do other than may be email them with an official update on the re-take. So i did that. I promised myself that today would be the last time i will worry about my application or call the SU with questions. I know they are busy and i dont think its fair for them or me to plague them with questions. I think so too that lately i have been way too anxious and its not healthy. The class that i am repeating is general psychology. The funny part is that i took lifespan psychology only once and i got B+ on that. My other pre-reqs were greatly done with mostly A's and B's. The psych 100, brought my GPA really low....so i really dont know. And to answer your question, yes i have had atlest 1 year volunteer work done at UW med center, then worked as a cna later on. That is why i have very little hope but like you said i will stay positive. A word of advice to all of us...lets stay healthy by not obsessing over our application. The answer is either yes or no. If its a no, then that only means that we still have another chance to try again. Good luck to al of us.

I have been keeping track with all the postings and afraid to participate because I just dont want to say it didnt happen for me a month from now. I am apprehensive as all of you are but more so than some of you because i havent had any impressive grades. I always like to be optimistic but this time? I am so very unsure. My overall grade is not as impressive and my pre-req is at a 3.4. Worse part is that i am re-taking one of the pre-req which i failed miserably.The only thing going good for me is knwowing that i have had 3 years experience in the health field and a certified registered cna. AHHHH....sorry, i really dont want to sound so depressed but all i can say is that part of me is still hopefull. Lets keep each othe updated. My online status says that my application is complete and is being reviewed etc. Waiting...just waiting....
