I am still here. Just taking in all the information and thoughts. For a few people, I do not really want to talk to the Dean to complain. I want an answer if it's going to affect my nursing schooling. I am happy for my friends. Hey, once you get into the program it's no longer every man for themselves. Lol. I seriously doubt that they recognized the people who complained as advocating for themselves. I'm not 100% sure whether I am going to talk to the Dean or not. I have spoken with RNs that I use to work (I worked as a CNA) with who make me confused because they say I should so the Dean is aware of the situation among the students. "Advocating for my peers." I do get how I came off in my initial post as just wanting to start trouble about it. My apologies that wasn't the intent. I was upset over the situation. My friends who didn't get in made me feel like I should have been guilty because I did get in and all of a sudden I'm suppose to be okay. Nursing school should be something where all students can support each other. We have a divided class. I'm appalled at the bullying that is going on between Nursing students over this situation and I feel something needs to be addressed. Does that make sense? I feel like I'm rambling?

back in february, the pre-nursing students were sent a notification whether they were accepted into the nursing program or not. 80-90 students were accepted (i don't remember the exact number) and i was one of them. the majority of my 'friends' that were up for evaluation with me were rejected from the program. (you'll see soon why this is important.) after students had been rejected, there were roughly 30-40 students who complained, cried, and ******* to the dean of nursing that they did not deserve to be rejected from the program. i completely understand the whirlwind of emotions that comes with a rejection letter, so in a way i do understand their response, however, they handled it immaturely. one girl even went as far as bringing her mother in to talk to the dean of nursing for her. now, last week 30-40 students received letters from the dean of nursing saying that they now had been accepted into the program. the president of the school did not like the complaints being filed against the school, so he pretty much made it so anyone that met the criteria, and complained against the school for rejection was now to be in the program. all of these students, including my friends, are super happy and i am happy for them by all means. however, in my opinion this is not fair. would you agree? i mean, you get rejected and it sucks, but you only get in because you file complaints against the school? how can you look yourself in the mirror and truly think i deserved this letter? some of the students that have now been accepted into the program include those with a 2.8 gpa, and teas scores way below what should be acceptable. i have a meeting with the dean of nursing this week, and i just feel like i have been slapped in the face. my meeting is mostly to get this off my chest. i know nothing can be done, and i don't want anyone to lose their chance. maybe i shouldn't have tried as hard as i have to get in if all i had to do was complain about it. i have a 3.9 gpa, every science class i have taken i have earned an 'a,' and my teas scores were high 80s-90s. i'm not the only student that is extremely upset with the circumstances and now all my friends are mad at me because i disagree with the way they got into the program (this is why my earlier statement is important). do you agree? is this fair? what would you do?
