Following! I want to be an L&D nurse. I've a tried doula, and have attended 8 births, and am trying to figure out what else I need to do to help make myself better looking to future employers.

Thank you for the encouragement. Most days I have a very positive attitude towards my future career. I know what I ulimately want to do in nursing (L&D), and have worked in that field as a doula. Sometimes the weight of the true respponsiblity hits me though, or the knowledge that I will see truly terrible things that the majority in my life won't be able to handle me unlouding on them, and I wonder if I can with stand carrying it all. I'm a rather silver lining type person. Comments like this remind me that I won't be in it alone, that I'll have fellow nurse that will understand and be there for me when I see negative out comes.

Am I the only one that reads post on here and sometimes thinks 'oh man, am I really cut out for this?!?!" ...Yes? Oh okay. Excuse me while I go sit in a corner and give myself a pep talk.

I got accepted into my program! They making changes to the department so I won't be starting until January, but still I got in!

Ha, just saw it. Thanks!

How do we join? I can't find the group.

Step424real, I'm sorry! Hopefully tomorrow! Welcome and congratulations nursecrysnic! I was actually gonna suggest something like that as well, im glad you went ahead and did it.

Don't go after a degree you don't really want. I graduated high school knowing I wanted to be a nurse, but didn't think I was smart enough so I spent 3 and a half years working on a history degree only two be put on probation and the suspension. I took 4 years off and went back for nursing. Those four years gave me the chance to mature, figure out a lot about myself, and be in a life position to where when I went back I'd be successful. My advice would be to focus on yourself for a bit, get healthy, and then maybe revisit nursing. Maybe it'll be something you want, and maybe you'll find a different passion along the way!

I got into evening. Congrats again to everyone who got in, and good luck to all still waiting!

I got in!!!!!! Can't wait to meet you all in October!

This might be the biggest test of patience I've ever had, and I've had a natural labor...

2.5 hours til I'll know! Thank God dinner time and bed time routine will help speed that by.

Charliebarlie, I'm a stay at home mommy of two girls that are 3 and 18 months My job calls for a lot of patience, and all that patience is being tested right now!! I think the next 4 hours and 15 minutes will probably be harder than actually waiting for the letter to come in:dead:

My letters here!!!!!! Now for the next 6 ish hours to pass until my husband is home!

My mail either is running late or I didn't get my letter today. Someone up the street has a flag up, so I'm hoping that means it just hasn't run yet.

Congratulations!

My mail doesn't run until around 1:30, so I've still got at least another 3 hours until it gets here. However, I want my husband to be home when I open it and he won't be home until around 8 tonight. Sooooooo I've still got forever.

I'm in Harvest too. I wish I had never let myself start believing that it'd come before Wednesday.

Yay!! Evening, right? What was your application point?

Hc278, maybe look into being a nanny for younger school aged kids?

Congratulations! Do you mind sharing what your application points were?

In all the posts I've read all the letters both acceptance and regection come in just a normal envelope

Mail just ran, no letter.

I'm so sorry hc278, that sucks!

I think it's everyone over the cut off gets sent to admission for gpa, then after gpa anyone who qualifies they look at t land the top people get picked. So like if there were two people who had the same gpa, but one had a teas score of 107.2 and the other has a score of 107.3 they pick the high point person, if that makes sense.
