For those of us that are currently waiting for our results of acceptance or denial into the Fall 2015 start for nursing school, I think we can all agree that the word "patience" is not something we have.
After a long two semesters of pre-requisites, application deadline date of April 1st, final grades posted May 9th and knowing that letters will be sent "sometime before the end of May" I'm afraid that time has officially stood still!
I don't think I've ever anticipated a piece of mail so much in my life. Not even for Christmas as a child. As one of my friends says, "Still checking my email, mailbox, and waiting for the carrier-pigeon!"
Good luck to everyone out there who applied for the Fall 2015 nursing program. May the odds be ever in your favor
aye, and I'm quite pleased by it. At least I'll know by next March whether or not I'm going to nursing school. My deepest sympathies to everyone who has to wait until May! Hoping for good news for everyone who's still biting their nails waiting to find out if they're off to school this coming fall :)
I should definitely find out by Friday so I'm very excited.
I'm thinking they'll send letters today and I'll have them tomorrow or Thursday. Friday, at the latest.
Rumor has it they've also emailed at my campus so I've got my phone out and ready!
I'm applying for Spring 2016, so I'm not where you all are just yet... I long for the days where I can eagerly and nervously hope for an acceptance letter! At this point in my process, one of the first things I do each morning is check my account to see if they've received my transcripts!! (Oh dear)
With that, I'm very thankful to be able to come on here and remember that I'm not the only one going through this. You all help me to remember that I'm not alone.

You are definitely not alone! I hope things go smoothly for you during your application process when you get there :)

This just made me realize that I brought my transcripts to an advisement session, brought them home, and now I can't think of where I filed them. Bollocks.
My school opened applications back in November and they were due by 3/4/2015. I submitted mine in February and we don't get out decisions until late July/early August!! (My school is on quarters so the program doesn't start until mid-September). I can honestly say it's driving me insane.
I think my chances are pretty good, but it's still nerve wracking, nonetheless. The average GPA/TEAS for my program is 3.63/83%, respectively. My GPA/TEAS is 3.7ish/94%, respectively. Though I still have to finish up Physiology, but I'm pretty sure I'll get an A in lab and at LEAST a B+ in lecture.
This anticipation is just crazy though, but 2-3 more months sounds a lot better than the 5-6 month wait I started out with back in Feb!
I am definitely freaking out. I am glad that I am taking a class this summer. My programs start this Fall, and I really NEED to get in. I'm done with all of my non-nursing classes, as I call them. I think everyone gets nervous and impatient. It's all natural and normal. It is easy when not in this position, to say wait and be patient. But this is our careers, basically lives, we're waiting to hear about. I won't hear until the end of June. Hopefully microbiology will keep my mind away from the waiting process!

I'm not sure what the requirements are for your school, but that is a fantastic TEAS score! And that is a pretty high average. I think my school's average is right around the national average which I think was like 60.4% or something.

I thought about taking some classes this summer, but all the ones I can take in relation to the program are all the really hard science classes and I just feel like I'll do terrible in them since they're condensed into such a small time frame.
At this point, I'm not so much nervous as I am impatient. I just want to know either way so I can stop thinking about it!
Well I say just start. You won't really know how hard something is until you at least try. I never thought I could make an A in A&P I AND II. I developed my study patterns early, and if something didn't work I tried something else. My summer classes are the same length as any other term, so it really didn't make a difference. I started one class at a time, and then added on when I could. I'm telling you, you can do this. But you have to TRY first. GO FOR IT!
I don't exactly know what her issue is with pre-nursing students being excited/nervous/anxious/impatient but it wasn't really her place to call you guys "six year-olds".
Please see if you can read more carefully. I said,
Excited is fine. I'm talking about, well, over-excited, the type that makes others roll their eyes and smile as they turn away. Perspective is all.
I was going crazy! Rushing home from work every single day to check the mail.
"Still checking my email, mailbox, and waiting for the carrier-pigeon!"
It's got my stomach in knots!
now it's all I can think about.
Come back and revisit this in a year or two. I'm not saying you'll become heartless and cold, but you will have a different perspective. Deep breath! :)Welcome to nursing!
If you can't differentiate between levels of excitement from potential nursing students waiting for their letters and a "6-year-old on Christmas", then that's a new issue entirely.
I can tell the difference. :)
Again, "excited" is fine. Just try not to look like you're totally decompensating if you want to show people how mature you are. :)
I think GrnTea's post is another example of how fine nuances of meanings and intentions are misinterpreted between the written word (like here on a social media post) and that of the spoken word (when you can hear a giggle or see a smile or a winky-wink).
I understood GrnTea's intent on her post and she actually made a disclaimer on it. I think some of you guys are just exhuberantly excited & on the edge of your seats when posting. You'll be feeling the same nail biting angst when you wait for NCLEX results (and you'll be doing that pop-up like crazy).
W-A-I-T is just another 4-letter word. (Like D-I-E-T !)
What's the saying - "good things come to he who waits"? Good luck to y'all.
And to GrnTea - you said it, my most agonizing wait was the waiting for that little test strip to change color!
