Well, I finally got my letter on Friday. I was not accepted to the nursing program at UNC-- Northern Colorado. I knew the moment I saw the letter and hadn't yet received a phone call (all the people who got in got calls).
So I cried for about a half hour while I formed plan B. So now once this semester is over, all my pre-reqs are done. I have a meeting this Friday with UNC to see where they believe I fell short so that I can work on that. Once this semester is over, I'll begin working 4- 10's at my FT job. I'll get a job at a nursing home, or possibly the other hospital as a CNA for 1-2 days/week for 2-3 weeks of the month. And I'll take my dog to obedience lessons to blow off some steam-- that's my reward for all the stress of pre-reqs and working FT etc.
I'm crushed, but I WILL carry on and try harder next year. And next year, my focus won't be so divided, between school, work and applying for both nursing school and scholarships.
That's another thing. I also had an interview for a scholarship that paid all tuition, books and a stipend. I was 1 of 4 people selected for interviews for that scholarship. I had to call to let them know I didn't make it into nursing school. URGH!!
