Scared to get in???

Published

Anyone else scared to be accepted??? I'm applying for the fall program and will know by May 1st if I'm in. This is what I've been dreaming about for the past two years, but now that it could be right around the corner I'm scared to death. What if the program is too tough, what if I can't juggle family/home, etc. Please tell me I'm not the only one who feels this way?:uhoh3:

That's why I love this site! You can always count on at least one other person that's out there feeling the same way you do! I just feel that if I get in now, there's a reason, and if I don't, there's a reason, too. So...we'll see what happens. Congrats to you:balloons: - what an awesome feeling it must be! Hope to feel it myself soon!!

I'm right there with you..I know exactly what you are feeling.

I knew that I had 2 chances to pass the entrance exam to the school I wanted to go to (I made it in!!). I went to the entrance exam on a whim and I went in cold..no studying at all. I think subconciously I wanted to fail the entrance exam so I wouldn't be admitted in..then I wouldn't have to worry about being humiliated if I couldn't do it in school..juggling 2 kids (14 and 5 yrs old) my 30hr a week job, the house, the hubby etc.

But I made it!! I start 2 weeks from yesterday! And at times I heave a big sigh. Hubby asks whats wrong and I tell him, I am use to succeeding in everything I've tried. I;m worried I won't do well in LPN school. He laughs at me and tells me he has every confidence in me and i WILL make it through..he told me maybe i should lower my expectations regarding grades and that i should be thrilled with a B as I would be with an A..and of course when I feel like lying down and giving up, he's going to be right there to pull me up and stand me upright..gotta love my big lug!!

You'll do fine!! I think its a common emotion..we've waited soooo long to get in..and once we're in your fearful of the unknown..the what ifs, and will i make it.

Hang on baby..we (all the students starting now..and soon) are in for one hell of a ride!

I'm scared to death!!!!

I will know in a matter of weeks if I got accepted into the program I applied for...I feel fairly confident that I'll get in, but because I want it so bad there is that little nagging voice that's asks what if I don't get in. I'm even more scared of actually getting in, because I keep asking myself what if I can't make it what if I get in and fall flat on my face. I voice this to my family and they keep telling me that this is what I've been working towards for so long that I have to stay positive and that they know I'm not going to fail. Good Luck to everyone!!! I'm keeping my fingers crossed for everyone!!!

I'm scared I won't get in and I'm scared I will get in!! I should find out in about three weeks if I am accepted. If I don't get a letter, then I did not get into the LPN program and will go ahead with my pre-reqs for the RN program. I hate waiting!! Blessings to all!

It sounds like most of us have a great support system at home. That definitely will make it easier. If only we had as much confidence in ourselves as our families have in us, huh??:nuke:

I almost find myself hoping I don't get in...just so I'll have an excuse to put it off. I just don't see how I can possibly do it, along with working (which I will have to do). I am praying for a way to make it work.

I just started my own graphic design business last October in hopes that I could use this to pay the bills while in nursing school. I just started doing some self-promo and am entering a networking group. It's just starting off slow...but I need clients now.

I'm sure it will all work out some way. If I don't get in this Fall (El Centro ADN Program), then I am going to continue working through the classes and apply for the BS program at TWU next year. Which might be better timing...

Ahh the joys of life....or shall I say, the lack of one (with 14hrs this semester I have no life but school)
