i am a new grad rn and recently started working and i love my job.
i was rejected from mdc 5 times. yes, i kept the 5 rejection letters i got from mdc, and i also saved the 3 acceptance letters i got from other colleges that i applied to.
i wanted to be an rn and i didn't let anything get in my way, i even had a baby in the middle of my semester, a week later i had to make up the last 2 test i missed. i was still with lochia when i started my semester after the baby was born.
i was thinking of going to mdc-medical campus and talking to the nursing school advisor at the time that i applied it was valery something... i forgot her last name. but anywho, i wanted to go to them and show them my license and say to them;
"you know, i applied several times into the program with no success. i sent you a 3 page letter stating how much i wanted to be in the program to be an rn. and i feel that i am owed an explanation why i did not get in after several attempts. i had a 3.3 gpa, i had all classes completed and i was concidered "eligible student"... but what is the real reason of why i was not picked for the program?........ i know i would of been a success in the program, because i completed a program in a different school, and here is my licence *shows license*. i believe that you should concider students like me who keep applying to the school, specially if they write a letter on how much they want to be in the program or perhaps do interview screening so you do not accept people who are really not passionate about nursing school".
what do you think?
i asked one of my old classmates but he said that "i should just let it go"
i see students at work from that school, and it makes me sad that i wanted to be there. that school was only 20 minutes away from my house..... in the same city where i lived.
isn't that what a local school is supposed to do? accept people from the community??
that doesn't make sense. i could of been a nurse for 3 years by now if i would of been accepted from that school.
i hate it now when they send me mail advertising their programs. they call it "the college of opportunity"... ummm... i don't think so!
i know my bcc was not perfect, i cried a few times that i was there. but regardless, i was very thankful to have been accepted there, gone there, graduated from there, and became an rn:nurse:

yes, you should let it go. It really doesn't matter why you didn't get accepted there. You are an RN now! Another school saw something in you and you made it. Be proud of that and move forward. You aren't going to gain anything by being angry at them. You already have gotten the best revenge, you got your dream.
