Everyone, Hello,
This thread is created for anyone who is applying for a 2011 Nursing School Program! We can await our fates together. I think that waiting is going to be the hardest part! I am applying to a Community College for an ADN RN program. Applications are due Sept. 20th and we should know by early Novemeber!! My school just told me that they may also consider a math class that I took (with a higher grade) over College Algebra, which would significantly raise my GPA! I am hopeful!! Where is everyone else applying and when will you potentially find out?!
I got my acceptance letter last week. Feels like it took forever since I applied back in May.
It took me a loooooong time to decide whether to accept it or because alternatively I want to finish a bachelors in Biology or Biotechnology. (Informatics anyone?)
After pondering it over an all-nighter of homework I've decided to accept my spot. Class of 2012.
Now to decide if I want to keep working 3 12s a week or not...
I recently got accepted to my community college to start nursing clinicals (part time) starting January 2011. I'm so excited. This has been a lifelong dream of mine and I'm finally going to DO IT!!! I was in school to be a Medical Assistant back in 2003, but got pregnant, then got pregnant again, and again...LOL. My children are almost all in school now and I have been back in school since 2008 taking all the pre-reqs needed to finally apply. I didn't think that this time would ever come, but low and behold I'VE BEEN ACCEPTED. I just bought my Littman stethoscope, penlight, bandage scissors, watch, and soon to buy my uniforms and shoes. I started all the blood titers and shots that I need, and all the background checks. I'm so excited. I can not wait to get started. If anyone has any tips on how to make this a sucessful run feel free to let me know. I'm a little nervous. I've heard that people with straight A's come out feeling bad about themselves. I have all A's and 2 B's in all the classes I have taken and have a 3.88 GPA, and I'm going to aim high with these nursing classes. Good luck to everyone who is in nursing clinicals.....we will all need it :-):)
Congratulations scaredandexcited30
I am going in thinking of nursing school as my job where I am going to be totally focused, organized, committed and dedicated 100% of the time. I have always approached everything in that way and been successful. I know lots of people out there say that nursing school is extremely hard and I am sure that it is but THEY ARE NOT YOU and everyone has a different experience. Just keep a positive attitude and it will be fine.
