I just got my acceptance letter for the 2 year program. Nervous does not even describe my feelings right now! Good Luck to everyone else who is starting in January.

I just got accepted to a BSN program for the spring, I've never been this anxious about anything so I know how you feel! Good luck to you!

Same here. Im scared! But so very excited. I've worked hard for a long time get here. I am worried of becoming that student who shed tears of joy over an acceptance letter, then less than 4 months later is shedding more tears out of frustration and being overwhelmed! I just want it to go smoothly. I dont want to be blindsided and knocked on my butt!

I also just received the awaited acceptance letter a few days ago! I am starting at a two years program at FKCC and I am so nervous but excited at the same time. I have heard so many (about half the class) drops during the program. Where did you all get accepted at?

Could have written this post, and I echo all the rest of you. I worked hard to get here and my whole family has made sacrifices for my education. I'm terrifed that I don't have the stick-to-itiveness to justify those sacrifices, and I'm nervous about starting this next phase of my education. Trying to take it one day, one breath at a time.

I start my Accelerated BSN program in January and it finishes up in December of that same year. I am scared right now, very scared...but excited all at the same time. I have children so it is going to be rough but I have worked so darned hard to get here and am planning on doing what it takes to get through it. Good luck everyone!!! I cannot wait until we are on here posting about graduating! :)

It's going to be tough but whenever I start to overwhelm myself, I just slow myself down and remind myself why I'm doing this. I even have a few post-its around my room and bathroom that have uplifting messages. It's cheesy but it works. Just follow everyone's advice and manage your time well, utilize resources and maybe find a mentor, my school has a mentoring program and I definitely plan on taking advantage of it.
