So I think we are well into the application period so, surely it is time to start up this board. I can not wait until we hear back in May. Trying to keep very busy while waiting. Good luck to everyone applying!! Hopefully we can keep each other company here and celebrate our successes!!

Lol Bumpy - I hope not, cause mine would be on its last legs!

I am cracking up b/c all of our little icons by our name that show "online" are green.. At least we are in good company. I am guessing they will wait til later in the day to avoid phone calls but who knows..?

So much for pulling myself away from the computer.

I want to call so badly but am scared they will give me bad news and say "oh it'll be the end of May"...or something.

Haha for real! I have stuff to do today! Anyone else starting to feel like waiting for the letter is gonna be the hardest part of nursing school?

I wish it's the hardest part of nursing school! But I think those that are actually IN nursing school would disagree with us! lol

I think the wait is so hard because it's a life changing event! Getting accepted or rejected puts your life on completely different paths.

I am losing it today as well..I keep eating candy it's a problem!!! Good luck everyone, I just think I will go crazy if we don't find out today it is so set in my head that we will. I am nervous though....

[vc1478]

Lol I know if I had candy right now it would be gone in 5 minutes! I'm trying not to let myself get too excited, I just really, really hope today is the day we've been waiting for too. Good luck everyone!!

Okay, just an idea, but I decided to become a nurse after my second child came early. He was born at 29 weeks. We lived in the NICU for five weeks, it was during this time that I decided I wanted to be a nurse. I thought maybe we could share why we want to be a nurse, and what area you might want to go into. Maybe it will pass the time, or maybe I am just becoming crazy emotional and sappy..

[kate0226]

I think I am gonna call....I can't take it and it says multiple places on the website that notification is may 1st...I am such a chicken though!!

[kate0226]

I called.

And I am not even kidding that she said "May 1st is just a tentative day, it will most likely be the end of next week."

Sorry to share bad news. I wish I hadn't called now. This is getting ridiculous. I really hope she is wrong. Anyone else want to give them a call and see if they are told the same?

Well I have a couple reasons, my grandparents both lived with my family up until my grandma passed and the nurses were really heaven sent, she had a stroke and was bed ridden for 15 years if you can even imagine. so they helped my family so much, and my son was also a premie we spent a week in the NICU and I was a preemie as well 2 months early so I have a lot to thank nurses for! After my son was born the nurse who helped me was the most kind women ever she really confirmed it for me.I wanted to be a nurse!
