The Wait is Killing Me!

Published

I applied to start the nursing program in the Fall. My GPA is good, but its right on the borderline of getting accepted and not getting accepted. I'm driving myself crazy waiting to get that letter!!

I go to the mall or I go to a store and I see a watch, shoes, etc. and think "Oh, that would be a perfect for clinicals." Everyone keeps asking me when I start clinicals and I always say "Fingers crossed for August."

But seriously I'm going crazy with this waiting game. The first week of March cannot get here soon enough!!!!

How is everyone else coping?!

I am applying to two schools in oklahoma and the deadlines for both were Feb 1st. I should know about them both by April 1st. I am stressing out way to much! I work with nurses and they are all constantly wanting to know if I have found out anything yet! I keep telling them April can't get here soon enough ... :-)

I can't wait either!!!!!!!! My deadline is also February, but I never would assume that I would have to wait 1-2 months after the deadline!

May I ask what grade average (GPA) you have? You may have a good enough entering grade... :)

have you guys seen the 2.10.11 verizon iphone commercial? those clocks and the waiting... i keep thinking it's a future nursing student stalking her mailman not a new phone commercial.

(i am excited about the phone too)

Ugh they extended my deadline from Feb 1st to the 18th. It is really killing me.

I feel y'all, I applied early oct 19th and expected notification is mid march, it is just a cruel waiting game until then.

Even though I turned mine in already, our application deadline isn't until March 1! I should know by June 1 at the latest.

I'm taking 4 classes this semester, including micro and patho, so that's helping keep me occupied. I think after the application deadline arrives and I know that decisions are being made, I will start freaking my mail lady out. Until then, I just try to focus on diseases and bacteria and not on the letter that will determine my future!

Christina23,

I'm in the same boat as you. The deadline isn't until March 1 and the decisions aren't given until May/June.. I'm freaking out. :eek: lol I also am taking classes and the labs to go along with them this semester (a total of 6 one being micro) trying to keep my grades up :p. If you don't mind me asking though what schools did you apply to? Good luck on getting in :nurse:

Ugh the wait is really making me have second thoughts I have two small children and it hurts to leave them but I know I need to do this for myself and for them. My husband also says I have to do it because he is tired of hearing me talk about the wait!!!!

Hang in there it will be worth it.

I have a back-up plan if I don't get in but it would still be heartbreaking. If I don't make it in this semester, then I'm going have to start retaking the classes I got a B in and try to make an A because this is my last semester of pre-reqs. I have plenty of homework to keep me busy, but doing the homework just reminds me of that looming application. :eek:

I'm so sorry I'm late in replying. In my defense, I've had sick kids!!!

Anyway, to answer your question, I am a student at and applied to Boise State.
