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 have a pretty good idea when the notifications for all my schools will be going out, but I keep checking my mail with my eyebrow raised just in case there is an early gift in there for me. It has become a bit of a silly game as I am trying to take some of the sting out of this anticipation. I don't want to drive myself crazy, and I know my angst comes as much from wanting to get into a program BADLY as it comes from wanting to get started on the next step toward getting ready to be a nursing student. Limbo is not my friend, but I am trying to manage it a little better.
The deadline for two of mine was three weeks ago so I'm REALLY hoping to hear something soon!!! I'm turning in one more in the next few days, btu the deadline for that isn't until April 1st, so I know that will take quite a while. I'm not very good at being patient with normal things, but when there is so much weight on this, I'm having an even harder time!

I was on the waiting list for 2 years and that was killing me too. My GPA was not so bad, but never be accepted. I transferred to a private school with no waiting list and good location. Here is LA so I am studying nursing at Shepherd University. I saw someone who was on the waiting list more than 2 years. I could tell how it kills you.
Relax... get out of the waiting list... I hate that
