This wait is KILLING me....ADVICE?

Ok, here is my story. I go to a local CC. I turned in my Nursing App in Feb. Deadline was 4-30-12. We are not supposed to get letters until the end of June/ beginning of July. I was told yesterday that our school had approx. 450 applicants for 48 spots!! All I want is to be accepted and get that big fat envelope in the mail! I do have a 4.0 and I did decent on my TEAS exam....Any thoughts on how to stay busy and quit worrying so much? LOL....These last few weeks are killer :)

I just wanted to tell you that I got in for the fall and my GPA was only a 3.4 and I did OK on the TEAS, not great but not bad. The school I'm going to had over 300 applicants for 30 spots...Thought I'd boost your confidence a little :)

GOOD LUCK!!!

Oh wow! Congratulations!!! I have a 4.0, and did OK on the TEASV with highest score in Math....Im betting maybe after reading this I have a fair shot! I know there are several hundred applicants, so who knows.... Now, I'm even more anxious to find out!

GOOD LUCK EVERYBODY!

impressive a 4.0... now to my advise...get busy like take up zumba plus yoga and use your energy to keep your mind and mental health plus physical in shape. having said that, remember if it's meant to be no one can't take it away from you plus you sound like the type of person that is a go getter therefore, don't despair as i wish you the very best in all of your future endeavors and send you a hug :hug: from across the miles....aloha~

Exercise is wonderful. I really need to start running/jogging again. It works wonders. It's been almost 3 weeks. :/ I have at least two more weeks of possible waiting

LOL. thanks! Me too :) I'll know something by the 30th. Guess I can suck it up until then. Right now I just need good luck for the 24 page chemistry exam I am about to go in and take! And it's storming-- but silly me who lives an hour away didn't know that and wore flip flops!

Thanks! It was brutal and literally took 3 hours! All short answer, complete sentence type questions and a lot of math of course. Oh the joys! ;)

And for some reason my post posted 2x. Sorry about that-- don't know how to remove it!

The best thing to do is to start preparing for nursing school.Review A&P,dosage calculations,med term.

Between a slammed summer semester, my two little ones, keeping up with other duties, and getting ready for nursing school I barely have time to shower or eat, much less run! Lol. Maybe I can go in the morning though. I really need it!
