UNLV SON Summer 2014

Published

Is anyone else planning on applying to UNLV SON for the summer 2014 start?

Lol I know, I've been telling myself the same thing..but I'm a point in my life where I can't waste time lol. This is kind of me holding out hope I'll get in, but part of me doesn't believe I will. I'm sorry if I'm going all crazy :(

It's alright Brian. This is our future at stake....our careers...the culmination of all our hard work. You're not crazy. You give a damn about your future. If you want to become a nurse the only person that can stop you is you. You're gonna get there. You are too thorough and dedicated not to. :yes:

Hey brian, I totally understand what you are going through.. Trust me.. I was that crazy freak who was always on this forum everyday checking points, checking statuses, and comparing. I believe this is like my 4th time of applying (not embarrassed to say that I only have 83.9 something points) after back up plans and taking 7 total exams for nursing entrances...I finally just accepted that my time for whatever reason will come... And that's exactly how you should feel. My situation is a but different than others, my fiancé is on dialysis and is only 28 years old! He will be 29 in April and is still awaiting for a kidney:( I have known him before he placed on dialysis, and before he began going through kindey failure. Unfortunately, he was dealing with kidney complications his whole life, but when it hit us back in August of 2012 that's when I started applying to nursing school. I was very frustrated and wondering why I wasn't getting in along with wondering why my fiancé hasn't received his kidney... This whole experience, along with faith; has brought me to a point where my purpose in life is helping him get better... Learning as much as I can until God allows me to get into any nursing program... I have never given up! It's been very hard, I have the brains for school I know it.. Points do not define a person... It's the passion you have to wanting to become a nurse is what I believe ! I know all of you have what it takes! Sometimes getting into a program takes longer than others, but it's okay... Being persistent until something sticks , it will happen... As normal people we stress ourselves a little too much (like I did) and didn't think about other peoples situations that may be worse where they stress to live another day, relying on a machine to stay ALIVE! it made me see things differently... To not force anything, to keep trying but have patience... I can go on but holy crap I rambled a little too long!!! Just wanted to make you all see that I probably have the lowest point scores and still here... Still trying.. You guys will all make it if you still try!! NEVER GIVE UP!!! You all will become a nurse!! Everything happens for a reason!!!! Good or bad ... It leads you to become someone extraordinary

Hmm well my parents called the office without me knowing this morning.. (thank god they didn't mention my name). They said that they still have not started calling yet, and that they may not until next week. I'm not sure if that was just a quick answer to get them off the phone or if that was the honest truth. It is odd that it is taking them so long.. totally out of character. Anyways, thought I would share to take a bit of the edge off.

Maybe they just said that because they specifically told us not to call until the 15th (not that this is your fault) and want to ensure that your parents aren't going to call and bug them again before then.

My friend actually said the same thing. She is at work this morning and overheard them talking about it. She didnt hear why but they said that the earliest they might start is friday. This is really weird, could this mean that the point totals are really close or they are just taking their time...hmmmm

Yea that is what I was thinking too, but who knows. I had a mini panic attack when I found out they had called. Looks like we'll just have to wait them out. :confused::eek:

I would've freaked out too lol but this is driving people crazy...they finished calculation on Friday, what could possibly be taking so long..?
