I thought it might be nice to have a place for us to vent our frustrations with waiting until May 30th or so when letters start going out. I know I'm going nuts already!
How about introductions and a little info about each person?
I'm applying to both Bloomington and Indy-Lawrence for the Fall 2009 ASN programs. I turned in my apps this week with 4 As on the pre-reqs and a 90.0 on the TEAS. My eventual goal is at least getting a BSN, and if I feel like doing homework long enough, an MSN of some sort. I work full time now, but will hopefully only work part time if I get accepted. I'm so antsy to start preparing and finally feel like all of this is real!
My friend and I are at the Evansville campus. I don't want this break to fly by, but I also would like to know my plans for the fall. Evansville is only taking 30 RNs for the fall and they said 180 people applied. YIKES!! That concerns me a bit. Does anyone know the ratios for spots vs. applicants for their schools?
I wonder where 300 comes from. I don't know how we'd be able to find out the number of applicants. So the 120 is 60 ASN and 60 PN...So 20% chance of getting into ASN? I don't know that there's any way to be sure what the exact figures are, without knowing exactly how many applied, exactly how many points everyone had, etc. There are just too many factors and I think all we can do it wait....and wait...and wait...Although we are getting closer every day!!
I dreamed that I was retaking the TEAS again last night. It really kind of sucked, I feel like I didn't get very restful sleep because of it! lol! Now that we're two weeks away from finding out I'm starting to freak out a little. Okay, maybe freak out a lot...
I've been doing a pretty good job of thinking positively so far, but now since it's getting so close, the reality that I might not be accepted is starting to sink in. Like what if something happened and I don't get accepted? I've told like the entire universe that I've applied, if I don't get in, I'll be so ashamed and upset

Don't worry, your not the only one that feels that way. We have done all that we can do, it is out of our hands. I worry over stupid things like, the fact that I retook English 111 this semester for an "A" which I got and I think-- I hope they don't look at my old English 111 which was a "B". I hope they realize I retook this class. Like they have never had that situation before. silly worrying.
I have been secretly freaking out because when I turned in my application at Lawrence, the woman downstairs would not give me an official transcript. She just printed my unofficial grades and told me to keep my $5. I insisted that I wanted to pay for the peace of mind, and after running upstairs and down again trying to get the Nursing office to talk to her and vice versa, she just wrote a note on my trascript saying if anyone had a problem to contact her. That is $5 I never would have missed. I really hope they didn't just toss me aside because of that...I emailed one of the directors and she said it should be fine but I still worry.
Mason - That sounds like something that would freak me out big time too!
Now that I don't have Lost to look forward to and podcast about every week, time is going to go by so much slower. These last two weeks are going to be horrible
I keep freaking out since I went to the Bloomington nursing info session in Sept 2007 and I worry that they somehow won't have a record of me going to that one. I emailed the director and she said I didn't need to go to another Bloomington one, but still, I worry about that a lot.
