Waiting on my letter of acceptance or denial...and i'm getting kinda bumbed

nadia12 · Sep 21, 2010

HI ya'll. I am currently a 4th year college student but because of being a pre-nursing major I am really a perpetual sophomore. I have always wanted to be a nurse. I thought it was the coolest thing in the world. It just seems to be constantly slipping out of my hands now a days. I have fought long and hard to bring my GPA back up close to a 3.0 and the ways things are looking this semester I might have it at the end. Unfortunately, not in time for my application which was handed in back on August 6th. So now, 6 weeks later, I find myself hoping and wishing for the letter to come. I just feel really discouraged because the nursing secretary told me they would just throw the application :sniff: of ankle surgery, being on crutches trying to make it across campus in 10min, and a professor who just did not care. I want to be a nurse but I am wondering if I will ever get to feel the joy the person felt at 1230pm today. Its hard to have a dream that you want so mush and yet, people are telling you that you're not smart enough for this job.... one semester.... one really,really,really bad semester.
Sad, discouraged, and my hope is flickering anyone got any advice of what I can do sense my grades are not what they should be?

You should not be dicouraged brother. I f any body can do it,you can do it too.I failed the teas test twice,but I did not dicourage by that or by people who told me I am not ready.However when I took the test for the third time,I got 91 percentile,which is high score for the college that I am applying. I am an imigrant,but nothing can stop me...everything needs experience. I am waiting for my acceptance LETTER,i SHOULD GET IT SOON. My GPA is 3.3 ...it is not really high,but it is ok.....urs is not bad either .

Good luck to you.

did u get my message

Yeah, I got it... and thank you so much for that encouragement. I am only taking 13hrs this semester so as long as I can keep studying as hard as I am I will finally get my 3.0. However, I do not know if it is in time. They tell us a minimum of 3.0 to apply but, my friend got accepted last spring and she told me that there were at least five people in her class that was under a 3.0. So, I praying the hardest prayer I can to just let my dream finally become a reality.

Don't ever give up if its what you really want. I went through so much I won't even botehr saying it all. My point is I tried to look into other majors but I something in me just kept me trying. If its what you really want just keep pushing through, it will eventually work out. :yeah:

Teddy bear: I am awfully sorry that things have been so difficult for you. Trust me, the science classes ARE HARD! I am 40 something and have a BS and half a MS and I am redoing the science prereqs and they are hard! Please don't get discouraged. Just keep the goal in sight and keep putting one foot in front of the other and you WILL get there!

I'm going to share my latest saying that I have taped everywhere in my house and throughout my life (refriger, computer now as I'm typing away, bathroom mirror, steering wheel, etc). Here goes:

"Any worthwhile goal deserves the effort necessary to achieve success. Being over prepared is the BEST way to place yourself in a position of strength".

When the days get rough ~ and it feels like I can't take any more stress~ I read and re-read this saying and know that with my determination and God's help I can make it into the nursing program and YOU CAN TOO!

Best wishes (I don't believe in luck) and remember that you do your best and keep fighting. :)

I feel your pain! I too, am a perpetual sophmore. If I don't get in for the spring program I don't know what I'll do. Just hang in there and know you are not alone! I try to just think that it will be worth all of the hassle to finally be a nurse one day. I really hope you get in your program!!!!
