I know everyone's waiting period is different. BUT what are you doing to kill the time waiting on your letter? I actually have about a month more to go which isnt as long as some I have seen on here, so i dont want to seem complainful but its really hard some days to not being negative about it all. But you know that feeling?! You pass your tests and your classes/pre reqs, you KNOW FOR SURE you will be accepted and then you start doubting yourself after seeing SO many people going for the same thing, with possibly better scores or appear to be more favorable. With my HESI, I made an overall 82 and was THRILLED!!!! I did my happy dance infront of toooo many people I did not know when I jumped up from the computer, yet some people tell me thats a bad score and likely, it will be a close call if I get accepted. My school is competitive. But less so for the LVN program, its also a points system. Which is what I applied for. My GPA wouldnt cut it (3.0) for ADN right now plus I dont want to be in school for 2 years right now with 2 small kids- I would rather bridge later---ANYWAY. I would love to work, but also want to enjoy my time with my kids before ( I may be) accepted into nursing school and kids will then have to go to daycare So Im choosing to volunteer once a week at the Childrens hospital. I actually get to help in the NICU which I was thrilled about as well ( I was a NICU mommy). I will have spring semester to keep me busy- but what are your techniques- self talk- hobbies, etc.?? that keep your mind off the worst case scenario. OR have you started to plan the worse case scenario..and thought what if I dont get accepted, then...... *plan B*
Thank you so much
