it makes me so darn anxious! when i hear people talking about being accepted or having to wait 3 years to be accepted it just makes the butterflies in my stomach start a fluttering. lol.

anyone else?

sheesh how am i going to stand actually applying and hearing back? :p

Yeah but you have to consider that each school is different. Now if you live in an area that is frequently discussed then you should prepare for that kind of disappointment so when you get accepted the celebration will be that much better.

When I first applied to NS I knew I had to have some sort of a back up plan. My school is so competetive, I was fairly sure I wouldn't get in the first time around. So, I worked on all my pre-req's (my school doesn't require you to be pre-nursing to work on them), and now, three years later I am finally getting ready to start my ADN program.

So yeah, this was a little long winded, but I would just hope that you will get it, but expect that you won't and have a back up plan.

The college I'm hoping to go to for NS used to do the whole waiting list thing...They then switched to now you have to apply every year and hope for the best....Kind of makes me nervous...Nice thing though is the college has a few branches so I'm thinking that if I don't make it in the branch I live in with in a few years then I'll apply to the other branch...It's 1.5 hours away so it'd be quite a drive...but I'll figure out those things when I need to worry about them.

I'm not going to lie, it's pretty horrible waiting around for a piece of mail to come. But once you get an acceptance it is the most wonderful thing ever!!!!!!!!!!! :)

aw thanks for the encouragment guys :)

i'm finishing my last pre req this fall & then i begin the task of applying, i've got about 7 schools in a 60 mile radius. i feel so calm with the whole process of it until i come onto allnurses forums and i read about how excited people are, how they just got accepted, or how they've been denied for the third time and i just wonder what my fate will be.

i knew from a very young age i wanted to be a nurse so it's hard to even begin to think of a back up degree, which this thread has certainly encouraged me to do.

again thanks :)
