Well I wasn't accepted

Published

I was denied acceptance to the LVN program at a local college I applied to. I don't feel as bad as I thought I would though...maybe because I really really want to get into the RN program but settled for applying to the LVN thinking maybe it was less competitive to get into (what in the world was I thinking??? Its just AS competitive!). So I'm going to retake some of my science courses and shoot for those A's and hopefully will get accepted next year. Keeping my fingers crossed :uhoh3:

At least you are in good company. So many of my classmates for pre-reqs had to re take classes and apply for a second time. At my school the LPN program is less competitve than the RN program. There are just not as many people who want to go that route. It is a great way to get started if you cant afford to wait to get into the RN program. Good luck next year!

Sorry to hear that, but what is meant for you (at the time that it is meant for you) will be. Keep at it and you will make it!

I was denied last year, it sucks but life goes on. I decided on plan B and am now finishing off the additional pre-reqs I need for the new program. I put in my application this month and will hear in a month or two whether I got in or not.

My plan B has actually turned out to be better for me than the first school I chose. It's a smaller school, WAY smaller cohort (72 compared to 200+), cheaper, and I have been given scholarships.

As long as you have a plan and are moving forward you have much of what you need to succeed. Good luck to you and DON'T GIVE UP!

I noticed you live close by me.. where did you apply? There are many, many schools around here.. keep trying and spread your applications out. Keep working hard and bringing the grades up and you will get accepted.. everything happens for a reason.

Maybe this is a blessing in disguise, so you can go for the RN program and be closer to your goals :)

Don't sweat it, girl. It was just not to be. You were probably

destined to be a registered nurse. :]

The same thing happened to me. The most important thing is that you never give up! Everything will come in due time. Good Luck

A setback don't mean you have to give up your dreams. I can so relate to what you are going through. Good to see you are in good spirits, like you said nursing schools for either LPN or ADN are both competitive. I wish you lots of luck in your future.

DON'T GIVE UP! I have received more rejection letters than I care to imagine.. but that didnt stop me and I continued to reapply.. I got into the LPN program in 2008 and I just received my RN acceptaner letter 4 years later 2012.. people told me to give up and find another dream.. no this is my dream and I made it come true.. so can you.. BIG HUGS!!!
