Well, pre-reqs are officially over!

I've finished out my last semester of pre-reqs (Anatomy & Physiology II, Microbiology, Medical Terminology, and Algebra) and will be putting my nursing school application in the mail tomorrow. Eek! My GPA is good, my TEAS was really good, and really... I should be confident. The school is on a points system and I was told that a 185 is pretty much a sure thing-- I have a 212. But, there always is that little niggling uncertainty until I have my acceptance letter in hand, ya know? Applications are due until June 1, so I know I'll have a bit of a waiting game going on... Argh! How do you STAND IT? LOL!

Good luck :) I applied back in November 2011 and didn't find out until April 6th that I was accepted. Longest months of my life. Congrats.

Hi ~

Congrats on finishing your pre-req's! Some weight has been lifted off your shoulders. If the deadline is June 1, when are decisions made (late Fall)? In the meantime, go celebrate with a nice dinner and by doing something fun/relaxing - pedicure, shopping, warm bath, go to a movie, etc. While you wait for your news you could volunteer at a hospital/clinic/church/library etc. so you aren't feeling to anxious or bored waiting for the news.

Good luck and keep us updated on your acceptance news.

I didn't :( I stalked the mail woman for weeks. I knew they said on or before April 15th. So once March rolled around I was sooooo anxious I couldn't take it. I kept saying I wont get in, I was getting really negative at that point.

You should hear something by then because your orientation probably would be in August sometime. I know with the program I am applying to, our applications are due May 17th but we still have the TEAS to take and the interview. Then we should receive our letters late June/ early July and orientation is scheduled for August 7th.
