Who else is waiting for an Acceptance letter?

Published

Who else has applied to their program and is stressing out? Lets all share and while we wait!

I applied in FEBRUARY! And wont find out if I got accepted or not until the middle of May, so I'm pretty much losing my mind... I'm trying very hard not to bother the nursing director, I've already bothered her twice... All she will tell me is "Your scores look competitive." That's not enough for me! But I'm trying to be patient, and also not to get my hopes too high. I'm finding it difficult to concentrate on my current classes, I'm so distracted stressing about my letter! My heart skips every time I check the mailbox, even though I know it wont be there for another month!

So share your story of waiting, whether your waiting now, or have already been accepted, or if you have any tips and advice on how to NOT stress about it!

I applied to my LPN program in March. I won't hear anything until the end of May. Ugh! This wait is driving me insane!

I was accepted in to one program but it's my last choice. I am waiting to hear back from 2 other schools and was not accepted from 2 schools. I am so anxious to hear back from the others its practically consuming me. All I hear from other people is transferring into a BSN is very competitive you are lucky you got into any program at all. Well, I'm not giving up hope and check my e-mail constantly and get my mail on a regular basis now.

To get through the anxiety I research acceptance stats on the internet, I force myself to take a break from it during the day to concentrate on my current classes and allow myself to worry and wonder my evenings away! I honestly don't know what to do with myself that will make it any easier (I don't see many stats listed for transfer applicants into traditional BSN programs.) Ugh, May can't come soon enough!

I would say just keep yourself busy and when you think about the acceptance letter automatically distract yourself. The clock seems to be going by slower when you look at it, but hang in there! I won't hear back from one school until June. We can make through it together! :)

Wow June is a very long time from now! I agree prayer is important!

I've never heard that getting into BSN transfer programs were hard to get into.. that's tough because I'm working on my ADN now and plan to get my bsn soon after!

I'm trying to keep busy but it's tough.. my school is so competetive and out of like 300 students who apply only 45 get in so I'm very nervous!

I applied for my program at the beginning of February and won't hear anything back until mid/end of May. The classes that I am taking this semester are used in calculating my points for getting into the program. So at this time with 15 credit hours and working full time all my time is focused on doing well in my classes. At this point I don't have any free time to worry about getting in or not. Once the semester ends I will have a few weeks before I hear back from the school so who knows may start to stress a bit than. I have looked to see what the cut off has been for other years and figured out where my points will fall (all depends on how I do in my micro lab class, could make a difference between 5 points).

Right now my focus and energy is being put into what I have control of at this time, my studies. I have too much going on to worry about what I can't control which is how many points everyone else will have and where the cutoff will be this year.

im so glad i found this page! i applied to 3 programs and 2 of which i should hear at the end of this month - but their really competitive so i dont know if i will get in, and the 3rd school i hear back in the middle of May. Its tough going through this waiting period and a lot of people tell me to 'enjoy this time while i have it' , but im very hesitant about what the letters may say.

I guess in the mean time to stay busy, i go to work and by the end of the day, i am so exhausted that i go to sleep - which makes the day go faster. Then on the days off, i guess i watch shows or you could start a tv series. Or keep yourself busy by going out with friends to a movie, or a walk around the block, or whatever u like. :)

I'm doing my best to wait also... I'm hoping to hear back from two schools this month and another in May. Work is pretty distracting but honestly I check the mailbox way too often anyway lol.

I applied at one program at one campus, but I feel very confident. I won't receive my letter until the end of May/early June. I can't wait.

The waiting is so hard! I feel like I'm going crazy, but I'm trying to focus on my classes right now. I've been checking my email way too often.

I applied for the ADN program at my local community college in October-November of last year and won't find out if I'm accepted until later this month! I've had many sleepless nights.
