Hopeful -Awaiting Acceptance!

Posted over 1 year ago Hi All! I just joined this site and enjoying reading some interesting posts. I am currently waiting for acceptance into the next semester for the Nursing Program at my school in Jacksonville, FL. I have applied to both the RN program and the LPN program. After 2 years of pre-reqs, it's been a long time coming and I am happy to finally be at this point where I am able to apply! I am a mixture of feelings right about now! Terrified, excited, nervous, scared, etc.! I am hoping to get accepted first into RN, but with it being such a competitive and difficult program to get into I am prepared to not get accepted first try. That is why I have applied to the LPN program as a back up plan. Any advice is welcomed! And good luck to any other hopefuls out there!! |

EEK ((fingers crossed)) Although I will be just as happy with LPN school also, It may take longer to complete my goal, but it's one step closer! |

Mandi, may I give you some other words of encouragement, please.. I heard once a very wise brother of my say, 5 years will go by whether you are in school or not.. The question is, where do you want to be in 5 years.. Best wishes to you...... |

| Posted about 1 year ago Hi Theresa, just wanted to update.. I recieved my letter yesterday and unfortunately it wasn't good news! Trying to look at the bright side of things, at least this way I will have my summer off! I am currently in my last prereq right now so after this class ends in May I will have nothing else to take! Thanks for all your encouragement and I will continue to need it :) |

| Posted about 1 year ago Mandiestaz, 1st of all, I like to say that I'm sorry that you weren't accepted for this term.. But you know they say, Every thing happens for a reason. I'm a true believer of that. Who know's why, but maybe it's to make you stronger. I have no doubt that you will read your goal. Do what you have to do and I know that there is a place for you in the program.. Congratulations, on finishing your pre-req's. we al know that's a feat in itself.. God Bless you and please keep us posted.. Hugs,Teresa |

Only 96 out of 355 applicants were accepted, I was not one of them. I was pretty bummed, but can't say I was really expecting to get in on the first try anyways. I know my scores weren't very high, so it's not a huge dissapointment. This just means that I am going to study up and retake the NAT (entrance exam for nursing program we have to take here) and try to better my scores so I have a better chance next time. Luckily the next application period is coming up April 1st, that is for the Fall semester. I guess I'm not totally shot on getting in the RN program this year, and have to go with LPN. I still have a chance.. I am not giving up.
