    On pins and needles...*update*

    At least I think that's the saying for when your very nervous/anxious about something. I just found out that a girl my friend goes to community college with got her acceptance letter today for the hospital that I am trying to get into. I didn't get anything in the mail from them today, so I'm even more anxious now for tomorrow than I have been all week. Yesterday I checked the mail 3 times to find nothing in it each time...I'm not sure what I will do if I am not accepted into this teaching hospital for radiology. My backup backup plan is to go to our community college's ultrasound program but...its a very small program and the program itself doesn't start until 2010. My friend is doing it now and taking all the general courses to get them out of the way...I really wanted to be done with school by 2010 as this is the second time I will be going to college...Anyway, any good "hope you get in" vibes sent my way will be very much appreciated :)

     Haha, oh yea, I feel them...thanks!!

    I just don't feel like my interviews went as well as it could have, and I was very overwhelmed with all the different departments they had there, and of course I couldnt think of many questions to ask, but when I got home I thought of all the "oh I should've asked this" questions...they only accept 15 students per year...

    good luck! I hope you get in!

    Nursing schools here are extremely competitive, i was a wreck waiting for my acceptance letter!

    I am sending lots of wishes that you get in.  My pups paws are crossed for you also.  Good luck for school also.  It can be trying but so worth it!

    Thanks everyone for all of the good vibes but I didn't get in. I got the letter just now and just finished crying in DH's arms. Didn't think I would be so upset about not getting in, but you never know until you get the letter saying you weren't accepted. I feel like a failure when something like this happens, I know I'm not..but it just sucks. I would've worked hard, I really wanted this..and I didn't have a real backup plan so now I have to hurry and look into other schools to get in for fall....

    Oh, BOO! I didn't get into my 1st choice college either. I applied for a nursing program and that college is super-competitive so I just didn't make it.

    BUT since I got rejected, I had a change of heart and went to a bigger college, as a teaching major! I love love love teaching and can't imagine ever being a nurse now. So what I'm trying to say is, maybe it wasn't meant to be. I'm so glad NOW that I was rejected, or else I'd be stuck in a super-competitive nursing program and hating it.

    Yum! thanks!! I told DH my diet is out the window today and I have every right to eat as much crap as I want...

    The problem is, I already did college once, graduated with hating my degree, never did anything in my major when I got my job. I know I want to be in the medical field, but maybe radiology wasn't meant for me, as I have been leaning towards Ultrasounds on the Heart lately. The more my friend tells me about it, the more I'm liking that so maybe this is a good thing, who knows..only time will tell. But for now I'm going to sulk. This was the toughest teaching hospitals to get into from what I have heard, I just don't like rejection...IT SUCKS ;)

    {{{{{HUGS}}} to you!  I'm sorry, but as my polish granny always said...as one door closes another opens!

    But as my Italian grandma says...screw 'em.

    Absolutely...comfort food is in order.  I'm sorry to hear your news.  Hey, I'm a big believer that things happen for a reason.  Soon, another door will open for you and you'll be so glad that you are available to walk through.

    Good luck to you in whatever comes your way.  Smile

    Sometimes the hardest choices in life are the ones that are all "go" and you find out later you shoulda "passed".  I've never EVER been locked out of something that I later didn't discover I shouldna done it anyway!!  This was just a clear resounding "no" to that school.  You don't have to feel bad - it just plain wasn't for you.  You can't drink that milk spilt on the floor anyway -- so wipe it up (with your tears) and go forward.  And RAH that you have someone awesome to cry on!!! (AND Megan's ice cream!!)
