Accepted to the RN program!!

Yay!! I got my letter on Saturday that I was accepted to the RN program at our community college. The administrator said it was the most competitive year she's ever seen. There were 300+ applications and only 70 seats. Now if Microbiology doesnt kill me this summer...I might make it!!!

Congratulations. That is terrific. Welcome aboard. Nancy

Congratulations! You are in for one very tough, but amazingly rewarding ride! The next couple of years may have you doubting your sanity , but when school's over, and you are in the "real" world, you will be so glad you did it! Any idea what field of nursing you want to go into? Good luck! Megan

Kathy, Hurray for you!! Nursing is hard work, but it also such a rewarding career. Good luck in all of your studies and clinicals. If you've taken A&P you will breeze thru Micro. Much luck to you!!! Future Nursing !! Meg

Congratulations Kathy. I remember when I got my acceptance letter...it was awesome. I wish you the best of luck with the program and with Micro..dont worry, its not too bad My husband is trying to get into the Nursing program at our college (Arkansas State University). Its very competitive as well...as most are. So many applicants, so few seats. They need to open up more classes. We are hoping he gets accepted this Fall. He has all of his basics over and done with and has a 4.0 average right now...so he shouldnt have any problem this time around.. *crosses fingers* Lisa

.....Good Luck...I am in my second semester of a RN program and love it.....and I have to agree, if you make it through A&P, micro isnt bad at all!!!! vivian

Kathy............ That's fabulous ! I personally know how it feels to be waiting for things like that. I'ts been a verry long time since I got my acceptance.........I graduated nursing school in 1975 with my RN. But, to this day I love what I do........and I'm sure you will too. If we can help quide you along the way or give you any advice.........don't even hesitate. When do you start? Are you planning to try and work while you take your courses? I wish you all the best that your new found career has to offer you. I"m sure you'll do absolutely wonderfully. When I was in college......it was the older/more mature students that actually were the best students both in class and in clinicals. They just seemed more focused and less distracted. I personally have been a RN for 30 years.......and I often say, there is no way it's been that long. But, I guess when you enjoy what you do time does fly. Where will you be going to school? When do you start?.........trust me when I say it will be soooooooo worth it. Keep me posted ! Huggs, Kathy

I remember what a relief it was to FINALLY get that letter!! Congratulations! Julie
