Plan B
I am definitely not starting nursing school in January. There was a slight chance that I would still be able to if a certain number of people dropped out in time, but I talked to the nursing school office yesterday and there are still 7 people ahead of me. The woman I spoke with has been talking to me all semester and has been very kind to me. I think after calling so many times she realized I was an actual person, and she gave me hope for a long time. But yesterday she told me that there was very little chance that I would get in now, with classes only about a month away.
It is frustrating and depressing to say the least. Now I have to go through the whole application process again, when I doubled-up on prerequisites in order to start nursing school as early as possible. And my GPA won't be as good as when I applied, because the only way I could get an A in Pharmacology now would be by getting 100% on every remaining test. Since I haven't gotten higher than a 92% previously, this is highly unlikely to happen.
I haven't told anyone yet. I kind of need to work through it on my own, so I can be prepared for people's responses when I tell them. What is so hard for me to deal with is that I was SO CLOSE. It would be easier to deal with if I had been denied outright, but for this I was literally hundredths of a point from getting in! This kills me.
So on to Plan B: get my CNA license and work while I apply to more nursing schools. Something has got to fall into place, 2010 is going to be a bigger and brighter year, right???
