Hmmm...how do I write such a sad blog? Here goes:
I did not get into the U of U nursing program. I am on the waiting list though, so not all is said and done...hopefully several people will decide not to accept into the program and I will get their spot, so keep your fingers crossed.
In the meantime, I am looking into getting a Bachelor's in the health field so that I can just graduate with 2 in the end, and hopefully make me a better candidate to be a nurse manager or a nurse CEO. Things don't always work out in life the way you thought or hoped for them to be, but if I learned one thing from the hardships that I went through in high school, they typically lead you to a place where you knew you wouldn't be if you hadn't gone through what you thought would be the worst times. The worse times lead to the best times, and I just need to remember that I am young. Instead of graduating as an RN when I'd be 22, I will now (hopefully) graduate as an RN when I am 23 (almost 24). But going to school this long will suck.
So thanks to those who helped me so much with my application...mostly Allison for the hours that she spent thinking and writing my essay, and the effort Laura put in to creating my resume. Yes, I do deserve to be in the program right now because I had a bangin' application. But sometimes, there's only so much you can do.

Oh no! Sarah and I were just talking about you, wondering what the news was. I'm sure "disappointed" is an understatement, but you've got a great attitude and perspective. Their loss, jerks.
You're right--you're young and will be a nurse soon enough. Good luck with everything. Mabes sends a huge squeeze.
(Oh, and I didn't write your essay. I helped. I edited. I revised. You wrote it.)
Ohhhhh little Poops. That really sucks - but just remember, even you said that most people don't get in the first time! Maybe you will get in from the waiting list; if not, you will definitely be in next year. I know it's still a huge disappointment, but it's definitely not the end of the road.
And I completely agree that life never works out the way you thought it would. I mean, I am the most anal planner in the world and yet I've had so many times where I just had no idea what I was going to do. But it has always worked out, so I'm glad you're keeping a good perspective.
Come to New York, and I will give you a hug and a squeeze on the bottom.
Are you freaking KIDDING me? They're idiots. Do you want to be associated with a program like that? I don't know. I guess a waiting list spot is good. People drop out all the time. But seriously, treat yourself extra nicely today and for a few days. You totally deserve to be in there.
Ainsleigh and Donovan send a stink-eye in the direction of the UofU nursing admissions committee. And I, I shall withhold my middle finger to them and use it, along with my other 7 fingers and 2 thumbs and give you a big hug.
I was actually rejected from the accounting program, not even wait listed, but then they called me up and let me in since someone dropped out (or I may or may not have put 'African American' for my ethnicity).
I'm only 27 and can say that 1 year will make no difference in the long run, I graduated 3 years ago and it seems like a couple months.
