And it feels so good. This is so long overdue but I’m back,
ready to make this blogging experience an ever constant part of my journey
through Nursing School and beyond. So much has happened since the end of 2011
and beginning of 2012. I lost one of my Mother’s, yet gained a wonderful family
in return, I got accepted into Nursing School at Roxborough Memorial Hospital
School of Nursing, and got wait listed after being dissed at my first choice –
Abington Memorial Dixon School of Nursing (F*ck You B!tches, PAY ME!). All in
all, things worked out for the better and so my journey through Nursing School
begins.
Fall Semster 2011 was hectic and crazy. I was losing my mind
over my Chemistry course, yet passing with flying colors in my online Diet
& Nutrition course. I had to take the TEAS exam again because I finally
decided not to put all my eggs in one Nursing School basket. This was my future
I was juggling with so not getting into a school was not an option. 2012 had to
be the year, it was all or nothing. So I had to study for my CCP courses which
I needed to pass in order to be accepted, and study for the TEAS exam which I
also needed to retake in order to be accepted, and get not one but both Nursing
School applications prepared for submission January 2012. Did I mention it was
also the holidays so you know parties, families, craziness in general.
One thing I have come to understand is that no matter how
well your machine is running, one monkey wrench can set you back to start. The
Incompetents (the name I use to describe the Admissions Coordinator and the
Receptionist at Dixon School of Nursing) informed me that they would not be
processing my application because my transcripts were never sent. After a good
15 minute debate (they lost, ALWAYS KEEP PROOF) I was finally informed that
they “accidentally” shredded my transcripts and would need a new copy of them.
Of course this was two days before the application deadline! WTMF?!? Are you
serious?!? If I were a real B!tch I could play the Race Card and say they tried
to hinder me because I’m a minority or a Jew (hey I have a Jewish last name)…but
alas I’m not that much of a B!tch, and I hate when people try to play the Race
Card.
So I went to my Admissions interview at both schools,
Roxborough called me in before Abington and accepted me on the spot, while you
could cut the tension in the room with a knife during my interview with
Abington. June 13th is when I hit the ground running. I’m excited, I’m
scared, but overall I am ready for the rest of my life to begin.
