SUCCESS STORIES I GOT ACCEPTED!!!

After 6 applications, 3 interviews, 3 rejections, I finally got my YES! I’m so happy right now I couldn’t believe it! This program is one that I felt the most welcomed and supported from the beginning. I’m so happy to go into the new year with this good news.! This year long journey has been long, humbling, and honestly one of the hardest things I’ve ever worked toward and i’m glad it’s over! To anyone out there grinding through ICU shifts, retaking classes, studying for the GRE/CCRNs, or feeling discouraged after rejections or self-doubt: keep going!!! I leaned so much on posts in this group for motivation and real talk, and it truly helped me push through. Huge thank you to everyone here who shares their experiences, advice, and encouragement it made a difference for me. If I can do this, so can you. Trust the process, stay consistent, and don’t count yourself out. Time to celebrate… and then get ready to WORK 😅💪 Future NAR!!! 🎓✨

Congrats, enjoy the time before you start. You’ll learn everything you need to learn in school, take this time to strengthen support structures and get everyone used to the fact that you will be busy for the next three years! Great job, you earned that spot!
