I got IN!!!

I was accepted into the RN program here, FINALLY! Of course it was to the much further college, Sandhills but STILL I was accepted! I am still waiting to hear from Fayetteville Tech's program which is about 10 minutes from my home. That won't happen (finding out) until May. I am pretty confident that I will be accepted there too but you never know. My dilemma is this, Sandhills has a wonderful RN program and the people there are SO helpful. They call me at least once a month to make sure I am on track with where I need to be. They are VERY clear on the rules and regulations that go along with their program too. The only downfall is that Sandhills is 45 minutes to an hour away (depending on traffic). From the schedule that I remember viewing from last year, I would be traveling there about three days a week. At least it's not M-F but yikes, it is still a lot of gas being used driving back and forth.  Now, Fayetteville Tech (the first school I applied for the RN program this year) is the much closer college and they have a great success rate for their RN program but I have had nothing but difficulties with the people who work there. I have had to work my BUTT off to get to where I am right now. I waited about 6 months to FINALLY have all my classes transferred there and then a few more months later, the classes were posted on my transcripts. That was done after I had called, emailed, and went down and spoke to the "right" people. I applied for their program last year as well but my science classes that I already had, were not enough. Every other college that has a A.D.N. program (outside of NC) has higher, college level requirements that include Anatomy, Physiology, Chemistry, and Microbiology. I have ALL of those classes and Fayetteville Tech requires lower level Biology (high school level) along with high school level Algebra (which i do have from H.S.) as their prereqs. So, because of the H.S. biology for which I did not have because I decided to take a Marine Biology in H.S. I got screwed cheated out of being in category I which is the category that students would be chosen from ONLY for the A.D.N. program. Seriously, how messed up is that? So guess what class I took last Spring? Cell Biology for which I ACED because everything I ever learned in any of my college level science classes was a repeat in Cell Bio...DERRRR! So, here I am now, with every.single.class that this college could ever want from me for this program, waiting to hear if I have been accepted. If I am not accepted, than I will know that it is NOT the right school and Sandhills awaits me. =) That is the update for now and as soon as I find out more, I am sure to post another blog.
