To say I worked hard to get here would be an understatement.
Took a little more than three years, broken down into 13 consecutive quarters: 25 courses ranging from high school algebra to statistics, chemistry to microbiology, medical terminology to music appreciation, psychology, english, soc... and everything in between. It all came down to needing a science GPA of at least 2.85. Countless hours studying, worrying, stressing, crying, and celebrating. I can say that I have felt every emotion possible during my journey thus far. I only dreamt of being able to make it as far as I have. I found out my final grade in my final nursing pre req a little more than three days ago. I needed at least a C+. Well, a C+ is what I earned equating to a science GPA of 2.88-- only slightly above the bare minimum. I imagined getting this far would be nothing short of a miracle and that I would feel exhilarated by knowing I DID IT!
I don't feel this way at all.
I feel scared. Actually I feel terrified.
I felt so strong all this time only to be brought to my knees at the thought that I did it and I actually have a chance.
Can't get too excited yet. One final, HUGE hurdle to overcome… Application of intent to enter the nursing program mailed: June 18, 2014… Next step/ final hurdle: the TEAS test.
You can't win if you don't play….
P.S. On the bright side, I got a B in statistics! Pretty darn proud because math has been a big challenge for me in the past :) :) :)
