APPLIED!

I have FINALLY finished my application to the nursing program!! It has been a long journey, but it's done now! Here is a little sum up of my application:

-Impromptu Essay. Go in at 7:45 am and have 50 minutes to write a complete essay from the topics presented. My options: death, integrity in nursing, or someone I am grateful for. I wrote about how I cope with death and how that will help with nursing.
-Polished Essay. I started writing the one page essay in February. Combined, it took about 5 hours to get a rough draft of my essay about experiences that have helped contribute to nursing. Then my parents and I took about 4 hours disecting every sentence until it was perfect.
-Became certified in CPR and Adult First Aid. Had to get front and back copy of my cards.
-Service List. Had to think of EVERY bit of service that I have done in the past 5 years. Not an easy task.
-Resume. Trying to make yourself look impressive on a piece of paper is not always easy.
-Fill out form after form of personal information, right to a background check, etc etc. It took forever.
-Letters of recommendation. Had to get two people to fill out forms for recommendation and had them mail it back to me because it needed to be in to the Advisement Center no earlier than May 12, and no later than May 30. what a pain.

BUT ITS FINISHED!! now I just have to sit around and wait. I'll probably find out one month from tomorrow...............
