Today I met with my nursing advisor for a quarterly check-up. I asked what the chance was that I would get in being #1 on the waiting list. Her response was "I'd be very shocked if you didn't get in"! She seemed very sure, but said it could be a long wait still before I know. She said most likely at this case, I'd get in when a Transfer Student dropped out. Transfer students are most likely to drop out because they realize how expensive SPU is and/or they get accepted somewhere else and choose to go there.
There was one thing I learned that worried me, I thought I just had to get a C in microbiology and be fine, however I must get a B- in order to keep a 2.75 gpa in my nursing pre-reqs. I just got my first exam back and failed it...which really saddened me because I was so ready and certain I had done well on the exam. She assured me it would be okay and recommended I get a tutor from the Center For Learning on campus and to make an appointment with my Professor and talk about things. I immediately left the appointment and headed to the CFL and then to email my Prof!
Luckily the exam was just the first one and we still have 3 exams (all worth 100pts each) and a huge poster project that is worth 120points. Plus other miscellaneous points available in smaller amounts. So it still is very plausible I just have to do it.
I also learned that I most likely won't be able to go on the cruise...that deeply saddens me. I'm really bummed, but this is more important and I hope my parents take me on a cruise when I graduate! Who knows maybe Grandma will want to!! I will talk again with the Nursing Staff once I get in and talk about it again with more details and information. So I guess there's a small chance but very little. Oh well...this is my future, and I need to just do it and get it over with!
