Got good advice from Wan today "Don't let anyone steal your shine." I've got to write that down on my bathroom mirror or something. I let other people's negativity and buttheadedness get to me too much.
I had an annoying "appointment" with the FCCJ School of Nursing Advisor today. I was under the assumption that it was a private appt between me and her.(did i use that form of me correctly lisa?) I showed up at 9:30am all dressed nicely with questions prepared and everything. Yea, the bozo schedules group meetings and it was me and like 10+ other nursing school hopefuls all crammed in a conference room. The advisor showed up TWENTY minutes late and then proceeded to just read aloud the nursing school brochure. That is my pet peeve - when professors spend the first day of class reading aloud the syllabus. Hi, just give us the syllabus and let us go home and read it in the comfort of our own living room.
Anyhoo, it was a really annoying meeting and she basically spent the entire TWO hours talking about how hard/difficult/impossible/time consuming/competitive the program is and then ended the meeting with how there is a slow down on nurses being hired and then topped it all off with admitting that their NCLEX (nursing school boards) pass rate was 85%, which is not great. The meeting did open my eyes that their program is not as easy to get into as I had thought. I've been ass-u-me-ing that it would be my fall back school, but after looking at their requirements today it's not gonna be that easy.
I want to be at UNF so badly. I hope like heck that I'll get in, but in the meantime I need to chill about FCCJ, eat some humble pie and remember that I will be at the school that I am meant to be at.
