Now that all of my school applications are submitted, I don't have much more to do but wait. I'm glad not to have the apps staring at me anymore, daring me to revise my essays one last time. For the nursing programs alone, it's all out of my hands. For the combination BSN-CNM program....
I got an interview! I got an interview! What what? An interview!
This is good news, it means I've passed the first round of the application process. Hopefully I will prove my worth and make the final cut. I'm still quite nervous, though. I had an interview last year that I felt went pretty well... but I never made it off the wait list. This year will be a little different. First of all, I only have one interviewer (last year I had 2). The gods shined down on me and assigned me the program director - who not only interviewed me last year, but also we had a meeting in August that I arranged to go over last year's app. She was pleased and impressed by my initiative.
Secondly, in addition to the interview there will be a "welcome dinner" hosted by faculty and attended by current students. I'm really excited about this new addition. No matter how hard I try, I get nervous during interviews. I know this is pretty normal, but I often wonder whether I'm able to demonstrate my true self through the stuffy, nerve-wracking interview session. This dinner will give me another chance to make the faculty love me and beg me to be their student. :)
This all goes down on Feb 5th. After that, it's all about patience...
And sitting on the stoop waiting for the mailman every day for four months trying not to pull out all my hair and grind my teeth down to little smooth nubbins and gain 50 pounds from stress eating and, well, you get the picture (ew, sorry about that picture.)
