It happened.

This is how the story goes. First off, I want to thank my heavenly father for giving me this opportunity to go to school and further my education. I have learned SO much in this whole process. I got accepted into UNLV's accelerated BSN program. I applied multiple times in Utah 4 times to Dixie State. Once to SUU. Twice to Mohave. Nothing. God works in mysterious ways. I had to take 6 prerequisites and then the first time I applied, I got accepted. Into the best program in the valley. My friend Vanessa in my psychology class and I applied together. It was so nerve racking! I turned in my application on October 31st, pretty scary huh? Haha. THEN I started to hear rumor that the phone calls were going out. I waited all morning...I went to school and I kept updating the allnurses.com website and people were getting called. It was about noon and I had made up my mind that I didn't get accepted. Then I was sitting in my History of Rock and Roll class and a 702 number called me. Chills ran up my spine. I ran out of the class and it was MARY! Just the woman I wanted to call me! She offered me a position in the program. I was so excited. Right after I hung up I bursted into tears of excitement! Seriously one of the happiest days of my life.  I called Cass crying and he thought something was wrong, but I couldn't control myself! Then I called my family and they were all so excited. Cass surprised me and took me out to dinner to celebrate. We went to the melting pot. (another blogpost) I was seriously jittering with happiness all week. I've worked so hard and have been taught so much patience. I hope it makes me a better nurse because I had to fight to get there! There was a total of 140 students that applied and they accepted 48 students. They said it was the most competitive semester yet! I'm so blessed! Vanessa got accepted too! We are going to be nursing student buddies!

After finding out that I was accepted school was SO hard! I just wanted to be done and start the program already. This was me taking a nap during my lunch break.
