Today was the start of another semester. One of my last two before entering the Nursing Program. I am very determined. I won't overestimate myself and underestimate my classes; that is a sure way to fail. I hope that this semester will be able to help me boost my GPA in order to give me a better chance to get in to the Nursing Program first try and that I will have the knowledge I need to get a high score on my Kaplan exam.
Of course, Colorado Mesa University is making life harder for prospective Nursing students by limiting the number of times you can take the Kaplan to one. Previously you were allowed two times but not anymore. That means I have to study my butt off to be able to do my best on the very first try. I am an inpatient person and I don't think that I could wait even one more semester before applying. My only other option would be to apply to the BSN and LPN Program at the same time, but I don't see how that can be favorable. It seems like it will only add extra time to my plan and will be putting off the future even longer.
On another hand. I am applying for a Phlebotomy position at St. Mary's Hospital. I am hoping to be able to work that, Texas Roadhouse and go to school full time. I hope that allows me to save enough money to be able to move out on my own maybe next year. Or that it'll help me to pay for college after my fund runs out. I am worried about losing my scholarship if I don't get into the program on the first try. I have to keep a 3.0 GPA (I'm not sure what happened to my 3.5 GPA Scholarship) and 12 semester hours to keep my scholarship. So if I don't get in, I either have to take enough classes to keep my scholarship or stop going to school until I get in. Both are terrible because My scholarship runs out at 120 hours (which is about how long it takes to get a Bachelors degree) or if I drop below 12 credits or stop going at all. Either way I'm kind of screwed.
2015 has been filled with a few days full of bad luck but other than that it's been pretty good. I hope that my luck and good fortune continues into the rest of 2015 and that I am successful in getting into the Nursing Program and that my dreams remain within my reach. I feel that if I work hard enough and I am dedicated enough I can get in and accomplish my dreams. With hard work and dedication, anything is possible.
