To answer your questions, I've copied/pasted them in this note and my responses follow them:

going to chat with that head nurse will only get you mired into more trouble..niko....getting into the nursing/medical field is hard. Yes, you're damn right it is hard.. The interesting part is that my acceptance has already been 'accepted' and the interview was just a 'going through the motions' type ordeal. I took the entrance examinations and I passed with VERY excellent scores.

and they were wrong to not look at your academics. but it is possible that they had already looked and knew what a great student you are. They requested us to bring our transcripts bcuz they have not looked at them already. They were needed for the interview so they could get an 'overview' of our past performances academically. So no, it is HIGHLY unlikely that they had a shred of our academics when they did not have access to them without us bringing them on the day of the interview.

being worried that you would "go off" in a nursing situation seems to be relevant. TOTALLY AGREE!!! This is why i'm so stuck between a rock & a hard place.... My own honesty has caused WAYYYY too much of this drama and if I just lied and said I was nothing wrong with me, I guarantee that things probably would have gone differently

professionalism is just as important as grades. dealing with patients comes first.....because, if you have the grades to get in...then that is what they will look at...

could their response not been as severe as you think it was? Thought about this one too... However, given I had my two roomates/friends there, they have more/less 'vouched' for my take on the situation. The three of us cannot be wrong; I was the brunt of some 'mockery' session bcuz of my honesty w/my disorders.

niko, you're smart and you do want to go to nursing school. perhaps their responses looked worse to you, due to the good old butt biting disease of depression, etc. I agree again hun... While I'm in a HUGE low right now, chances are I am taking this harder than I should be. However, Erin feels the same way I do and she does not suffer from anything like we do. It just impacted me alot more than it did to them so to speak.

how about letting it rest for a few days and regroup and decide what to do........those head nurses can really be ----- and don't like their authority to be questioned....i'm sure that she wasn't looking at you so much personally, as she was looking at your responses. Sounds like a good deal to me, pending I have nothing better to do... It would probably be best to let it 'rest' for some time before I go in with both-barrels so to speak!!!

you know i'm here Same here darlin.... I'm here for you as well and will do whatever I can to help you as well - Niko

.......the PC gremlin ate my response to your PM........love, pat
