WSU Nightmare

So I ended up getting into the bachelors program which I wasn't to excited about. It was very bitter sweet, I'm so in need of a break yet not everyone in my class got in so who knows if I'd be able to get in again. It is the accelerated one so I can do it in 3 semesters and be done next December. This education thing just keeps dragging and it really gets me down. I just want to go back to having my family and living a normal life. I feel like life has completely stopped while I'm in nursing school and everything is on hold till I finish, and now the date is prolonged.

I've talked it over with many people and the majority say to just push threw and finish it. It would be really hard to go back to school if I stop, I had planned to when my kids (most of whom aren't born yet) got into school. Many girls have reassured me that it is nothing like nursing school, no clinicals or full time schedules. It is mostly online with a few clinicals but everything is very chilax. So me and my little family are going to continue. I still plan on working as much as I can and the job I have will let me go straight into and RN spot once I take my boards. Lance also said that we can start trying to have another baby once I get my RN license (we'll see if I can even pass the damn boards). So that's that. Life will slowly continue.

Another interesting nightmare was last week when DATC called me and said they were trying to put in my final grade but WSU was saying I wasn't registered for the class! Weird especially since I just took the final. I called them and indeed I wasn't registered. They ended up figuring out that someone from registration had accidentally dropped me out mid-semester. They backregistered me and posted my grade. The next day I get a call from the cashiers office saying that I had a new balance of $690 for the class that I had registered for. Long story short, the girl had dropped me after the 100% tuition reimbursement date and now I had to pay for the class again - even though they were the ones that dropped me in the first place.

I was livid!

I talked to over 10 people at that damn school and all of them gave me different story's. This was last Friday and nothing was solved so I figured I'd wait till Monday to deal. So Monday the Cashiers office calls and leaves a voicemail saying that they had sent me to collections which tacks on $200 fees as well as drop me out of all my Nursing courses for my last semester!!! Who does that? They said that I had to pay ASAP in order to continue and to accept my position to the bachelors program. I finally bitched my way up to admin who insisted I was reimbursed but she would cut the bill in half and take off the $200 fees. I ended up paying $340 and had to call registration to re-register me for classes. Then I had to call the Nursing program to explain what happened so they would still accept me into the program.

Talk about pain in my ass and stress that I don't need huh?

I seriously can't believe they made you pay when it was their fault completely. I would have fought that one tooth and nail. That makes me soooo mad!!!
