I Need Guidance

Okay guys I really need some advice on what I should do. I feel like I wasted two years of my life just getting an associates in liberal arts so I could take all my prereqs for nursing and now I'm in medgar evers college and I just found out that in order for me to get my BSN I have to wait two years again to get my ASN another associates so I can be able to qualify to get my bachelors. Now I'm am transferring for a 3rd time at the end of the semester with all my prereqs done due to lack of care that my advisory give me, and I'm just lost I don't know what school to go to or what to do. If there any kind of suggestion of school to look in to around new york city or advice you can give me on what action I should take next it would be greatly appreciated.

Your post is somewhat confusing, but in general, if for some reason you are not accepted to one nursing program, you reapply to that program and/or apply to alternate programs until you are accepted somewhere. It sounds as if you placed all of your eggs in one basket and it did not go the way you expected.

That's awful - so sorry you were mislead. But PP offers great advice.... it's always best to have alternate plans just in case your original one does not pan out. I hope this does not derail you.

I encourage you to always go to the original source for accurate information rather than rely on someone else who may not place as much importance on your best interests. Get your pre-requisite information and other admission requirements directly from each nursing program. Most of the time, this information is on their web site.

OP,

Just one thing about the (nursing program) link. It's a bit biased in favor of the for-profits and I have to wonder why? (first 5 listed)

To get a better overall view of the schools available to you to get a nursing education go to (collegescorecard.ed.gov).

This site is published by the dept of ed with information provided by the schools themselves so the graduation and retention rates listed as well as tuition are valid.

These variables are important as they are great overall quality indicators that will give you the best indication of YOUR personal overall success.

Don't be too frustrated by your present academic detours as there are many folks out there who have come to nursing in an extremely roundabout way.

So from now on when an academic advisor tells you something "trust but verify."
