Applying to multiple nursing programs?

[koalas]

Call me dumb, but I have no idea how to apply to more than one nursing program. I'm taking pre-requisites right now, have yet to take my TEAS and next year I'm taking some more general ed classes to get out of the way so I would like to apply for Spring or Fall 2016. I go to a community college in NJ.

The competition is intimidating for nursing school and at this point I'm going to end up with a B+ in anatomy and physiology II. I got a B in anatomy and physiology I, and my gpa is at a 3.64 so I want to be able to apply to a lot of nursing programs so I have a better chance of getting in somewhere.

So how does it work, applying to different programs from a different school? Cause I always hear people talk about planning on going to another school or applying to multiple programs and I really want to do that. I know at my school I had to attend a nursing information session to get my application, so would I just have to do the same thing for other colleges?

You have it. You approach each school and do what they require to apply. There will be costs involved. They will require that you send transcripts, etc. One at a time, look at each school and do what they request. Then wait. While you are waiting, you can continue with any outstanding required courses or other courses for the next degree.

You need to make sure that you have the prerequisites for any other school; not all schools have the same prerequisites. Once that is squared away, you have to sign up, pay any admission fees, do the orientation, possibly meet with an adviser,l and have your high school diploma and transcripts sent to the school. This has to be done for all the schools you plan on attending. It can get quite costly and time consuming if you apply to a lot of schools, but you increase your odds on getting accepted.
