Do you have any other options?

Nursing Students Pre-Nursing

Published

I was talking with a friend of mine who is also a nursing student and we started talking about if not nursing what So I was just curious if anyone has any other plans if you cant get into nursing school or if the wait list is too long if you have any other plans?

Specializes in I'm in on a floating NA team so I'm all.

There is no other option! I tried the other options and I don't like it!!!! I can tell you while I'm waiting to get in I'm going to be working at a hospital as a nurse assistant and I'm also going to be bartending! Saving up that dough!!

Specializes in ICU.

After deciding to go into nursing, I had my Plan A, Plan B, and Plan C.

Plan A (2 yr ADN at a local community college) didn't work out - very long wait list.

Plan B (accelerated BSN program ~50 miles from home) luckily worked out for me.

Just in case something unpleasant happened with Plan B, I was also doing prerequisite courses for another local accelerated program (Plan C).

Do what you've got to do. Make it happen.

My backup plans are to apply for respiratory therapy or radiography if I don't get in! Of course both of those programs in my area are very competitive to get into also so I am hoping for any of the three!

I always said if not nursing, I would become a social worker.

I just want to help people and make a positive difference in their lives!

Hi vlove,

Yeah, if GOD forbid I don't get into ANY nursing school, I am looking into Health admin and or Nutrition/Dietetics, since most of the pre-reqs are needed in nutrition as well.

As far as I know, base on my family and friends and schoolmates, I have never met anyone who has been denied acceptance, as long as you meet the required GPA, which is I believe 2.5 (you can double check on their website) and you have the money or can be approve with loans. It is very expensive.
