Do you have to complete all pre-reqs before applying?

Nursing Students Pre-Nursing

Published

Hello,

If I apply to nursing school I wouldn't be able to complete all pre-reqs before applying.

But by the end of the Spring and before actually going into nursing school I would complete it.

My planned sequence for next year is Fall 2013 (this is when I plan to apply) Anatomy 1 + Microbiology then in Spring it would just be Anatomy 2.

Thanks.

From what I've heard of people trying to get new grad RN jobs in Cali, I don't know if it's really wise to stay there and pursue nursing. I think you might be better moving elsewhere. And I don't know of any schools around me where a 3.4 GPA wouldn't get you in :X. California nursing school must be rough!

Hello,

Yes it is hard! For one of the most popular schools here they have a 5 year waiting list and you literally need MIN. 3.7 for a BSN. It is much wiser to purse an ADN here then BSN actually (if you started on track). I talked to my counselor and he says if I pursued nursing right now it is a complete gamble.

This is why I am getting my bachelors in another degree first and then going back for a nursing degree.

For my pre-req I got a C in English and C in general psych and this was during my "bad" semester. After that semester I never got another C again, but these 2 classes have really affected me.

Btw, which school areas Amnesty?

I'm in south Georgia, the Albany/Valdosta area. Valdosta State University has a BSN program (though I'm not sure what their generic track entry qualifications are -- I was going to be a fast track b/c I'm a current Bachelor Degree holder), and Darton in Albany just started a nursing program as well. Several of the tech schools have LPN programs, and there is one community college in the area with an ADN program.

If you live in California now, you'll probably find south Georgia to be a lot of a culture shock, though, so think on that before choosing it as a location! (Especially because while I've been told by numerous people that there are jobs to be had here, unlike in most places, they are RURAL area hospital and LTC jobs!)

Oh thanks!

What kind of culture shock, may you explain it to me?

Over here, there are many different ethincities and races compared to others! So I will probably be very suprised. And is it dangerous over there?

I think by culture shock they may mean more like it is a slow life compared to cali. They isn't much to do here in south ga
