Getting into a nursing program? Please Help!

Nursing Students Pre-Nursing

Published

I am a second semester freshman at my state's university and I have a 4.0 GPA. My university's nursing program is extremely competitive. There are over 600 applicants a semester and they only accept 30 people a semester. Even though I have straight A's I know I will not be able to get into the nursing program because not only do you have to maintain a 4.0 GPA you have to get a near perfect on your entrance exam and have a ton of hospital hours. First off I'm a really bad test takers so I know right off the bat I wont do well on the entrance exam. Also I can't obtain any hospital hours because I'm too busy trying to maintain my GPA. I want to transfer to a different school after this semester is over because I don't want to continue wasting my time trying to achieve something I know is damn near impossible. Is there anyone out there who can help me out? I know every university has a competitive nursing program but are there any that are less competitive than others (preferably ones that don't require chemistry as a prerequisite)? Basically are there any universities with nursing programs I'd have a realistic chance of getting into? If not are there any accredited private institutions that are not that expensive or at least offer financial aid where I can go to get my BSN? I know this is asking the impossible but is there any chance in the world I'd be able to get a BSN within a 4 year time span from an inexpensive ACCREDITED school that wont require me to take chemistry? If so which school? All suggestions are appreciated!!!!!!!!

gee-what stress you have placed on yourself and you do not even know if you have been rejected. There are PLENTY of schools. Can you move to another town? Use the energy you have spent on worrying to find out which schools are taking aplicants. The chemistry thing is not a big deal, as you can learn that if needed. You are smart so why throw yourself under the bus? Your objective now is to get into school. Worry about the rest later.
