I am a recent graduate of college and I was not a nursing major. I realized I wanted to become a nurse and have been applying to programs. Problem is, there are very few ABSN programs that I fit the bill for (I am lacking some prereqs that some colleges require). I have applied to a school twice and have been waitlisted twice. What are the chances I could improve if I applied a third time? Or is it just too much? Should I just apply to my other 3 or 4 choices?
Specializes in Maternal Child, Home Health, Med/Surg.
I also agree to do the organic chemistry. I don't know how your program is, but I know out here having EVERY pre-req, or co-req done will put you in a better position than not having it done. :)
My advice is simple: do the prerequisites that you don't have, and apply to every nursing program that you are qualified for in the meantime. As you become qualified for more programs, apply there too.
There are tons if ABSN programs. If you don't want to do the o-Chem, find an absn that doesn't require it. I'm applying to 6 or so school all over the east coast, all fully accredited, & none of them require organic chem.
