I want to ask a couple of questions. I attended a nursing school but I did not finish the courses because according to my school, (I think this applies to other schools too) If I fail two nursing course I am dismissed from the program. I really want to be a nurse and I do not mind starting over.

Here are the questions:

1. Do you think it is an advantage or disadvantage for a nursing to accept a student who have taken nursing courses but failed only two of them?(I know the nursing courses will not transfer)

2. Should I tell these schools that I was at a previous nursing school?I want to apply to schools in TX only. My Previous school was out of state.

3.(This might be a hard question to answer) I am working on another degree right now and hopefully I will be done in December of this year (I want to apply for Spring 2008), Is it easier to apply for the Fast BSN track, Generic BSN or Generic ADN programs? I am really concerned about the competitiveness of applying to the schools

I appreciate your replies. I am from Houston and most likely I want to apply to the schools there but I am worried about the competition of getting in. I am thinking about applying to Prairie View, Cy-Fair ,Kingwood College and San Jac in Houston. UTHSCSA and San Antonio College also MWSU in Witchita Falls. Last question...How competitive are these schools?

Re: I need help!

Wow, u have alot of questions! But for question 3, I think Fast track is the easiest as far as getting in. less people apply for fast track so less competitive. Second would be ADN, then generic is the hardest. As for as for schools, my friend goes to UTHSCSA and the cut off is about 3.6 for the generic BSN program. Prarie view varies, I heard some ppl have like a 3.0, 2.8,3.7 and still got in, so I think NET scores come into play there.
