Accelerated BSN programs (questions)

Hi,

I want to attend a accelerated BSN program. I am currently entering my senior year this fall at University at Albany in New York and will be graduating with a Human Biology degree in the spring 2013. I was accepted into University of Rhode Island nursing program where I ended up transferring before clinicals started. I have all all of my pre-requisites completed with a C in A+P 1 and 2 ( I know it sucks) B- in statistics, B+ in microbiology, A in psych human development C in chem 1 B- in chem 2 and C in organic. URI didnt curve any grades for nursing students and that is why I have what I have. I will have a year of nursing volunteer work under my belt and a ton of other community service. My overall cumm. GPA right now is a 3.0 but I will hopefully get it up after my senior year. Any recommendations as to what to do to up my chances of getting a program? And any schools that I will have a decent chance of getting into?

Any advice would help because I am freaking out and so nervous!

Thank you so much!

Morgan

    Volunteer is always good.

    Have awesome letters of recommendations. That's always a good thing.

    Some programs make you write essays - start fine tuning yours. Besides the resumes and letters of rec, oftentimes, the essays are your voice and is another way for the admissions people to get to know you (it's another way to weed out potentials).

    Finish up your current degree. Research the accelerated BSN programs. Then apply.

    Good luck!
