So.... I have been at CCRI for about 4 years just in average doing general studies, not knowing what I ultimatley wanted to pursue, now here we are. I have sucessfully completed all prerequiestes per CCRI nursing program however, I only had 162 points with a good HESI score. I also have already used up my 2 attempts for my 4 basic prerequiesites (anatomy, english, math, psych) . I have no more wiggle room at CCRI. I now am looking into what may be best. My gut is telling me St. joes school of nursing, I have heard such good things about it. I also am on the fence about New England Tech Nursing. I just am not sure. I am not sure if I should take the kaplan exam for New england tech and fill out St. Joes app too? NEIT is very intimidating, since it is accelerated. I am a good student (now..lol) but I also have to work a minimum of 30 hours to keep health insurance at my job. I also am engaged hoping to get married by 2020, but if that has to be pushed back, so be it. My education and dreams must come first. So i have looked into joining this forum to see what kind of advice my fellow nursing students may have for me. I am open to HONEST opinions. I am a full time med-tech, and I also pick up as a CNA when needed. I ultimate goal is to become a family Nurse Practitioner. Soo with that said, decisions decisions.
