And the Craziness Continues

Nursing Students Pre-Nursing

Published

So, I'm still gathering information about entering nursing school. Kennesaw State, which has an accelerated second degree program was my first choice. Then I discovered that I can't even apply until I've completed five math/science pre-reqs. In other words, if by some miracle I complete them all by August 2009, the soonest I could conceivably begin nursing school is Fall semester 2010!!! Is this the norm?

At Emory, crazy expensive though it is, I could apply before my pre-reqs are completed, meaning theoretically I could begin in the Fall 2009.

I had thought about getting an ASN instead of a BSN, but since it will take the same amount of time a BSN seemed to make more sense. No way on earth could I ever afford Emory and the community college nearest me seems to have a rather unsavory reputation, at least here on this board.

Specializes in ICU/UM.

Yeah, that's normal. You just have to keep chugging away.

Testing, trying to see if I can post.

Testing, sorry but I seem to have a problem.

When you apply to KSU make sure you have 7 A's in your completed prereqs...they told me that's what it takes to get accepted. Also, you have to apply about a year in advance for the semester you're wanting to start...i.e. if you want to start Fall 2009, you need to apply by like, September 2008. Good luck! I'm finishing up my science prereqs for KSU right now.
