Question

Application Anxiety

Right now, I'm applying to 2 BSN programs in Maryland, but I'm kind of nervous. I only have a 3.44 GPA, but with a strong upward trajectory from when I started. I'm taking TEAS this month (I got a 75 and 81 on the practice tests). I also have no experience in the healthcare field LOL... 

Should I apply to more schools? Also, from the looks of it, what are my chances of getting into program?

    Good afternoon!!  Sure, apply for more positions as it might be benificial to you in the long run.  Have you thought about ADN programs?  If there are highly rated ADN programs in the area it might be an option.  If you have been told that you must be a BSN to be hired you were told wrong.  People like me went the ADN route and graduated in a little over 2 years.  I started working and went to an online school for my BSN and received it within 11 months.  I graduated with my ADN and earned nearly 75 thousand in the same time as others earned their BSN.  

    Of course you need to be smart about it but it is very doable.  If you already have your prereqs completed then you could likely graduate in 2 years or less.  Just a thought.  Graduating from an ADN program has not hampered my upward progress as I have my MSN and just started earning my FNP online.

    Good luck.
