Applying to 4 ABSN programs in CT but im scared...

Published

Hey guys I've spontaneously decided that I want to become a nurse. I'm graduating with my bachelor's in biology this Spring. I'm just nervous bc I know how hard it is to get in and if I don't get in IDK what I'll do. I've already applied to Fairfield. I'm also applying to Scared heart, Quinnipiacs, and university of bridgeport's program. If anyone has applied to these schools can I get a quick rundown of your GPA if you got in? I have a 3.2 overall GPA with a 3.5/3.6 pre-req GPA with no healthcare experience :( 

Specializes in pediatrics, ER, education.

The ABSN programs are accelerated and will be harder than a traditional program just because all of the knowledge you learn in nursing school is condensed and courses move faster.  These programs can be difficult for students with no medical knowledge.  It is possible to be successful, but it is more difficult.  A traditional program may feel more manageable (ASN or traditional BSN).  And if you do not get in and still want to pursue nursing school, you could spend the time before the next admission cycle working as a nurse tech and repeating some of courses with lower grades to improve your GPA and gain some experience in the medical field.  

Hope this helps,
