Judging from your posts, I believe that you have a whole lot of learning to do before you even apply to nursing school. Your posts border on the troll level simply due to lack of information given while asking for assistance.

We are happy to help you if you are indeed hoping to apply to a nursing school. You must, however, give a few more clues as to your aspirations.

I have a hard time believing OP even has an Associate's Degree.

Obviously not. Your posts are lacking in quality & you need help with comprehension.

We have told you SEVERAL times. We can't predict whether you will get into a nursing program for a multitude of reasons. Also your posts don't include much information even if we COULD help you.

You can say what you want, but you don not know me so dont insult my intelligence. To think your a professional and a nurse.

Oy vey. I hope you learn to read & comprehend people better in the future. Please reread all of the posts on this thread, including your own where you gave us little to no information.

By the way, you have no idea what I'm like outside of this forum. Aren't nurses allowed to not be a nurse from time to time? Plus, just because we're nurses doesn't mean we're angels/saints. We are all people.

To which program are you applying? Chances are none of us attended that program and therefore will not be able to give you a good answer.

Well, your posts are full of grammatical/spelling errors, so I disagree that you communicate well. Your first post was incredibly vague. You asked for help from this community, but didn't make any effort whatsoever to provide the relevant information that we would need in order to help. That does not reflect well on your ability to communicate.

I have at a 3.5 gpa.. i have an associates degree

Im trying to apply to the school that you all applied to.

i seriously doubt you are applying to the same school all 900,000 International members applied to. In my school being a medical assistant means nothing as its not a stepping stone to nursing. An associates in an unrelated area wouldn't help either.

being a medical assistant will not help you get into nursing school. a liberal arts degree will not help you get into a nursing school. what will help you get in is excellent grades in all of the prerequisite courses the nursing school you are interested in requires you have before you apply.

did you take all of those courses, and get As in them all? that will help. do you know if the school you want to apply to requires an essay as part of their application? if they do you are going to have to work on that, your posts don't look like you write very well. your college may have a tutoring program or a writing assistance option.

Have you taken the TEAS or HESI exams? What were your scores? Does the school have a waiting list? Do they use a lottery system into which all eligible applicants are pulled, or is it first come first served?

you have a lot of questions to answer first before you can get any answers that will help.

I think maybe she means she is applying to the same type of school ("nursing") that we "all" went to, not necessarily the same specific school. Still, her question was poorly communicated, in spite of her claims to the contrary.

Yes i was generally speaking. But dont worry i dont want your advice. Nor are you an english teacher. Yes being in the medical field helps you with nursing. I no longer want your input. I applied already..
