Didn't get admit into RN program

Published

:scrying: I somewhat feel discourage after receiving a letter with "We regret to inform you that you didn't get accepted into the program." I didn't get in because my score was too low. I need at least 30 additional points. My low score was due to the fact that I didn't do well on my NAT test. How do they expect us to do well when the test timing was faster than speed of lighting? I still have another shot and already bought some exam review books of ebay.com, planing to study my butt of hoping that it pays off at the end. I'm one of those desperate people who won't quit until they get what they want. But I do feel discourage and at the same time defeated. Is there anyone who had gone or going through similar to what I am experiencing right now? Do those review books help to bring up your test score? Are they helpful at all? If it is/was, how many points did you get from using it? Thanks!
I'm not sure why either but I was told no I can't take BSN before RN. It's the other way around so they said. As right now I only have one class left for RN pre-reqs and all general ed classes for the RN. So if I am accepted this september all I have are nursing only classes. I don't have to take or deal with anything else. I wish it's that easy to apply anywhere but based on my geographical region, it elimates and takes me away from that option.

I suspect that your school has an RN to BSN program but not a BSN program that is good for initial licensure. There is a local University here that is like that...RN to BSN is all they have so you have to have your RN before you can get your BSN.

However, about 1 1/2 hours from here there is a University that has a true, BSN program where you can take everything. Yes, you can most likely transfer what you already have from your CC and take what is left.

Hint: Get your Associate degree from the CC. Many, many Universities that are located in close proximity to Universities nowadays, if you have your AS in General Studies, will accept that as fulfiling all of your General Education requirements in lieu of doing a course-by-course transfer.

Thanks all for your wonderful advice, and no, TrudyRN, I'm not offended by what you have to say. As matter of fact, I do need to work on my spelling, because I can't spell for crap, lol. Besides arithmetic is another area I need to pay particular attention on for I haven't done anything with math for quite sometime.
