Do you have any other options?

After deciding to go into nursing, I had my Plan A, Plan B, and Plan C.

Plan A (2 yr ADN at a local community college) didn't work out - very long wait list.

Plan B (accelerated BSN program ~50 miles from home) luckily worked out for me.

Just in case something unpleasant happened with Plan B, I was also doing prerequisite courses for another local accelerated program (Plan C).

Do what you've got to do. Make it happen.

My backup plans are to apply for respiratory therapy or radiography if I don't get in! Of course both of those programs in my area are very competitive to get into also so I am hoping for any of the three!

Where is MSMC?

I always said if not nursing, I would become a social worker.

I just want to help people and make a positive difference in their lives!

if i dont get into nursing school (God FORBID!), i was actually looking into getting a BS in health admin or health education. all i know is i definitely want to work in healthcare.

Hi vlove,

Yeah, if GOD forbid I don't get into ANY nursing school, I am looking into Health admin and or Nutrition/Dietetics, since most of the pre-reqs are needed in nutrition as well.

Hi dreamon,

Los Angeles.

Where is MSMC?

we should just apply to MSMC, monkey kiss! im working on my ADN application right now. lol.

were you serious about them not turning anyone away?

As far as I know, base on my family and friends and schoolmates, I have never met anyone who has been denied acceptance, as long as you meet the required GPA, which is I believe 2.5 (you can double check on their website) and you have the money or can be approve with loans. It is very expensive.

Where is this MSMC you speak of:wink2:

Coloradogrl,

it's in L.A. :)

Haven't even considered it, but I suppose I would try to stay in something health care related. Respiratory therapy, rad or ultrasound tech, these things might appeal to me, but one of the main reasons I decided to pursue nursing was for the opportunity to advance myself with the profession. As far as I understand, many of these other technician or therapist positions do not offer this.
