Help with Charlotte NS applications for FALL '15

Published

Hello,

In HS I had a 3.78 GPA and went off to study animal science at another school before i realized i wanted to be a nurse. I recently completed my BS at NCSU with a 2.9 GPA (not so good) and I am enrolling in a CNA class that will finish in march. This way I can have medical experience before i apply to schools (CCHS, Cabarrus, CPCC & Mercy). I am very interested in going to Carolina College of Health Science but I have a few questions::

1. The pre-nursing track guarantees admission with a 3.25 GPA from 4 classes HOWEVER I have a 3.36 GPA in 3 out of the 4 (a&p I&II, college math). So does this mean I shouldn't bother with pre-nursing track and just go for ADN??

2. Since i completed a science degree already, will I have to retake any of the other classes for general ed. (i.e. ive already taken micro, soc, eng, and psy). -- should this give me a better chance??--

I also plan to take the TEAS exam for Mercy and CPCC but want to know if anyone has advice on what else i need to do before completing applications for FALL 2015. I know i have a year, but time goes by fast.
