HELP! classes expiring this year!

Published

Hi guys, so I'm seeking GENUINE advice....

For the past two years I have been applying to nursing schools around the South Bay. Mainly to LA Harbor, LA Southwest, and Cerritos. My sciences expire this year and once again I didn't get into any of these schools. I can't apply to most colleges because they have a 5 year recency reqmt and this is my 7th year now. I would like to retake them but based on my research, most schools only accept one retake even if it's just for recency. Meaning if I retake all 3, no school will accept me from what I researched.

My question is, should I just go private like west coast university or Stanbridge? Do you guys know anyone who had a good experience because all I see are the horrible posts.

Before anyone asks, the reason it took me so long to apply was because At the time I wanted to pursue other options and also because I had a baby and had a very tough pregnancy/delivery/recovery. Any insight is appreciated.. Thank you for reading til the end.

Is this for CRNA or RN programs? Perhaps this belongs in a different thread. This is for Nurse Anesthesia students/prospective. But I am facing the same issue for grad schools coincidentally lol. Good luck!

If this is for an RN program, please stay away from pricey for profit universities.

Have you tried applying for LVN programs as well. You can graduate in a year and do a bridge.

YES! You should go to for profit schools. They will get you thru as fast as possible.

Bad bad idea. Don't take this advice.
