I just applied to BSN program!

Published

Ok, I am so nervous...I just applied to the BSN program I have been striving for. The issue I am worried about is that they have changed their admission process, and this is the first year they are using it, so you can't go by any past years to get an idea who will be admited.

1. They did away with the "program" GPA and are using your total GPA with all attempts at a class averaged together.

2. A writting sample that will be in February (they gave no hint what this might be) for all who applied to the program.

3. You must have your CNA by registration for nursing classes(june)

They did away with the TEAS because they said they have found a high grade on the TEAS did not predict who would do well in nursing school.

I have a total GPA of 3.56, and I just have to hope this is enough to get me in.

Hey!

Don't worry too much about the GPA; you've done all you can on that issue!

Don't wait until the last minute to do a CNA program; get it out of the way as soon as possible!

Start writing every day, review grammar, read well written publications (a mentor suggested The New Yorker), and know the rules for citations and quotations front and back!

I'm wishing the best for you! Good luck!!!!!
