Junior in college...should I go to Ivy Tech or apply for BSN?

[jetaimeparis]

I'm doing pretty well but I just want to gradute asap and make some money.

I've been thinking about applying for BSN at Nursing schools in several campuses and several others but stumbled upon the idea of

Community Colleges.

I have almost all of my pre req's finished but with a 3.3 I don't know if

I could get into BSN program.

Any advices? Anything will be very much appreciated.

I really have no clue as to what LPN is and etc...

I believe when you applied in 2003 that not all campuses were standard in the way they chose canidates. My School did not even require a TEAS in 2003.

I believe as of last year all were required to switch to a more standard procedure for selecting canidates. Points are given for each pre req by grade, and the TEAS score is figured in to rank the canidates. Also, points are given for attending region of residence. I believe all Ivy Techs now it do this way.

It sounds like FW when you went did not have their act together.I understand why you would be somewhat bitter about your experience, but I don't feel it is fair to hold against Ivy Tech for what they have since fixed. Making things more standard across the board allows for more fairness in the system. FW campus may be totally different then when you were last there. Just my .02

I live in Northwest Indiana and I know the Ivy Tech's up this way have a very poor reputation. Nurses who work w/their students or their graduates talk about how poorly prepared they are. So just because their NCLEX pass rate may be high doesn't mean it is a solid program preparing nurses to be nurses once the RN is behind their name.
