Looking for a School!!

Published

Hello All,

I am currently living in Michigan and considering moving to kentucky to go into a nursing program. Since I am not familiar with the area I was wondering if anyone could give me some suggestions on what types of schools to look into. Also are there any waiting lists for the programs there? If you could provide any information at all I would greatly appreciate it! Thanks so much!! :bowingpur

i got to EKU in Richmond, KY..it is one of the best nursing schools in Kentucky. they have a BSN and ADN program..as well as RN-BSN, ABSN, and MSN. there is no wait list at EKU..you apply either in October for Spring Semester or March for Fall semester..and depending on the program you should know the outcome anywhere from a few weeks to a month or two. the school does require prerequistes..if you are applying to BSN you are required to be a sophomore with 3 prenursing classes and most of your prereqs completed..the adn is a little different. it is a competitive school with competitive programs but the passing rate for boards is like 98% (or something like that). there are many hospitals in the area that we do clinicals through and we are within 30 minutes of Lexington, KY.

I am in the adn program, first semester! but i work in the nursing skills lab so i have had a lot of exposure to bsn students, msn students, prenursing, faculty, etc.. Other good schools i have heard of in kentucky are University of Kentucky and University of Louisville.

I live in Lexington and I am currently attending BCTC to complete pre-reqs and have applied for admission into their ADN program. I am also applying to EKU's ADN program. I already have a BS, but my GPA is not good enough for an accelerated program and also I will be working while going to school, so the ADN is an easier choice.

I go to JCC I will be graduating in May with my associates and I thought it was a good program. I dont think there's a waiting list but you have to take the pax to be admitted. The tuition is reasonable also. I would say getting your associates first is the way to go and then u can do the rn-bsn which is what I'm about to start soon.
