Lost and confused...

Now I'm lost and confused! How did you expect to get in ASAP if you get a "D" in one of the most important classes? Wake up, there are no such schools that "aren't so difficult to get into". What'd you think that you'd find a school that would be cool with a 'D' in a science class. CUNY schools aren't difficult to get into. Maybe you just feel like admissions are hard because you're not getting the necessary grades to get in. Do the prereqs, get A's in them, and get accepted....simple as that! You shouldn't have a problem getting into any nursing school if you have the right grades, but honey "Ds" in science just won't cut it. Sorry to burst your bubble.....You may be able to scrape by with a B+. Think you can at least swing that? God help us all if I was ever a patient of yours...

Have you thought about finishing all of your pre-reqs at the (cheaper) CUNY school then transfering to a BSN program if you don't get into the ADN program? Good luck!

Ok, so today I just found out from an advisor at a CUNY nursing program that I was trying to get into that I might not be able to get into their ADN program as soon as I thought. I was planning on entering the ADN program in the fall of this year, but it looks like I'm gonna have to wait until the spring of 2010 . The reason why I have to wait is because I have to retake a Bio course that I received a D grade in and after I complete that I have to take A&P the semester after. My plans were to get into the program and then complete my bachelors soon afterwards but right now I'm thinking about getting into a BSN program even though their are so much more prerequisites than the associates program. Does anyone know of any good NY BSN programs that aren't so difficult to get into and are actually affordable, not to mention programs that don't have a really long waitlist?Any feedback is appreciated. TIA :wink2:

Or better yet taking the course at a community college? You can do that over the summer if you really apply yourself. It will only be one course, and is usually cheaper at a community college or a state run school.
