Lutheran School of Nursing admissions help!

[Ramblin'Rose]

Hello everyone! I'm hoping to find some LSN students that can help me out here. I am still really confused about their admissions process. This semester I am covering my psychology, sociology, algebra, english, and I'm only missing biology. I called the admissions office and I am going in to take my exam on March 26th. I was going to complete my admission profile at the end of this semester once I have completed my classes. I was told that I could apply to the nursing program for the spring 2015 semester at the end of this semester, and apply to complete my biology course on their campus this fall. This is where I'm confused, will they accept me into the nursing program without the completion of my biology course as long as I complete it this fall? I'm extremely excited here, and I'm worried I'm getting my hopes up. I always thought that you had to complete all pre reqs. prior to applying?

I am also considering enrolling for biology this summer at the college I'm at now, so that I can give proof of enrollment to apply for the fall nursing semester? Has anyone ever gotten in on that short of a notice?

Hi, I'm not an LSN student yet, but I'm currently in the middle of the admissions process. Now from my understanding its easier to get into the actual nursing program (taking nursing courses) if you take some of your prereq's there first. For instance, since you only have biology left to take, you would take that class there during the fall and then start your first semester of the RN track in the Spring of 2015. If you don't take your prereq's with them you may be waiting a semester or two before you can start nursing classes. For example, I applied earlier this year, but I already have all of my prereq's done so I can't take those classes with them. I won't be able to start school with them this fall because the RN track and wait list are full, so I may not be able to start until the spring or fall of 2015. My advice would be to take that last prereq with them this fall so that you will have a better chance at starting the actual nursing program in the Spring of 2015. If I'd known this before I would have taken my prereqs with them instead of at another school. To answer your question: no they won't accept you into the actual nursing program before completing prereq's, but they will accept you into their pre-nursing program. This will allow you to finish your prereqs, and then you would most likely start the nursing program the semester after you finish those prereq's. Hope this helps!

Hi, I completed my application to LSN last year. My file was complete as of June 2014. I was told the board will meet this week and applicants will know something by October! I am so nervous I cannot sleep! I also have every last prereq and GEN ED complete. I am REALLY READY to start now!!!! I even purchased my nursing fundamental books so I can get a jump start! I hope to see you both in Jan 15 session!!!!!
