Hi,
I need some advice! Nursing is my passion, it's the only career for me. If I'm not a nurse .. well actually that's not an option. Anyways fresh out of high school I got accepted into currys nursing program with an awful financial aid packet, some of you may know how expensive the school is and how crucial it is to hopefully get a good financial aid award. So I, now regretting it, turned the offer down. I instead went to UMass Boston as a health science major. Completed my first year and then when going back for my second year, again financial troubles arose causing me to take a year off. I'm going back this fall, 2014. But I'm a little lost on what to do about my nursing dream. I plan on applying to UMB's nursing program as an ICT. I took my teas and scored proficient. I'm hoping to get in, PRAYING that I get in. But I wanted a back up plan. What should I do if I'm not accepted? Continue going to UMB, take classes as a health science major & apply again with hopes of getting in? Or go to a CC & take pre-reqs? Or any other ideas? I'm pretty open and willing to try and do anything to make my dream become a reality!
Thanks in advance :)

Today I called around for application information and info session details for BSN at college like Curry and UMASS...they said they haven't accepted transfer student in a few years because so many people are applying and they accept their own students first. If I were you i would stay put because if you don't you might be stuck with an associates degree program, and them RN to BSN in the future.
