I suggest a different field than nursing. There is too much at stake with patient safety to entrust to someone who is looking for "easy" as a major criteria for school choice.

If it really is your dream, then you'll find a way to master the math and other difficult course matter.

You also need to improve your written English, as it is abysmal. Yes, that does count.

deyonce, my CC didn't require any of that and I got in on the first shot. I'm in NYS.

However, I had a lot of credits, a lot of sciences, A's in everything except statistics and price theory (math is my bete noir).

Look into the CUNY CC's. Medgar Evers, LaGuardia (I think), I don't know the others. Google "CUNY nusing" and see what hits you get.

And good luck.

Also, you CAN do LPN first. There are vocational schools in NYS that might even pay for you, depending on your financial circumstances.

RU kidding? You can't mean easy to get through...there is no such school. Nursing is hard, thoughtful work. People's lives are dependent on the nurses ability to prioritize, evaluate, and understand what is happening to their patient. Any school that was easy would be suspect in my book. If anything the CC classes tend to be harder on their students than the BSN programs in clinicals. They are always better prepared than their 4 year cousins.

Just make sure this is what you want, and that you are prepared. Sometimes to an outsider it doesn't seem that the nurse is busy, during a shift you are responsible for human lives, and indirectly the lives of those patient's families. EZ, is definately not part of the word nursing.

I had this same thought, too, but I don't think that's quite what the OP is asking. I think she was asking about schools that are easier as far as admissions goes...

Good news, bad news, I suppose. The good news is, looking for a school with less stringent admissions requirements doesn't necessarily mean you won't be a good nurse. The bad news, however, is that you're not really likely to find what you're looking for. To sum up what several others have said, schools have high admissions standards for a reason. You can either require more from incoming students, and have a higher graduation rate, or you can accept everyone with a high school diploma and a few pre-reqs and watch most your students drop out because they are under-prepared. Basically, all those hoops you have to jump though are ways of determining whether you have the skills necessary to succeed in a particular program. If you are unable or unwilling to meet these admission requirements, then you were probably unlikely to make it all the way through the nursing program, anyway.
