Nursing Adviser

Published

I talked to my school adviser about a week ago and asked see if I am good standard to apply for nursing program next June. She said I have enough points to get accepted. My school uses point system based on GPA, TEAS score and extra point by taking A&P 1,2 which I took already. I have 47.5 out of 50 and she said 47 or above is usually get accepted. But I am wondering about if I am competitive enough or not even tho adviser said I am good. Is usually what school advisers say streight forward? Is there any people who asked adviser before applying program? Did she or he say truth or false?

Why would a school advisor lie to you? Why would you even think that?

That's what my husband told me too. I don't know why. I tend to think negative way sometimes.... ok. I'd better start to stay positive:) thanks.

Hi there! We can all relate to the stress and worry about getting into nursing school. I always trusted what the advisors told me, but the problem is, it just depends what other competition applies at the same time as you. I think I had 47 as well if I remember correctly (It was 9 years ago, so I sort of forgot). But all you can do is hope you did enough to get in and keep trying each time until you do get in! I didn't get in the first time I tried (but I knew I wouldn't because I didn't pass microbiology), so that time I was #10 on the wait list. I re-took the test, and did as much volunteer work and whatnot to increase my score as I could, and I got in the second time I applied. So do your best, and it will happen eventually, just try and keep the faith!! And try not to stress (easier said than done, I know!) :) From one fellow nurse, to one that will someday be a fellow nurse, good luck!!
