Nursing Program

[tremainerossyion]

Should I apply to an RN program if:

-withhold a BS degree

-made just below the entrance exam score for nursing

-completed all prerequisites for nursing program

-works/worked in healthcare field for several years

-has 3 letters of recommendation from LPN instructor, LPN coordinator, and supervisor

-started the LPN but was not able to finish the last 2 semesters

The school accepts their students based on a point system. As of 4/13/2016 they have only received 33 applications. The program will only accept 40. Applications are due 4/18/16 at 4pm.

I completed the whole application just notnsirenif I should turn it in or not. This school is was my first choice if accepted.

I have also applied at several other schools for a back up plan

If you don't meet the minimum requirements for the program, it doesn't make sense to apply.

That's what gets me. This is a new program, the first class graduated this May. Last semester the program accepted students that made lower than what I have with not type of experience and were still accepted.

Did they have the same requirement(s) last year? I would think a new school (especially) would be concerned about their graduation and NCLEX pass rates. If the requirements are new, that may be why. If they're not new and they accept people who don't meet them, they should just get rid of the requirements.
