Sorry for the long message, looking for help with applying! So after three and a half long grueling years of finishing pre reqs and working full time I can finally start applying to nursing schools. I have literally taken every pre req from stats to psychs to sciences and english's and getting my CNA and so forth. I will be honest in saying my GPA could be way better, honestly I'm just expecting to get declined by every school I apply to because my gpa will be around a 3.2, so I have little hope but am going to apply anyways. So far I know I will be applying to Umass Boston, Umass Dartmouth, Regis, and CCCC since I'm a student there right now and I feel its my only slim chance. So even if your not around the area, what exactly is the application process? I have researched the sites and sent out emails and most require basic things such as common application, transcripts, teas scores, recommendation letters. Is there a specific nursing application I need to get my hands on or do I just send all this stuff in? I know, i know I should be going to schools and asking this question, its just hard working around my 60 hour work week and taking these last three courses, anyone have advice? What was your application process?
