Nursing School roadblock?

Published

After this semester, I'll have two more classes to take at my community college, which I plan on taking over the summer. (micro and a&p 1). After that I'll be done, and I'll be ready to transfer to nursing school.

However, there's a little problem. The nursing school that I plan on applying to doesn't accept applications after Jan. 1. What am I going to do with a whole year off until Fall 2006, when I can start nursing school? I've taken all the classes I need to and I don't know what else I can take. I already applied to the 4-year university, so if I get accepted there, can I take some classes? Please help.

You can apply now and stipulate the session you intend to join. Many schools hold applications for several months. You might want to add a cover letter to the app that is like a "letter of intent" stating you intend to complete these courses by that time and intend to be enrolled in the "____" session of nursing school. Be short and sweet.

Good luck!

Have you thought about taking other courses that might interest you? Are there any other gen-ed requirements of the university that you applied to? Go part time to the community college and take things that are interesting/fun.

Take other courses like Spanish, get a job or volunteer close to the field.

I plan on the RN-MSN when I am done getting my RN. I looked at the pre-reqs and there were classes I would need to take that weren't nursing based (Speech and Statistics) so I am doing prep work for an eventual masters.

Like others have already said, either take the supporting courses needed to get your BSN, or any supporting courses for your program that you have not already taken.

If you have completed everything, then I don't know what to tell you! You really have your you-know-what together. :) Get a job at a healthcare facitlity...

At my school there are a million pre-reqs plus co-reqs. I will also have completed everything (and more (nutrition, history, etc) by the end of summer, just in time for fall. I cannot wait!!!

Ditto what everyone else said. Also, not sure if finances are any sort of issue for you, but what about just working as much as possible and saving up? I know that most nursing schools recommend that you don't work, and I know in my situation, as well as many others here, this would be a great thing for when that time comes.

Good luck!
