provisional acceptance means you are accepted to the program!!, provided you pass the background check and drug screen, and submit other materials i.e. official transcript (if your still finishing up this semester), immunization, ect

Out of my past experience, I would like to share the strategy I have used finally to get into the program. I have wasted my time and money as I was lost in the 'A' game, I meant the acceptance game. It could be easily avoided if I would have tried differently.

Here are some tips that will help hopefuls to get into nursing programs:

1. Donot only focus on your GPA, Try to get good grades like A's. Try not to repeat. Some schools like UT does not like repeats or withdraws.

2. Complete all of your pre-reqs and get Associate first if you do not have Bachelors. That way you would be exempt from TSI requirements.

3. Take all of your sciences at the end, that way they will be up to date. If I am not wrong, some institution do not accept science courses if they are older than 3 - 5 yrs, if you want to use then for BSN after completing your RN.

4. Take RNSG 1301 if college provides. Even though some Universities would not accept pharmacology from other institution as it is considered as upper division nursing course. You have nothing to loose taking this course again at the University because you will see pharmacology throughout the nursing program. As much as you practice pharmacology you will do good in NCLEX exam.

5. Most importantly, as soon as you finish your A&P take the HESI Test, that way it will be fresh in your brain. You will just need to refresh your memory by studying the guides. Use several guides from the library. Do not just depend on Evolve. Keep studying the Vocabulary when surfing the internet. Get a critical thinking for nursing and study that one if your Hesi require critical thinking portion.

6. Get a CNA licence and always have an active CPR. CNA certification shows your interest toward the program. This is your first step of Nursing.

7. Try to work or volunteer at Healthcare facilities even if it is PRN position. It will look good on your status and resume when applying for BSN.

6. Now, apply to several programs that is available and within in your choice list. Donot just count on one program. You will be putting yourself in huge risk. Apply for LVN, RN, BSN by using step by step method. You can proceed to nursing one step at a time or you may apply seperately, if you feel you are ready and complete.

7. Lastly, get used to with stress and time restraint. Stress will be your best friend for a while.

Hope this helps...:nurse: Good Luck!
