A lot of nursing schools are asking if anyone attended nursing programs before. Do they really check these applications? 0 Likes
JJL618, RN May 1, 2017 As far as I know, yes. I was in nursing school back in 2005. Didn't pass one class, so I switched majors. I'm now going back. They ask if you have ever been in nursing school before. You have to provide a letter of good standing plus they have your transcripts, which will show the nursing classes you took. It's a big no no not to disclose this info.Or am I totally missing the gist of this question? Edited May 1, 2017 by JJL618 0 Likes
nalie2, ADN, BSN, RN Has 1 years experience. May 1, 2017 I don't know if there is any way to check if you started a nursing program at another school. Honestly though, I would be truthful because the last thing you want is to be close to graduating and the truth comes out. 0 Likes
WanderingWilder, ASN Specializes in Med-Surg. May 3, 2017 If you are using financial aid they will see what colleges you have attended and can require transcripts from those schools. 0 Likes
Extra Pickles May 4, 2017 A lot of nursing schools are asking if anyone attended nursing programs before. Do they really check these applications?Yes. Be sure to be completely up-front about anything requested on the application, as the last thing you really want is to be dismissed halfway through because of something on the application that YOU didn't think would be a problem but your school did. 0 Likes
