pre-nursing student looking for advice on where to got to school

[Jho003]

I am a 20 year old male pre-nursing student in Bryan Texas. I currently have a 3.5 gpa and am have a 3.0 in my pre-requesites. I am about to apply to nursing schools in Texas and two in New York City. I was wondering if anyone could give me any advice? One side of me is pulling to get an associates degree from a community college and the other is going to a 4 year institution and getting a BSN. If so what college would you sugest for either community or university? I am like a stem cell waiting to be pulled in the right direction any advice would help!!!

Hi! I live in College Station and am also debating on where to apply. Since your GPA is pretty good, overall and pre-reqs, my advice is to go for the BSN. You will get better pay and from what I here, an easier time finding a job. Are you thinking about applying to TAMU Health Science Center College of Nursing? Have you attended one of their info sessions? I attended one today and am considering the accelerated track since I already have my Bachelor's. Do you want to stay in Texas or move to New York? Though Blinn has a good nursing program, you could receive your BSN in just about the same amount of time that you would your ADN at Blinn.

Hope this helps some! Let me know what you decide. It's nice to hear from someone locally!
