Pre-Nursing student with the usual concern: not making it into Nursing school :(

Published

Alright, I'm new to the site, so please bare with me. :] I'm currently a pre-nursing student with three pre reqs left (anatomy 2, Microbio, and nutrition) before I apply to Nursing schools around here (Miami) next semester when I'm finishing up. My main goal is FIU which I hear is insanely competitive, but I'm applying to several. I'm freaking out because I am deathly afraid I won't make it! With stats like these listed below, I want to know what you guys think my chances are of getting accepted on my first try at applying. :] Please and thank you very much. I really do appreciate it. If you have any constructive advice of any kind, that also has NOTHING to do with my chances of getting into nursing school, that's welcomed as well :D

  • 3.5 cumulative GPA, 3.8 sciences and math GPA
  • No repeats, and only 2 B's in my prereqs (maths).
  • CNA license
  • 60+ hours volunteering at local hospital
  • Bilingual (spanish and english)
  • Transferring from a community college with an A.A. degree with over 80 credits done (extra credits come from me originally starting college as a different major, then switching into nursing).

Your grades and experiences look great. Congrats :yeah:on your hard work... the only way you will know is to just apply! I understand the feeling... nursing school here in Jacksonville FL is quite competitive as well- I think no matter where you are in the country nursing is a field that requires an incredible amount of dedication and perseverance. You are in the home stretch, and doing great by the sound of it! A&P II and Micro will be used A LOT from what I understand about the first semester of nursing programs so make these last ones count! :) Best of luck! :nurse:

Looks fine to me, but I have no idea how schools by you are looking at possible NS. Apply and see. I think you'll do great. Good luck!

Dont be so hard on your self. you can do it obvs you have the brains to have such a good gpa and your experience.. it might get a little tougher but nothing you cant handle. if you have the drive and motivation to be a nurse and help people think about that to get you thru it and just think about what a great reward it would be at the end... Best of luck :D
