Denied......

Nursing Students Pre-Nursing

Published

....and back to square one :uhoh3:. I thought I had it figured out, what I was going to do if I got denied and now that I have been denied, Im unsure once again.

My options:

-keep applying for the bachelor's program while taking classes that will help me and improve my knowledge and gpa (will I eventually get in?)

-transfer to a tech college and begin working on my LPN and apply again next year for the bachelors (If I want the bachelor's degree in the end anyway, would it just make more sense to do the bachelor's instead of the LPN, RN, and RN upward?)

-apply to other bachelor programs (every school has different pre-reqs for the nursing program)

-change my major

I'm confused and stressed! Yes, I'm young (21) but I don't want to spend 8 years in school, only coming out with a 4 year degree. Please help!!! I don't have much time to figure out what I'm going to do. This probably wouldn't be as much trouble for me if I wasn't so indecissive. This is one huge decision that I have to make ON MY OWN and it's going to determine the rest of my life. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!!!

P.S. Do RN's deal with the same things as CNA's do as far as working short all the time and having to be mandated?

I just found out today that I was denied!! *Bummer*!!!

It was for an Associates program. My Plan B is to take 16 hrs. this semester and 12 hrs. in the Summer and apply to 3 BSN programs for Fall. I have already complete all pre-reqs for the ASN...I feel like it is a never ending process.

Don't get discouraged. The only difference between an ADN or diploma RN and a BSN RN is there is more prerequisites involved with BSN, but the pay isn't different (unless you're a nurse manager). Since you have all your prerequisites, I would just go for the ADN or diploma for now, and once you're an RN, you can always go back for the RN-to-BSN program later. Have faith, and good luck!
