Pre-Reqs Plan!

Greetings everyone!

I am new to this site, and am not sure if this is the correct forum. Any who, I have aspirations to attend nursing school! This has been a dream of mine for years, and I feel I am very close.

Ultimately (waaaaaay further down the line), I would like to become a NP concentrating in mental health :-)

Okay, so here's two options. I can apply to a couple 2-year RN schools here in GA, while rushing into completing the pre reqs and possibly get accepted fall 2017.

Or, (this is my decision as of now) I can wait to complete all of my pre reqs, starting next fall 2017 (7 classes total) and apply to several nursing schools for fall 2018.

I am currently finishing up my BA in Psychology, and will graduate next summer 2017 (Yippeeeeee)

I have a family, and am working part time, so I figured the smart and practical thing to is not to rush the process and take my pre reqs after I graduate next summer. That way, I have time to volunteer, work, and build my science based knowledge. I want to actually retain what I learn in my pre req courses, and not just take them to receive credit! Waiting will allow me not to feel rushed...

Any thoughts?

    I took my time with prereqs - it took my 3.5 years to complete them. It made it far easier to get a 4.0, after which I had no problem getting accepted to my first-choice nursing school.

    Slow and steady can win the race.

    Thank you! That is what my thought process is as well. I currently have a 4.0 and would like to keep it as long as possible. I'm 27, so I believe it is okay to wait until it is truly my time. :-)

    Again, thank you. It is encouraging seeing someone who took their time, and did not try and rush through everything. This helps me a lot!
