Hi mray, Thanks for the response, just finding the right program is feeling like a struggle right now but I'm sure it's out there. Can I ask what program you were accepted to? Thanks! Sarah

Thank you for the feedback! I definitely plan to cast a wide net as well, knowing that these programs are so competitive. Great advice on the volunteering piece as well, I volunteer at a children's hospital and it's given me an opportunity to gain a greater understanding of what pediatric nurses do (and of course it makes my application stronger). Thanks for taking the time to provide your advice!

Thanks for the feedback. There are so many programs with so many small caveats to their prerequisite requirements it's just frustrating. Such is life though!

Hello, I am currently in the process of choosing which ABSN programs I'd like to apply to. I have a great prerequisite and overall GPA (3.8) but I'm running into an issue.. Although I have most prereqs done already, it seems like each school throws in one or two that I don't have, like pathology or medical terminology. I'm already working on finishing A&P (while working) and I can't take every other possible prereq at the same time.. I'm wondering if there is a search tool that can help me find programs I am already qualified to apply to based on the prereqs I've taken. Does any one know if such a tool exists? I know that the application process will be lengthy and tedious, I just didn't expect the searching process to be so labor intensive. Any helpful hints having to do with how to conduct my search are very much appreciated. I'm so excited to become a nurse, I'm just less thrilled about the hoops I have to jump through in order to start the work it will take to become one! Thanks! Sarah
