Hi, I am a sophomore student at CSUF and my major is health science. I'm interested in obtaining my bachelors in nursing after because ultimately, I want to be come an RN. My gpa is fairly good for now but I still have sometime to raise it. My plan is to graduate with a high gpa and after (hopefully) be accepted into an accelerated nursing program . Some questions that I have are for anyone that has been in the same situation as me (second degree bachelor students). How did u prepare for applying to ABSN schools and how early did you start stressing out about getting accepted? How did u do your research in applying at schools and how many did you apply to? Which schools do you think are cost efficient, higher acceptance rate, or nearby California (willing to move out of CA)? I understand these are pretty broad questions but I just wanted to ask because I'm curious about the process and how to prepare for it. Thank you to anyone that answers! :)
