Yes, I believe they have ban program. Do you know anything about it? They have low tuition so I'm not sure how well the school is.

Oh okay, got it. Thanks!

Thank you so much for the info! I will definitely be looking into all of the schools. : ) Also, what did you mean by some schools only giving you a certificate?

Absolutly this was helpful! Thank you so much! I looked into valencia, and there is a 100% acceptance rate (because they go in order of applications, and as long as your application is accurate they'll eventually accept you-you may wait a semester or two if they have many applicants) ---im sure there is a name/word for this but I'm not sure what it is...lol. Anyways , that is only for the ASN traditional track, whereas (like you said) the concurrent program is competitive.

I was wondering what the best schools in Florida are. I've looked into Valencia, UCF, and I am curious about PCC. Does anyone know anything about these schools, or know any nursing grads from them? If not, what Florida schools would you recommend? Honestly, I would be open to any schools in the country, but since FL will be most convenient, I chose it first. Please, just let me know what schools in the US, you'd reccomend, or school you woyldnt reccommend. I'm still in high school, but when I graduate, I would do my prereqs SOMEWHERE (community college? ), but after that I want to get my BSN. ANY response will help me (even a bad experience!), because I don't know of very many schools and I can't tour the country looking for one! Lol

You could always tell them that you're struggling aswell; even if you aren't. Its just a little lie for everyone's good. They probably wont ask you if you tell them that.

Thank you so much for the input, I really appreciate it!

Thank you so much for your reply! So, after completing the prereqs, I could apply to the bsn program, even without any nursing experience? In my area, a university is offering both a bsn program and an rn-bsn program. I'm not necessarily looking for the fastest way, rather, the best way of getting education. I also prefer on ca.pus rather than online learning. A nurse told me that his suggestion would be to get my asn then my bsn because bsn programs tend to focus on the managerial role, while the asn programs teach you to become a nurse. This would probably depend on the college chosen, but what thoughts do you have on this? Thanks again for the reply, I really appreciate it! : )

Can you go straight into nursing school for your BSN (obviously after the prereqs)? Or, do you need an asn first? Is the bsn course essentially the same as the asn course but with extra stuff in it? Or do you have to have your asn before going for bsn? I'm asking this because I'm also wondering why all of the universities I've looked at are only offering bsn courses. Is that a thing too: you can only get your asn at community colleges? Any nurses out there, what do you recommend? I know these sound like silly questions but they're legitimate questions that I can't find answers to. Thank you to anyone who responds! : )
