Hi everyone! I'm applying for the BSN program for the first time and had some questions! I finished my first two years of prereqs and am currently taking a year off to work as a CNA. I was going to apply last year, but did not meet the requirements for healthcare experience hours. I have been able to work on the weekends and accumulated a lot of hours in time for this upcoming application cycle. My first question is about the resume. They give us a long word count requirement. Should we use this room to explain our experiences under each section and what we learned, or do they want a brief resume with short bullet points? I'm assuming that since it's a longer word count requirement, then we should use the space for more than just bullet points explaining tasks? My second question is about retaking classes. I personally had events that affected me academically last school year which lead to me retaking 2 classes. I am planning to explain the circumstances in the optional statement portion of the application. Since these academic issues came about due to outside circumstances and do not reflect me as a student/future student in their program, will these retaken classes lessen my chances?
