I will let you be the judge if this is wrong or right? I thought about going for my BSN instead of ASN and I got some shocking information today about a BSN program. I always thought nursing was just like any other program and anyone could go into it if you had good gades and SAT score. Today, someone told me their university requires senior students take the nursing entrance exam and if you don't take it by their senior year than they can't go into nursing. Another words, they are only accepting younger students into nursing. The way it was explained that even if I got my ASN I couldn't finish my BSN there. I am confused about the requirements for the nursing program. I really don't care but it seems this is age discrimination in some ways. It's great to keep high standards but age has nothing to do with keeping standards high. My question is if I finish my ASN, will it be hard for me to get my BSN and anybody ever heard of this rule? All BSN program this way?I thought most universities and colleges went by SAT, GPA and interviews. Our ASN program chose students by SAT, Anatomy/Psychology, and GPA. :stone

I still haven't decided on a major. I want to go into either nursing, teaching, computer engineering, or business administration. I visit here alot and enjoy reading everyone's threads. I heard nursing is very stressful and alot of nurses are leaving the field because they have to deal with hospital administrators, doctors, other nurses, rude patiences, and etc stuff. What is the most stressful thing about your job? How many people are leaving nursing and what field do you want go into ? I really want go into engineering software but my friends said the field will burn out but I don't think so. I think technology/computer jobs will always have jobs.

I started my prerequsite classes at community college in Janurary. It has been tough trying to be a mom and go college full time. I want to go into nursing but afraid it will be too much for me since I have a daughter and work part-time. Our ASN students has 19 1/2 hours of classes each week. I was curious many hours do ya'll go school each week? I looked into different colleges and all the nursing programs are full time. our community college is only twenty minutes away so that we work toward my advantage. Oh yeah one more question we have 4 days of labs but at the bottom of the of schedule it said week 6-14 will include 12 clinical lab hours which be arrange at beginnging of class so lab and clinical lab hours are not the same thing???????

dsczephyr Thank you for your information. I understand tv is reality. Do you think 32 is too old to go into forensics ? I know some fields require you to have certain eye sight and I read DOL they didn't want you to be over 35. I'm curious why you change from criminal justice to nursing. well, thank you for your help.

I am still doing my prerequiste classes. I have thought about going into nursing for over a year now.It doesn't bother me to change bed pans, sores, etc but I don't want to do it everyday so any suggestions? I hope you don't take that wrong because I worked as a cna and got burned out very fast doing bath, feeding, etc.. I am looking into BSN, MSN and forensic science programs. What kind of jobs are offered if you get your Masters in nursing? ain't nurses with bachelors head nurses and over the deparments and do management jobs. Can you get your MSN without going into BSN. Appreciate any advice anybody can give me. Thanks

I am interested in studying murders, deaths etc. I thought the forensic Nursing would be interesting. What is the differences in Nurse forensics and criminal Justice Forensics? I appreciate it if anybody can give me any information.

I beat limitations by studing hard, and I usually make A's or B's in all my classes. I think my biggest worry is being discriminated against by the teachers or the teachers being hateful because i am alittle different. I went to lpn and dropped out because I felt like the teacher was so going faill me even if i passed. well, thank you for all the encouragement. Which program would be easier to do, BSN or ASN? thanks for your help.

If somone worked in nursing that is deaf than I shouldn't have any problems because My eyes and hearing are good. I have looked into other fields, and I always felt nursing or teacher was the only things I would like to do.

If I have a disability and applied for disability will it hurt my chances getting into nursing program. I have a hard time writing my papers in an hour without errors and think I have a little disability but nothing major. i am getting better in my writing but I need to take English 1 & 2 and take the regents exam.I am at a community college, and I would like to transfer to a university. I have a speech impair. Am I wasting my time trying get into nursing program or should I do something different? thanks! Sorry , I was taking about a learning disability. I learn fast but not quiet as fast as others plus I have a speak slight speach impair so didn't know if it hurt my chances getting into nursing school. I think some of my problem is confidences in myself too. Thank you for you help.
