Thanks everyone...it looks like for me the RN-BSN program will be harder then getting my ADN. I do really well in classes like chemistry and anatomy & physiology but it takes a lot of work for me to do well in classes like english where you have to write papers...I am not a strong paper writer. Whatever though I want my BSN and hopefully a masters so i guess i'll have to do it. "Where there's a will there's a way" and I have "will"...haha

Hi everyone, I am currently going to community college to obatin my ADN. I was excepted into some universities for nursing but decided that I'd rather save money and stay at home and then get my BSN right away from a local state school. The only bummer is that I will not get into the actual nursing program until fall 2011 because they base it off of your grades. But when I am in the program ill only be taking actualy nursing classes because i'm currently doing all of the englishes and anatomys and what not. What I am asking basically is getting a BSN extremly hard? Here are the classes: NURS310 Professional Nursing Perspectives NURS325 Nursing Informatics NURS330 Primary Prevention in the Community NURS340 Nursing Care of the Family NURS420 Nursing Theory NURS430 Secondary Prevention NURS440 introduction to Nursing Research NURS460 Nursing Leadership NURS470 Tertiary Prevention What kind of work is it? Is it more writing and research type papers or what? What are your experiences(for lack of a better word)?

Hey guys I just found this site and I love it. So my ordeal is that i'm trying to get into nursing school and I just can't. In high school i did poorly i had a 2.9 gpa so right now i'm attending community college as a general ed major because thats what i was told to do to get into nursing school. But i've been there for a year and have a 3.6 gpa but still cant seem to get into a good nursing school. I want to work at Mass General in Boston some day so I want to go to a good school...i know it doesnt really "matter" what school you go to but lets face it, it does when you want to work at a top hospital (i know i probably get my dream job off that bat). Also I have 28 credits. What i dont get is if i have an A average in college why cant i get into nursing school? Why is it so hard? Also what was your experience with school? Did you go to community college? Community college and then transfer? I wish nursing wasn't my dream job because i would chose something else as a career but it's my passion...i've done multiple internships and shadows so yes i do know lol. Also i want my BSN and eventually masters. Please just give me your opinions and what not. Thanks
