I've applied to an upcoming BSN program (didn't know that this year) to unfortunately find out that I'm too late, and it's booked. My parent's got on my case for being a lazy bum, and I agree. It was my fault for applying late, and I'm fueling my inner fire to get on top of my application process this upcoming year. The problem is that I'm lost on where to apply. I'm currently attending a local CC and I got most of my prereqs out of the way (As and Bs). I'm going to improve my GPA this last semester and apply once again to some nursing programs on time! The thing is, I feel like I'm shooting in the dark on where to go. My dad is willing to use his GI bill on my future, so I'm aiming at schools offering a large amount of $ to reduce tuition costs. I wish I had Yoda sitting on my back guiding my way to nursing school, but I have to be the pilot in charge. One more thing; it's summer and I'm thinking about volunteering at a hospice to better my chances in getting into a nursing program. Does it matter if I volunteer at a hospital or hospice? -Thank you!
