Hi, I currently have my LPN and am 1 clinical away from getting my RN-BSN. I have all the rest of my credits passed with As and clinicals passed with satificatory rates from my college. This semester I landed with a clinical instructor who is known to fail people on the last day of the clinical. She really got in my face when I was trying to spike an IV antibiotic and as result I "failed" to perform the task properly and as result my "clinical judgement" and "technical skills" are lacking therefore I got an unsatisfactory in clinical. Any way, I may be able to retake the course again if granted re-admission to my school but I am thinking of back up plans right now. I got my LPN this summer just to gain some experience but now I am extremely glad I did. I never envisioned being in this situation. I have excelled well in all my other clinicals and classes. I just want my RN and begin working. If anyone knows any good online programs that take most of transfer credits and have reviews/or advice would be great. Thank you.

Hi there. I just saw your thread and it is 6 days old. Ok, my first advice is to call CSU-P to speak with an adviser. Apply to the school as fast as possible to take care of all your financial aid information. Now, I am currently a pre-nursing student at Colorado State University-Pueblo. This program is great because it is a Bachelors. Do you have any college credit already? If so, then you need a minimum of 23 credits to apply for the program. If not, then you are just going to start out doing your pre-reqs. This last 3 semester. The pre-reqs include Eng 101+Eng 102 A History Class SPCOM 103 A Social Sciences Class (i.e. general psychology) Human Development (PSYCH 151) 2 Humanities (1 Foreign Languages+Another of your choosing) Math 156 (Statistics) Bio 223+223L (Anatomy and Physiology 1) Bio 224 +224L (Anatomy and Physiology 2) Microbiology Be prepared to study your heart out. The lowest GPA that typically gets in the programs is around a 3.45. More than half the students have changed their majors this year. Always have a back-up plan/school. I am pretty sure my grades rock enough to get in but my back-up is still PCC, OJC, or CTU. To answer your question as to when you apply: it is every spring so typically it will be the second semester of your freshman year. Not everyone gets in though. You may have to retake classes if your grades are not high enough.
