Thanks Melissa. I appreciate all your help!

Well the only thing is, is my fear of being declined into the program and waiting 2 years untill I get in. Waiting that long, i couldve just went to RIC instead, you know? =\

So what do you think i should do? Get all of my prereqs done at CCRI and then just apply or RIC and go for the BSN? is Caremark CVS? Really i dont want to be waiting forever just to get accepted into the nursing program. What would be the best route? Im getting 31k total from the Army to go to college, so money to me isnt an issue unless i have a huge chunk i have to pay from exhausting that 31k.

Oh wow. Cool! I think thats the best idea. Thank you! :)

So in total to get an Associates in Nursing from CCRI, itll take 3 and a half years ? If i was thinking of advancement in the healthcare field, should i just go for the BA since its another semester worth?

Hi everyone. Im 19 years old, leaving for Basic Training in the Army in 3 weeks and come back in October. I want to get my Associates in Nursing at CCRI but ive heard that the acceptance to the program has changed? That its no longer a 'first come, first serve' sort of thing where as it is now a 'whoever has the best grades, gets in first', atleast that is what i was told. I didnt do very well in High school. I took College Preparatory classes, but i would get Cs, and maybe 1-2 B-'s. I didnt really care too much about High School but now i realize how important getting good grades were. Anyway, Is CCRI like that? Im just afraid of being on the waiting list forever and finishing my pre-reqs and waiting even longer to be accepted into the actual nursing program. Thank you guys!
