I am applying for the nursing program this fall and I'm taking the nln exam at the end of this semester and I am beyond nervous already!!! I hope to have 22 points by then, but I am so scared of not getting in! Does anybody knows what was the cut off last semester???

Just saw all the replays today! Thanks everyone, you guys really helped me making my decision!

No the letter pretty much said that I won't ever make it to their nursing program. They said that it is unlikely that I would be able to change my major to nursing because the program is always full. The funny thing is that they offered me a full scholarship of more than 30 thousand dollars to any other major, so I am so confused if I stick to the school I am right now and try to get into their 2 years nursing program or change school and major! Sooo confusing! Anyway I didn't mean to take your topic offer but I just needed to talk

Congratulations.... I got my accepted letter today. I was super happy when I read Congratulations on the letter, then happiness turned into frustration when I read "congratualation you been accepted at our school, unfortunately you did not meet the minimum requirements for the Nursing program, but we are happy to offer you other programs" Story of my life....Anyway congratulations... I just needed to vent!

Hello everyone! I need some advice because I am torn between 2 school. I am currently doing my pre requirements classes at Goodwin college and I only have 1 more semester before I can Apply for their nursing program and I have a good chance to get in. I applied at Saint Joseph for their nursing program because I wanted to go for my BSN instead of an associates in Nursing, and I got accepted but not for the Nursing program. They gave me 20 thousand dollars in grants and I can pick whatever major I want to except nursing. I am so torn, because I really want to be a Nurse but Saint Joseph is a great school and I will basically go there for free! I need Advice please... What would you do in my place?

I am going to Tanzania, Africa in April, and I did I lot of research before my I made my decision. There are a lot of companies out there that take students to volunteer in different countries, but the price that they charge is outrageous! I decided to go with International Volunteer HQ. They so many different options, and the prices are more realistic. I've talked to volunteers who went with them and I heard nothing but good stuff. Check out their website : Volunteer Abroad | International Volunteer HQ They also have a facebook page with more than 16,000 members... there, you can talk to other volunteers and ask about their experience. Log In | Facebook Hope I helped :)

Thank you everyone ....I feel much better now :)

Congratulations!!! Hope I will have the same luck :)

I love community colleges. The one that I was attending in NY have one of the best nursing programs in the State. Unfortunately, I had to move

Thanks for the replies everyone:) I've already taken all non science pre-requirement classes, including 3 semesters of Spanish, which will cover the languages classes. I was majoring in a different program in another school so I got a lot of classes done, with many that i don't even need for nursing. I got A in all classes if that would help me get into a University....My only worry is this grade for A&P.

Hello everyone, I have always been a straight A student, but this fall semester I took A&P I and I got a B-. I am extremely disappointed. I was just wondering what was everyone's grade for A&P 1, and also do you guys think that I can get into a nursing program with a B-. My overall GPA for the semester was 3.6. The school that I am attending right now only offers ADN programs and I am thinking about applying in a different school to get my BSN, but I wonder if this grade would be enough to get into a University. So my question is : do you guys think that this would be anough to be a competitive candidate? Thanks :)

I'm on the same boat as you. I am thinking about transferring to a different school to get my BSN, and I have to write a personal statement as well. Having English as my second language, I am not that confident in writing essays, therefore I am FRIGHTEN! Wish you luck :)

My school is very competitive, although it not that great of school. I read a lot of complaints of graduates from my school here at all nurses forums, and I am kind of disappointed. My school offers only ADN programs, and I am seriously thinking about transfer to a University to get my BSN. So I really need to improve my grades. I don't know how is the process to get into a BSN program. I wonder if I have to apply for the pre requirements classes then apply again for the nursing classes or its all in one program. Im am so confused and worry that I can't barely sleep at night!!!

I know a B is not bad for a science class, but I wonder if I got only a B- on A&P then what will be my grades for the nursing classes which are much harder. I am bit discouraged, but I won't give up just yet. Thanks for the encouragement :)

I am studying twice as much now for A&P II, but I am starting to wonder of I am cut out to be a nurse.
