@ Bianca Z: I graduated from CCC this January! And I don't think you can finish Drexel's program any sooner, for transfers they have 3 or 4 year option depending on how much co-op you want to do.... I was looking for a program i could finish in 2 years, but without any luck....

@ lauranurselaura, no problem, i hope it helps @ lindu007, I don't think it's too late, and I think you have great chances! There is a lot of people that get accepted to few schools and of course they can attend only one of them, so I am pretty sure they still have a lot of openings! From what I found out, transfer students can complete the BSN program in either 3 (1 co-op) or 4 (3 co-co) years... I was at community college for 5 semesters... I will try to get my bachelors in the next 3 years with the 6 month co-op. I was hoping there is a way to complete the program it in 2 years, but i guess I was a little too optimistic.. oh well.... @LauraBnurse, I just moved to PA from South Jersey.... over there Rutgers and Rowan have great nursing programs. Here, in Philadelphia (from what I found on forums) a lot of people chooses Thomas Jefferson University over Drexel or Temple.... In my opinion all of them are great schools, with great programs. Temple would save you some money since it is not a private school, and tuition is much lower than the other two. Personally, I think that Drexel's co-op is best for me because it puts you right in the field and lets you get some experience, which you already have! well... at the end it is up to you how much you take out from the program also, I applied to Widener University (Chester, PA) and got in without a problem (it was supposed to be my back-up plan), and I think their deadline is sometime in May... They also offer you a nice transfer schoolarship ( they offered me more money than Drexel! ) Something worth considering...

Thank you! :) I was trying to find some info on their website but unfortunately couldn't find anything.... Most of the nursing programs i looked at had a 3.0 requirement for admission. I'm pretty sure that your app will be taken into consideration with 3.0 so definitely give it a try, especially that the online application is free! :) I graduated from a Community College this january with 3.6 GPA. i was a pre-nursing major. i'm not sure about your pre-reqs... but call their admissions and they will answer all of your questions :) Also, this guy was very very helpful, he answerd all of my questions! here is his contact info: Fran Engelmann,Assistant Director Application Management (College of Nursing & Health Profession) Drexel University Enrollment Management 3141 Chestnut Street, Main Bldg, Room 212 Philadelphia, PA 19104 Phone: 215-895-6731 Fax: 215-895-1285 email: [email protected]
