Getting into a nursing program? Please Help!
I am a second semester freshman at my state's university and I have a 4.0 GPA. My university's nursing program is extremely competitive. There are over 600 applicants a semester and they only accept 30 people a semester. Even though I have straight A's I know I will not be able to get into the nursing program because not only do you have to maintain a 4.0 GPA you have to get a near perfect on your entrance exam and have a ton of hospital hours. First off I'm a really bad test takers so I know right off the bat I wont do well on the entrance exam. Also I can't obtain any hospital hours because I'm too busy trying to maintain my GPA. I want to transfer to a different school after this semester is over because I don't want to continue wasting my time trying to achieve something I know is damn near impossible. Is there anyone out there who can help me out? I know every university has a competitive nursing program but are there any that are less competitive than others (preferably ones that don't require chemistry as a prerequisite)? Basically are there any universities with nursing programs I'd have a realistic chance of getting into? If not are there any accredited private institutions that are not that expensive or at least offer financial aid where I can go to get my BSN? I know this is asking the impossible but is there any chance in the world I'd be able to get a BSN within a 4 year time span from an inexpensive ACCREDITED school that wont require me to take chemistry? If so which school? All suggestions are appreciated!!!!!!!!
