I am a prenursing student too, in community college. I am applying to many schools. I am also applying to other majors, such as exercise science and public health. That way, I will be more experienced when I do go to nursing school. Plus, there are a lot of people going to school to be a nurse, so you have to stay competitive. So maybe you can think about doing that too? Just a thought. I honestly have no idea about your chances, wish I could help with that!

Hello! Right now, I am earning my prereqs at a community college in Idaho. I am a sophomore in college.I am very interested in applying to a prestigious nursing program, such as an ivy league. I am particularly interested in the University of Pennsylvania. How hard is it to get into their program as an out of state transfer? Last year, as a freshman, I got okay grades. I ended with a 3.2 gpa. I have learned my lesson, though, and I am shooting for all A's this year. I know that this is a high goal and last year's grades were low, but if I do exceptionally well academically, will I have a chance of acceptance at Penn? Besides school, I am a CNA, I am the president of a volunteer club, I am involved with student activities, sports, and I volunteer. I am planning on starting a health based club. Will these extracurriculars help me to get in? How can I improve my chances of getting great nursing schools? Do you have any other advice? Thanks!!

I wouldn't give up! I can't offer much advice on this one, but I hope that everything works out for you! Good luck!

Hi! I am finishing up my freshman year in college. I am planning on becoming a humanitarian aid nurse. I am thinking about joining the navy sometime in my career. Should I join the navy as soon as next year? Or should I wait until I earn my BSN so that way I can do more while I am in the navy? Can undergraduates apply for the Nurse Candidate program? If so, how does that work? Thanks so much!

If so... How did you do it? What did you major in? What are you doing now?

Hello! I am entering as a college freshman this fall. I am planning on attending a JC for at least one year before moving on to a university. I am thinking of either attending Oregon State University or Indiana University. Indiana University offers a public health exercise science degree that I am very interested in. I am thinking of majoring in exercise science, and after I do so, I want to find a job in this career as I attend UCLA's MSN program. This program allows students who obtain other degrees to earn the RN, and it also allows students to take a clinical nurse leader exam and the California public health exam. The reason why I want to take this route, is because I have dreams of becoming a collegiate distance runner(I am running for the JC, and hope to run for Indiana). I know it would be hard to do so if I was obtaining a nursing degree at the same time. In the end, I want to work for non profit organizations as a travel nurse. Do you think that this is a good, legit plan? Is this plan reasonable? Any help is appreciated, thanks!
