I am very interested in doing a second degree nursing program. I went to Drexel for undergrad as a Finance/Econ major and worked on Wall Street. I realized that it wasn't for me and I want to pursue a career in nursing. I recently quit my job and I am taking my prerequisites for an accelerated nursing program. I just applied to HFU for Spring 2016. I'm a little concerned about my chances of getting in to many of these programs because I won't be done with my prerequisites until December of this year. I graduated with a 3.8 at Drexel in the Honors College and I got A's in Statistics and Nutrition. I am also volunteering with an NP once a week to gain some clinical experience. I just started taking Anatomy and Physiology I and II and these will be done by August. I'll be taking Microbiology in the fall and that won't be done until December (only a month before the spring program would start at HFU). I can try to change the Micro class to the second summer session, but it would be a tough schedule. Does anyone know if they would realistically consider someone if the prerequisites wouldn't be done until that late? I will also be applying to Drexel, Jefferson, and Rutgers. Any advice on the subject would be helpful!
