I'm a first year college student but I have just about all of my pre recs because I took a few through out high school. During the spring semester I transferred to a community college for convenience and took up the nurse aid class that was offered. I passed the class and the clinical with an A along with the state written test. However, I failed my state clinical by making a silly mistake. For this upcoming fall semester I want to transfer back to a university. My overall goal its to become a nurse practitioner is it necessary for me to retake the state test to go that route at a university? Do I need to be state certified as a nurse assistant to attend a university and hopefully be apart of their BSN program? I would just retake the state test but i'm not financially stable enough to do so anytime soon but I also do not want this to prohibit me from moving any further towards the program. Please help!
