Hey there, first off thanks for taking the time to reply and ease my nerves a bit! Secondly, when you applied to the ABSN programs did you have any experience working as a CNA or anything like that? I do not so far but am currently trying to find a CNA classes that will work with my university schedule, next semester.

Hello all, I'm here because I'm a senior in college and I'm considering applying to an accelerated nursing program in the future after I graduate. I will be graduating with my Biology major and Chemistry minor soon with about a 3.4 gpa (Although with some blemishes on my transcript which required me to retake some classes). Up until recently I did not know what I wanted to do after graduation but recently decided, after talking to a few nurses and healthcare professionals, that nursing is something I would like to explore more. However, after doing some research I realized I would have to take anatomy and physiology and do not have adequate time to do so in my course schedule before graduation. Because of that I was considering taking both courses at a community college to save money. But I've heard from some people that taking those courses at a community college is universally frowned upon by admissions boards and may diminish an applicant's chance of getting accepted. I was wondering if anyone has any input or has had any experiences with something similar to this? Any input would be greatly appreciated and thanks in advance!
