Questions for all nursing students

[Loren2]

I am in pre-nursing right now, but i figured this would be the best place to post a few questions. I'll be applying to an AS program soon, but really want to get into a BS program. I'm just very afraid I cannot make it and its the only bsn school in my area. If I get accepted into the AS program I think I should take it because I don't wanna wait a year and get rejected from the BSN program. I am just very nervous...as you can probably tell :chuckle. I was wondering for those of you who did get accepted to A BSN program, what was your GPA, work and volunteer experience? Any adivice on getting in would really be appreciated.

I heard of one woman who, while she was in ADN school, worked as either an MA or a CNA (I forget which) for the hospital she ended up working for when she graduated. Not only did she get help with education costs, when she went to work, she had that much more seniority!
