Should I apply to more than one Nursing Program

Published

I will be finishing my last pre req in the Spring of 2018, once I'm done I will apply to the nursing program (TCC). I've heard that the program usually has a lot of applicants and the space is very limited. Should I apply to other schools in the area?

I'm in Mansfield (Texas) which is between Dallas and Ft Worth. I will be applying for a school in ft Worth.....but now I will be applying in Dallas, Denton and Corsicana. All are about 45 minutes to an hour away.

I'd say yes of course! It gives you a bigger chance of being accepted into a program. Just make sure that you check the other schools requirements because every school is different. For example, one school may require the teas, the other may require a Hesi 2A test, or one might require some classes, while the other requires some other different classes. Definitely look up their requirements and check their point system to see where you score best.

Online University | Online Degree Programs | WGU has a prelicensure program in Texas you might want to look at.

If you can, absolutely! It really stinks to find out you didn't get in somewhere and not have any back-ups, trust me.
