Soon to be nursing student

Okay well I am getting ready to send in my applications for Nursing schools this year and it turns out that I have two choices. The community college I am currently attending or a private universtity for my BSN. I really want to presue my BSN right off the bat, but I found out last night that I am going to be at the lower end of the GPA and when I called today I was told not to worry so much cause if I am granted an interview they look at the questions they ask me as well as the essay they ask me to write. I have to apply by December 1 to this program. I will take the rest of my classes to finish up my AA in the spring and I would start my BSN program in May. There is no entrance exam for this program. If I choose the ADN program at my current community college I would have to take the NAT. I have taken it before but I found out a month later I needed glasses and my husband had returned from Iraq two weeks prior. so I did not do as well on it as I think I could have. I have one more chance and I just need to bring it up about 10 points, to start in May at the community college the deadline to apply for the com. college is Feb. 1

With all of this being said I feel I am going crazy trying to get into a program can anyone offer any advice?? :banghead:

Have patience, apply anywhere you can, and keep your grades up.

there are usually books to prepare for these types of tests. check the book stores. this is the study manual for the teas test, a different nursing school admission test: http://www.atitesting.com/onlinestore/productpage.aspx?code=61&isproduct=1. it focuses on these areas: math, reading, english and science

  • math covers whole numbers, metric conversion, fractions, decimals, algebraic equations, percentages, and ratio/proportion
  • reading covers paragraph comprehension, passage comprehension, and inferences/conclusions
  • english covers knowledge of punctuation, grammar, sentence structure, contextual words and spelling
  • science covers science reasoning, science knowledge, biology, chemistry, anatomy and physiology, basic physical principles and general science
