Statistics Prerequisite for Frontier School

[Doodleit]

I am wanting to apply to FSMFN for the December 2009 class and do not have a Statistics class. Do I need to have this before I apply for the ADN-MSN Bridge program or have it before I get into the program. The due date for applications are August 2009.

hi Todd, I successfully applied with the portfolio process and started this winter. It was a great opportunity to get "credit" for my experience. It saved me a lot of $$ and time as well. The application process took a while- I spent a long time working on the essays- all told, probably 2 months from starting it to submitting it. I took stats while waiting to hear-- before Frontier Bound, but after submitting the application. There seemed to only be 2 of us who entered the program this way during my Frontier Bound-- I am not sure if more people did not go through the application process, or if they did, but were admitted to the Bridge instead. I think it was more likely that people did not apply to it. Good Luck!

If you don't mind me asking what type of Bachelors did you have? I am thinking about applying and I have a Bachelors in Psychology and and ADN (graduated with honors for both degrees) with 3 years of nursing experience in Med/Surg, Maternity, and GYN. Also, I know by the time I apply my Statistics course will no longer be good (over 10 years ago in May 2010). Do I have to take statistics before I apply or can I apply and just take it before Frontier Bound (that is if I get in)? Lastly, do you have any advice on how to strengthen my portfolio? I feel like I don't have very much to speak of, or I am just not thinking of things that would count. Any advice you have would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
