Trying to get into RN program

Hi everyone!

I need some advice... so happy I found this particular form. I live in Wenatchee, WA. This is embarassing, but... I have applied to WVC nursing program twice now and have not gotten in. I have a pretty decent GPA... my lowest grade being a C+ in A&P 2. I have a B- in A&P 1 (really struggled with those classes.. WOW.. never gotten grades that low in my life) a B+ in Microbiology (only because I took it with A&P 1) and a solid A in English 101. Those are the only classes that WVC really weighs your admission points on....

I understand the program is really competitive. I retook A&P 1&2 and of course, gave it my all once again and got the same grade. I am an excellent student.... like I said, that was my first C.. EVER! My transcripts show this.

I was just wondering if anyone else in the state had a hard time getting into their program and if you had any other luck with other colleges. I'm also looking at CBC in Kennewick/Pasco as well as Renton Technical College (also considering their surgical tech program, but I rather do RN school before that). Been really struggling with my rejection lately...... is there hope?? Would like to hear some stories from other fellow Washingtonians. Not looking for the easy way out here... just some hope!

    I woud definitely go the BSN route. You already have an AA, so it would take you about the same amount of time as an ADN to finish. If I had to do it all over again, that's the route I would have taken. More opportunities, and many hospitals are starting to require it.

    Did you have the same instructor both times you took A&P? Maybe that was the probem. If not, you need to figure out why you didn't do well. If A&P was that hard for you, nursing school is going to be difficult for you too. That's why the A&P grade is weighed so heavily to get in to the program, you need to have a firm foundation in order to succeed.

    Amraebrown...out of curiosity, did you ever get into a program, and which one? I am also applying for WVC; was rejected once, trying to retake (for a second time) A&P 1...unfortunately the first time I took it I took it online from another college and got a "D", and as you know they take off extra points for retaking anything under a "C" grade. I will be applying again for fall 2014. I am however stuck here in the valley because I had a daughter and family and job and couldn't just apply and go to any other college like you have the opportunity to!

    Run away from this YVCC nursing program. It is a intimidation, discrimination, and rudeness place.

    You won't learn any thing from YVCC nursing program. You are on your own. No support. No review after exams. No extra points. No make-up quiz. No extra point for any assignment. No homework. No study guide for pratice for exam.

    What they have for you are lecture and exams. Don't expect exam follow the lectures.

    They weed out students that they dislike.
