Hi all!

I graduated from UNC with a BA in Journalism in 2011 and it's just NOT the field for me. I've wanted to be a nurse for the longest time...even in undergrad, but it was too late to switch majors!

I'm looking into Watts and it's getting me so excited! I'm going to try and go to an information session soon, but I'd love some input.

-Can I take the admissions test anytime? I don't know if I'd enroll in the MO College pre-requisites until next summer. Would my admissions test score still count? When do the pre-req classes at MO start? If I go ahead and take the test, and pass it, then submit my application to Watts, could I start in May of 2014?

-Who did y'all get to do your references? I am about to get my CNA in September, so I'm hoping after a little while working, I can get my supervising RN to write one of them. But I'm stumped about the other two -- it's been a while since I was in college, so I don't know if my professors would agree. And I have great bosses currently, but it's in a completely different field -- magazine writing!

Really any info on how to get the process started, when classes start, etc. would be so so wonderful!!!

:)
