What to do in the mean time of not getting accepted into RN program?

[thiscatscheesy]

I'm in a panic mode right now, due to the fact that my grades aren't at the highest peak I want them to be in. I'm looking into several programs to apply to besides Century, of course. So, as in a back up plan I need your feedback on what to do in the mean time of not getting selected into any of the programs? Should I just keep working? Retake classes? What do you suggest? I have no kids, and could possibly just work as a CNA, but wanna hear what you all have to say....

I was planning on going to St. Kate's as well, but they denied me for the ADN because of a failing grade from 3 years ago and I had a W from a year ago. They told me I could reapply in 2015. At the same time, the Bachelor program accepted me and then a week later sent me a letter stating I could not enter their nursing program from the W and failing grade from the past. I wouldn't put all your eggs in one basket. Check out other places as well. Good luck!!

A&P and Micro. I'm retaking them but I'm going to try to apply to a community college this year.

You should check out the BSN program at National American University (NAU) in Bloomington, MN. My friend applied there and she got into the program, easily. Her TEAS score and GPA was decent. Check it out and see if you like it. It is a private small school. However, I believe the application process is already done and students have already been selected. If you have more questions, let me know. =) Hope that helps!

I took the A&P 1 there wanting to get into the program but I didn't like the school. Thanks for your help though! :-)

I too am getting ready to apply at Century and North Hennepin. As I am coming from out of state, I could not take the classes at either of the schools for preference. However, the school told me it is only worth one point in their point system, so I am confused as to how it actually plays out.

I am looking into all the options, including apply for LPN programs at the same time so I have a program to start next fall. Any thoughts on St. Paul?

Thanks!

I went to an info session on St. Kate's Mpls. campus ASN program. They accept you into pre-nursing to get your pre-reqs done and the math req is different than other schools. I'm looking into getting some pre-reqs done before starting, but they are still accepting folks for spring, feb of 13.

Good luck!

Everyone at work told me to talk with them so I emailed the advisor. We will see what he says! Good luck with your pre-reqs! I will let you know what he says! :-)
