Just curious as to what everyone needs for their nursing program. Right now I'm going to Long Island University in NY, a private university for my BSN.
Biology - Life: It's Origin, Maintenace & Future I & II
Anatomy & Physiology
Microbiology
General Chemistry
Intro to Organic & Biochemistry
Developmental Psychology I & II
Statistics or Statistics in Psychology
HESI A2 Vocab, Grammar, Reading Comprehension and Math.
Specializes in being a mom to 3 rambunctious kids.
Here are the pre-reqs for our ADN RN program:
English 191
Math 191
A&P 1 & 2
Microbiology
Psy 191
SCT 100 (computer class)
CPR for health care providers
all the above must have received a C or better
then must take the NLN and score 75% or higher
the NLN score and the GPA are point scaled. For example, 100 on the NLN= 50 pts, and a 4.0 GPA = 25 pts.
Out of 350 applicants, the top 75 were interviewed. The interview was worth 25 pts.
The top 40 (approx) applicants were accepted into the RN program. The others will be able to reapply in April of 2009.
Once accepted into the ADN RN program, we had 2 months to get vaccinations, titers, drug screen, physical, and background check completed and results turned in (by today @ 5 pm) or we would be taken out of the program.
Hallejuah
I am ready for class to start in OCT!!!!!!!
After acceptance into the program, we then have to get Eng 193, Soc 191, Speech 191, and Humanities 191.....I will also be picking up Chem 1 & 2 and Eco 191 as I will be applying to the BSN/MSN dual degree program after graduation from the ADN program.
Im going to a CC college for the ADN program and pre-reqs are:
A&P I AND II
Microbiology
Medical Terminology
Basic Concepts of Nursing
English Comp.I
Intermediate College Algebra
Psychology 101
Freshman Seminar(but Im not a freshman)
I have to take the science classes, the Med. Terminology and Concepts of Nursing class. I have to get the Pre-Nursing Certificate to apply for admission into the Nursing program for my ADN. Im also going to apply for Merit Admssions. I hope the waiting list isnt too long. I also have no clue if its hard to get into the program, but I cant wait! Im ready to work my butt off to get my ADN.
I'm in the process of completing my last two courses for a M.Ed. (Early Childhood Admin.) and taking Chem, in addition to four other courses, to apply for the RN program at a Community College. I have the majority of pre-reqs from my B.S. degree. I'm changing careers.
I have a B.A. so the other non-science stuff is covered. I had college algebra in undergrad but that was looooong time ago and I didn't do well. So since that was long ago and math competency is impt for nursing school, I'll be taking refresher math at community college.
General Chem or General Bio or Preparation for Allied Health (its a developmental course geared for people with little science background or havent had any science in a LOOOOONNNNNNG time-I opted to take this because I havent had any science in 11 years and Im REALLY glad I did. Will be taking Chem 101 over the summer as its required for some of the ABSN programs I'm looking at)
A&P 1 and 2
Microbiology
Human Development
Speech/Communications
in addition, there are a few other prereqs for some of the ABSN programs I'm looking at:
Abnormal Psych
Nutrition
Statistics
Religion (one of the schools is a Catholic school)
I'm at the University of Alabama at Birmingham and these are our BSN program requirements
Foundation Courses:
Anatomy & Physiology
Microbiology
Inorganic and Organic Chemistry (with labs as separate courses)
English Comp 101 & 102
Precal or Finite Math (I had to take both)
Developmental Psychology
Descriptive Statistics
General Studies Courses:
Ethical Reasoning
Fine Arts
A Literature Sequence
Nutrition
Psychology
A History, Social, & Behavioral Science
Wester Civ
We also have to have at least a 2.75 Foundation GPA, we have to be CPR certified and medically cleared, we have to write an essay, and we're encouraged to have at least 60 hours of healthcare experience (paid or volunteer).
