When should I apply??

[student8520]

Hello,

I am a f/t employee in my 2nd semester back in school hoping to work towards a nursing degree. I am attending a CC and am working on my gen-eds and nursing pre-reqs. This semester I will be taking soc 101, and psych 103. After that i will need my math and all the sciences. My question is when should I begin applying for nursing programs? I know you need to have certain science courses completed prior to begining the programs, along with the appropriate GPA. However I also know that many get rejected the first time or two when applying. I dont want to apply to soon and not have the required classes completed but at the same time do not want have all the requirements completed and time to kill before getting in!

So my question is at what point should I begin applying?? Hope this was not to confusing!!

Thanks in advance for the advice:)

I think it depends on the school you will be applying to. The university I am applying to has two lists..an advanced placement for those who have completed their pre-reqs and the other for those who will be done at the end of the spring semester. Check the school requirements, you might be surprised and be able to get your app in earlier than you thought (I never imagined I could apply before I am done, LOVE IT!)

Good luck!
