Hello everyone, ive spent roughly the last 2-3 hours just browsing these boards. This place looks really great and theres so much information. Anyways im seriously considering a career as an RN. Im in my 1st year of community college and was originally going to do my math/science. My plan is to spend next year getting close to all my prereq's out of the way. The only thing they will look at is what I did this year and first semester of the fall. I plan on taking A+P and microbiology in the fall. First sememter i got a 3.0 and this semseter im looking at maybe a 3.3-4 Im really nevous I wont get accepted. My school gets about 280 applicants and only takes 60. not really sure where im going with this except a little guidance. Thanks.

Concentrate on really doing well in the core prerequisites for nursing school. Most schools calculate a separate gpa for nursing core prerequisites (eg AP, micro, etc) in the admissions process. Apply to more than one school. I think that if more people were willing to apply to multiple schools that the waiting lists would tend to flatten out a little over time. Always accept a spot on the waiting list if offered. I was on the waiting list for my school and I was accepted 2 weeks later. I know you can do this so best of luck.
