Worried About getting in Nursing School

Published

Good morning, afternoon, or evening whatever time frame you are reading this. I am extremely worried about getting into a nursing program in the state of Florida. I reside in Miami and I have a 3.7 overall gpa. My TEAS score were

81% overall

83% in Science

I am worried because most of the school I have applied to require that I must be done with 7 out of 8 pre-reqs before the application deadline but that is impossible for me. I am currently taking Microbiology and Anatomy and Physiology 2. UCF, USF, and FGCU all wanted this done.

My only option so far seems to be UCF/Valencia UCF/SSC, UNF, FIU, and MDC (this is my last choice because I do not want to stay in my city).

I am extremely worried and am wondering if I should just reapply for the spring semester after I finish my courses instead of applying for Fall terms?

Thank for your help!

You can always apply to UNF and any other places that don't require that you have all the prereqs completed, and then if you don't get into any of them, you can apply for the other places that require all prereqs to be finished and have spring admissions. I know UNF only admits in the summer and fall, so it won't hurt to try for the fall there. I believe UNF is allowing you to give them your current grades in spring courses near the fall admission deadline since final grades may not be posted on May 1. You can email Beth at the nursing admissions email to see. She's good at answering questions and working with people, it seems.
