Worried Student

Hi everyone,

My name is Shawn and I'm new to this group.recently I started my pre nursing courses and I'm a little undecided about things. I currently had to drop my beginning algebra class BC I was not doing to good in the class. Not knowing I had to have this class b4 i take a&p. So with that being said I will have to do 2 semesters b4 I can get into an adn program,so while i am taking these two semester I will be taking classes that goes for an bsn program. After those two semesters I will only have a semester and 1 class in the summer to be qualified to enter into a bsn program(ummc).so should I keep going and continue the bsn pre classes or should I just go ahead to the adn program.(I wanted to do adn first so I could work at a hospital,while getting my bsn,)

    Hi Shawn,

    Its difficult to suggest what you should do first. A lot of factors play an imperative role as to which program, ADN or BSN, program you should initially apply too.

    For example:

    Required pre-requisites and when they are offered

    Specific school wait list / enrollment (30, 40, 50, or 100 students; 1000 applicants)

    Family obligations

    Length of program

    Financial situation

    Day or evening class / clinical rotations

    Available scholarships / student loans

    Ability to work during program

    There are many more however, the pros and cons will be based upon your personal circumstances. Make a tangible list, review it carefully and make a firm decison.

    On a personal note, I do like the idea of the BSN program over the ADN; it will save time. FYI, I'm an ADN recipient. However, the aforementioned list may assist in determining which program you would be a better candidate. UMMC...AWESOME program.

    I wish you well. Enjoy, comprehend, and ask AS MANY questions as your heart desire during your nursing journey. :yes:

    PS....I enjoyed my college years in Jackson, MS. Great place to live.
