Another way to increase your chances of getting into nursing school is to transfer some credits in from previous school experience. However, to be eligible for provisional admission, you must meet the qualifications for the ABSN program, meaning you must complete each of the prerequisite courses within all specified requirements and have that GPA up to meet the requirement. We do, however, allow one retake of any two prerequisite courses.
PREP is great for transfer students as it offers a strong foundation for your nursing education through multiple benefits. The Utica ABSN program leverages your non-nursing college experience so that it becomes possible to earn a Bachelor of Science in Nursing in as few as 16 months. If you think nursing is right for you, talk with one of our admission representatives to determine what the application process will look like for you.
Unlike other programs that leave you on your own to figure things out, your success coach will be there to advocate for you and help you navigate any questions or concerns that come up during the month program. Lester knew he wanted to become a nurse when he witnessed an accident and felt the need to help. Although he previously had other career plans, this event changed his mind and solidified his desire to enter the field of nursing. I just took my headphones off and walked toward that scream.
I saw that a taxi had run over a couple, and a bunch of us had to help lift the car. I knew I needed to get into this field because I could be able to further help people. I felt like they were there to help me. She checked up on him and made sure he was on-track to get into the ABSN program. To Lester, that made all the difference. We mapped out all the classes I needed to take prior.
It worked out perfectly. By the time I was done with my last class, I was going into the nursing program. What about grades? ADN programs are more likely to set the minimum somewhere in the 2.
Grades in prerequisite courses may be considered separately. When interest exceeds available spots, grades are often an important factor. This can happen at both levels. Still, nursing admission is like college admission: Different programs put weight on different things.
Community colleges, meanwhile, do sometimes give priority to students who live in their service area. Tests are generally required at some point — sometimes at the school stage, sometimes at the program stage. At the ADN level, the focus is often on having general academic aptitude: for example, reading at the 12th grade level. But again, if slots are limited, the TEAS may help you make the cut. This may be among the admission criteria.
It also demonstrates a commitment to learning. Community service and volunteer work can look good to the admission committee, particularly at the BSN level. Hospitals often have one or more volunteer coordinators. Another option — a paid one — is to become a Certified Nursing Assistant. The school will want to know, at the minimum, that you know the expectations and are committed to the field. According to the Tulane University pre-health advising center, competitive programs tend to ask for — hours of job shadowing.
There are several sources to turn to find job shadowing opportunities. You might also look on the website of your nursing workforce center. There are also HOSA chapters in high schools and colleges; the organization develops skills and leadership ability in future health practitioners and giving them opportunities to network. Visit the nursing school or schools you are planning on applying to.
Sit in on classes to get a feel for what it is all about. Talk to students to learn their perspectives. Note: "Passing" means a C or better grade. C- grades are not acceptable. I think I'm allowed to repeat no more than two of the required Science courses to earn a C. You may repeat no more than 2 of these courses to earn a C or better. Also, I heard that I'm only allowed to repeat 3 of the general Education courses to earn a C or better.
There are 7 required general education courses such as English Composition, Introductory Psychology and Speech. Of these courses you may repeat three courses to earn a minimum grade of C. If you repeat more than 3 of the courses you aren't eligible to apply. If admitted to the nursing major, I will have to give up my part-time job. Many nursing students have part-time jobs. However, too many hours or working full time is not recommended, as your class, study, and clinical schedule is rigorous.
Your work schedule must be able to adapt to your class and clinical schedule.
