Currently enrolled in the three courses and doing well in all of them, (A's) (that's about as pompous as I get). In order to get my foot in the door for Nursing School as soon as humanly possible, I have a few hurdles to jump. Nothing major, but there are some tests required and coursework to be accomplished.
Not only do I need to complete the Developmental Psychology Course in order to be accepted completely into the program, yet now I have to finish a Thinking Critically and Creatively Course. I only need that course for the second school I am trying to be accepted through. It may be an extra course that I don't 'need' right away, but I am certain it will help me in the nursing profession, regardless. I was a little bummed out when I heard that I had to take that course AND Introduction to Sociology, but so be it. I will do what I have to do. Also, in attempt to get into the second school I need to complete an updated Accuplacer Exam. It's basically a test to gauge a person's knowledge prior to being accepted in a program. Well, I am uncertain if they are aware or not, but I have been enrolled and completed THREE technical college programs over the last 12 years.... I think I am good. BUT..... as before, I will do what I have to do.
In the summer I will be finishing that course and most likely tackling Intro to Sociology as well so I can just get it over with. At the end of summer I will be two courses away from being done with all pre-nursing courses. Advanced Anatomy & Physiology and Microbiology are going to be attempted. If I don't get into a (ANY) Nursing Program in January 2014, I will simply be taking any courses that I can to aid in the program of any school so I have less credits when I am completely enrolled and starting my program.
I am applying at two schools because one of the schools is more willing to accept interested students once they have done the pre-course work as well as completing a competitive HESI Exam. I am nervous to take that exam because any student that wants to start the following semester can test and be accepted; yet they don't know how many students will show up for the exam. I hope I do well so I can have my schooling for becoming a nurse be official. That exam takes place in the fall of this year after I complete a petition to enroll and test. If I get into the program, when completed with that semester I will transfer to the school more close to home. We shall see. Just some more hoops to hop through... but I'm doing it with a smile on my face.
