Hello everyone! I'm starting BSN program this Fall '26 in Tri-Cities area. I'm just wondering what to expect in the first semester of the nursing program.
I doubted myself at first if ever I could get in because I know my interview didn't go well. But God is in control, and this is the path He has prepared for me! I am beyond grateful for this! I applied to 3 schools and my first choice is this one-BSN. And it's just 15mins away from my house! The other 2 schools are ADN. I haven't heard from those 2 yet but it doesn't matter since my first choice accepted me first.🙏🏽
A little bit of history, I got my first bachelor's degree in the Philippines almost 2 decades ago. This state university credited my degree as equivalent to their UCORE, so all I need to do is do a few classes for my prerequisites. I took the TEAS 3 times. They only need 70%, and I got 76% on my third try. I had 3.6 GPA for my prerequisites and 2.6 in my first degree(I know, not great). I have been an HCA/CNA for almost 10 years which is extra credit. I think what got me in is they have a holistic approach to considering students who deserve to be admitted. I might not stand out in my interview, but I did great in the other criteria. Congratulations to all who got in and to those who are still waiting and trying, don't give up! You got this! You'll get there when the time is right! 🙏🏽
