r/prenursing

idek how to start this but i’m currently in a pre-nursing program at a university but i didn’t get in to my own school’s program. i’m still waiting back for some transfer schools bc thank god i applied other places in case this happened (my school only accepts less than 10 out of state ppl a year)…but im honestly scared i won’t get into a direct BSN program as a sophomore transfer. has anyone ever been in this position? all my pre reqs are done to the point im ab to have a minor after this semester in psychology. if i don’t get in should i just get my ADN at CC back home and then do a ADN to BSN program? or is there any other route you guys have taken to getting ur degree? i was sad for awhile ab not getting into my own school’s program but it’s moved towards a worry/prepping for my future thing

Has anyone taken their science pre reqs online and still got accepted? If so, where did you take your preqs and where did you get accepted? Feel free to DM me 🤗

Ive been accepted into the nursing program for the Summer 2026, I’ve gotten all my titers, vaccines, and drug testing done but I have a past-due balance (~$5,000) from Fall 25’ semester where I was under financial aid suspension for having too many credits (tried to double major in psych since I didn’t get into the program). Financial aid told me my loans/grants cannot be applied retroactively to cover it, and the internal collections is requiring it to be paid in full before I can register.

Has anyone been in a similar situation and found a way to get a registration override, set up a payment plan that still allowed enrollment or work with a nursing program to bypass the hold temporarily?

I’m just trying to see if there are any options I might be missing.

I am from ny currently in my last semester of sophomore yr and I am taking my science pre reqs at a community college instead of my direct school. I dont mind what nursing school I get into as long as it would help me pass wtv I need to so Im okay with getting in where ever the issue is im bad at science courses and I took stats and psych already so I got As and Bs in those. I was taking chemistry 1 at my direct school but I withdrew bc it was rlly far. So I retook it this semester at a community college but bc I missed the first quiz had 2 abscences now and failed one other quiz I only have one quiz to pass the class and im afraid either way if I get a D or F it looks rlly bad for even regular nursing schools and I havent even started on other science subjects just chem. Idk what it would look like with a "w" then an "F" and then a possible retake with idk what grade but yea I rlly need to lock in to do better on the rest of the science subjects and I dont plan to retake anymore besides chem since i did rlly shit this semester. If anyone has been in my position or is already in nursing and could let me know if im cooked it would be great help thanks!

I hope I’m putting this on the appropriate pages. Apologies if I am not, I am still getting used to Reddit and how it works.

Im not a science whizz, it definitely takes me some time to process things. But my senior year of college “just to see if I’d like it” I took A&P 1 + 2 and P/NC both courses (pass, no credit) so that way if I failed the classes my GPA wouldn’t take a hit. I was thinking about pursing nursing and figured A&P would be a good way to see if I could do it. I really enjoyed the class, the content, like loved it all but I started falling behind in the classes I actually needed to graduate so I stopped putting my all into A&P. Fast forward, I take them both again at a CC and A&P1= B , A&P2= C which I know is ugh especially seeing that sooo many people with straight As still get waitlisted/ rejected. I was thinking to give A&P 2 another shot to get an A (non negotiable with a 3rd take . I know it has to be an A); however, I’m a bit concerned because I realized a lot of programs have like a 2 retake limit and now that I typed this all out I’m wondering if my first time counts as a take or just my second time taking it count as a retake and then if i took it a 3rd time that would be my 2nd retake? I don’t know . What I do want to know is : has anyone gotten into nursing school (ideally non profit) after taking a pre req 3 times ? Should I try to apply with the C or take it again? Should I just give up ?

I feel like I’m just getting older and older and not making any progress and I really want to start a career . I want to do nursing LVN, RN I don’t care but if it’s just like not plausible then I need to put it on the back burner and try to get into something else. Sorry for the long post . Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. I’m in the DFW area for more context

Hey everyone, I recently got placed on the waitlist for the CSUSM Traditional BSN program and I’m currently #4 on the waitlist.

I was wondering if anyone has experience with how much the waitlist usually moves or if anyone has gotten in from a similar position? I’ve seen mixed things and I’m just trying to get a realistic idea of my chances.
