my top ten

1. know the admissions requirements. nursing criteria is generally higher than
the schools advertised info.

2. apply early. major fills quick. know general size of each admitted class

3. get a tour of the nursing department.

4. do some kind of work related to the nursing field

5. direct entry into a program

6. know how many clinical hours a program has and proximity to them

7. check the NCLEX historical pass rate. use as general guideline only.

8. make sure you’ve had strong bio,anatomy,physiology,english and math

9. talk to every nurse you see and ask them questions

10. be prepared to have a structured more difficult workload in college with fewer free
electives than most majors with clinical hours in the evening
