It’s almost the end of January 2008, so if you are thinking of applying to nursing school for the fall semester of 2009, now’s the time. Some schools start nursing classes several times throughout the year; traditional schools start in the fall.
Here’s what you need to do:
Get together your list of all of the nursing schools that you are interested in applying to.
Contact each one and find out the application deadline for this year, and what type of entrance exam they have.
Find out what book they recommend to study for the exam, get it, and study study study until you are comfortable with it. Take a few sample tests, and time yourself - give yourself as much time as the nursing school will give you.
Order your transcripts from high school, previous college, etc. They can take several weeks to arrive, so order NOW - and make sure that you get a sealed official copy sent to the school that you are applying to.
Apply to multiple schools to better your chances of getting in.
