Online Degree

Before I started going back to school to get another degree, I have never imagined that it will be this tough getting into the nursing program. The way it was set up is that, you can get all your pre requisites first and then some.. and later on apply for the program. Back in the Philippines, the moment you know what major you want to get, you can go ahead and apply for it during your first year. This means that when you take your entrance exam for the school, as long as you get the qualifying grade/score then you are good. It's sort of a ladder style... you start from the beginning and you work your way to the finish line.

However, over here... you have to get your pre requisites first then apply for the program. And your chance of getting into the program is like 1/100. You really have to be a straight A student in order to get in. And there are times that even though you are a straight A student, you might not even get in because they don't have enough sits. For this semester according to my professor out of 200 applicants only 48 students where selected. Okay, well... they could have atleast make it 50. Can you imagine that.

So now I am really stressed because I am not a straight A student. I mean I get by... For now I am looking at other options and schools that I can get into. It's not a guarantee... so much for having your education, you can't even get into the major that you like. No wonder there's a lot of people that after high school, they just stop and never bother to go to school.. Well its so darn difficult...

I just can't wait until I get a sit for this program in my school. I checked out some online nursing degree to see what are my options. I found a program where a school offered an adult program for people who already have a bachelors degree and wanted to get into the nursing program. So I might look at that. And then there's also some online university where they offer nursing career and you can do it online and the clinical of course will be in the different hospital settings in the area. That one might work for me just in case I don't get into the nursing program in my school {sigh!}.

With my search I also found Western Governor University that offers an online nursing program. They offer B.S. Nursing (RN to BSN online, B.S. Nursing,(Prelicensure), B.S. Health Informatics. The second choice will probably work for me. But I still have to do a lot of research as to how it will work. I still have a few.. well more questions really in order to convince myself to actually do the online program, plus I've read in their website that they are very selective on their students.

I just have to finish all my prerequisites so I can apply.
