Hardest Nursing school to get into for college

<p>Pretty self explanatory haha</p>

<p>Oh there are MANY.</p>

<p>Most/all of the Calif publics (even the CCs) are impacted for RN.</p>

<p>Many schools do not have “direct admit” so you have to apply to their BSN programs as a soph…and usually you have to have awesome grades to be accepted.</p>

<p>So, there are MANY BSN programs that are VERY hard to get into.</p>

<p>U Penn, then probably Johns Hopkins. Regardless, your starting salary will be exactly the same as the Bloomsburg graduate.</p>

<p>My neighbor didn’t make it into the nursing program at U of Az with a 3.4 her first two years and had to transfer. Another was dropped from her NP program at Seattle U with a 3.7. It is tough out there.</p>

<p>I have 2 kids applying to Nursing.
Note : Johns Hopkins University does not offer undergrad. Nursing ( the Traditional BSN ).
They offer the " Accelerated BSN “,
which is a " 2nd bachelor degree program” for people who has a BS/ BA in another discipline / degree who like to go into Nursing.</p>

<p>The Traditional BSN is for high school students seeking a Nursing degree. </p>

<p>There is a sub-category Nursing major here in CC if you like to post there too.
In general, Nursing Programs are competitive & are not easy to get admitted. </p>

<p>Even in PA, where we seem to have a plethora of direct-admit 4 year BSN programs, it is much harder to get into a nursing program than the usual admit stats would suggest. We went to an accepted students day event last Saturday for one of my D’s possible choices. It’s a mid-size PA public university. We were told they had over 1000 applications for their eventual freshman class size of 60. </p>
