From Nursing to Optometry
Hi! I am currently a nursing student at South University and am looking to graduate in June with my BSN. After I finish I am looking to apply to optometry school at Nova in South Florida. I am currently running a 3.15. All my C's were from pre nursing except one. When I get out I have to take Bio, Calc and Organic Chem. Do any of you know if some of my nursing classes will count for anything? And what might my chances be of getting in with a BSN? I will have a year and half of clinical experiance, one year of pharmacy classes and I have learned great communicating skills through nursing. Also I have been working in a pediatrics floor for 2 years now and would like to focus on pediatric optometry. Any advice?!
I am worried about having to take the OAT because I do not score well on such exams.
