I spent at least an hour on the phone this morning with the nursing school at UAA. A few things came to light:
1) I can apply!
2) Unfortunately, somewhere along the line, the information was lost on me that I needed yet one more class to complete my general ed requirements. I'm pretty sure I am not the one who overlooked this. Turns out, I can't use the same class for both the general ed requirement and the nursing school requirement, so I have enrolled in a fourth class for next semester, Intro to Political Science. I have more humanities courses under my belt than I know what to do with, and here I am, taking yet another course that has absolutely nothing to do with nursing. I love learning for the sake of learning but enough is enough already.
3) Consequently, I dropped the Biostatistics course. UAA couldn't guarantee that they would accept that one for credit and would not evaluate it until after completing the class, which is just not going to work. I'll take stats "in person" at some point via UAA. In the meantime, I'll finish up my U of I Bachelors by taking an essay course. It will be fun to get a few pieces of writing going.
Words cannot express how thankful I am that I can apply and do not have to push that back a semester. The rest will get done in due time.
