And a shot.

I think this calls for a tequila IV drip.

This is a great opportunity to practice IV insertion. I can probably do it better after alcohol therapy. But I'm more of a rum person.

You haven't decimated your GPA yet. Yes, 9 hours takes a big effect when you only have around 30-40 to your name in the first place, but when you graduate you'll have around 120, and this class won't have as much weight. Now, it's time to buck up and find out what you need to do to improve, and then actually improve.

And why can't 'just' being a nurse be your backup plan? I know it is mine.

Even if you don't have a 3.99 in school. Post Bacc work and experience can do wonders for your chance at admissions. Just ask non-traditional med students.

^^^^ Darn skippy.

Honestly OP, I don't have much more confidence in your success than you do at the moment. But it has nothing to do with your grades. It has everything to do with attitude. The odds that you would start nursing school, be perfect at it, be perfect at ALL of it, enjoy it, secure a job in an ICU, enjoy it, be great at it, do perfectly in your BSN program, gain admission to a CRNA program, be great at it, love it, graduate, and love the career without ONE hitch were pretty freaking slim. Suck it up. If you don't get into the program, you'll still have opportunitiea for a great career all around you, and you'll be far more educated about what you really want and excel at than you are now. If you hate EVERY SINGLE path in nursing except the one you picked or god knows what reason, then perhaps you should drop out now, or put your nose to the grindstone and stick to it for the long haul. If you don't do well in your undergrad, you may have to work for 5 years while you go back to school and take another 60-90 hours. If you're passionate about it, you'll do it without a second thought. If you aren't passionate, you'll fall off along the way and the whole thing will resolve itself. The way of the world. /rant.

We'll I realize it isn't the end of the world but I don't wanna have to wait until im 50 years old to attend grad school (not that there's anything wrong with people doing it) because of one (three) C's that I made within one point of a B, and who knows how my other classes will go, my school has a bad reputation of being allergic to A's

You got a C?!!! Guess you can't be a nurse then.

Just kidding. You will be fine.

Listen sister

I finished Grad school at 50 so go easy there.....do you want us to give you permission to quit? Granted....Quit...so now what are you gonna do?

Life does not always happen they way we think it will. People live, people die, people get married, get divorced, people have kids, peolel lose kids...NONE of us knows what our future holds.

So get the ^&% overyourself and figure out what you need to do better and do it, or walk away. The choice is yours.

Well if thats the case why are you going there? I mean after all the hoops we jump through to get into nursing school dont tell me you were completely unaware of your schools flaws if they are "allergic to A's." If this is the case then you should have chose to go somewhere else, which I'm confused why you aren't at a University anyhow if you are this intent on grad school. Blaming your school is a copout, all schools are hard-big deal. I have children, a home, and a husband to care for and tehy are all well cared for and I'm very close to being a staright A student and a senior nursing student at that. Everyone can make excuses and I never talk about my grades but I'm just using them as an example. I will also say my lowest grade was in my first semester so figure out how to do better if thats important to you and move on.

I walked into my RN program with a 3.78 and after this first semester of all B's I am at a 3.5 and PROUD of it!

I have talked to many people in my program that are 3rd and 4th semester students that were the same way...now they are just praying to pass, even if it's with a C.

Don't be so hard on yourself...

Oooooooohhhhhhhh! That explains it.... Guys are hardheaded. ;-)

Honestly, I just think that you need to stop treating nursing as pre-CRNA.

I understand what you mean, but just like most anything you have goals and you want to try and reach the top first, then work you way down as things happen
