Hello All!

Any help will be much appreciated. I'm looking for programs that would look at my non traditional background. Basically, I graduated with a BA Liberal Arts with a 2.1...took years to even fix my credit deficit to be able to be able to graduate.. transcript is all over the place...my last 60 credits are around 3.4.. and I have a few pre-requisites left for which I have a close to 4.0 in. but the problem is a lot of school are looking at my graduating institution GPA not including my postbacc work grades or even grades I transferred in towards by BA!

I have worked in healthcare (experience as a Phlebotmist, CNA, and special needs team leader) and some research experience as well in infection prevention. Am I being unreasonable with trying to find an accelerated BSN/MSN program? I've recovered from my undergraduate days into a highly motivated student looking to pursue my original passion. Eventually down the road I'm looking at pursuing CRNA training or CNS as my final goal.

Any advice/programs I should look into? I would prefer master entry programs but not sure I'd even stand a chance with my stats. Anyone in similar boat? I'm 29.
