The MPH suggestion seems like a good one. Depending on how bad your grades are, consider going as a full-time student for 3 semesters. In one year you could upwards of 36 semester units. Even if the 30 units preceding that were 2.0 (which they're not...
An advantage to the advice of maryk99 is then you'll have a chemistry degree and could look at an accelerated BSN or direct-entry MSN program. Schools are real sticklers about the money versus transcripts thing. They know that it's the only real leve...
I'd guess that the test to which they're referring is the chemistry CLEP administered by the College Board (the same lovely folks who bring us the SAT). You can check out their site at http://www.collegeboard.com/student/testing/clep/ex_chem.html and...
Give her a certificate good for membership and/or subscription to the organization and/or journal of her choice. You could make a very cool certificate layout and copy covers from some of the journals along with logos from the professional organizati...
