Hi Everyone,
I already have a Bachelors degree in Biology and also a Masters degree. I also have almost 5yrs clinical lab tech experience. But I am now keen to pursue nursing but, have some questions regarding my college grades in undergrad.
Here is the problem, although my overall GPA is 3.0/4.0, I failed my chemistry and 2 genetics related courses in college. In fact i got through my chemistry course the 5th time (i just never got really interested and never studied seriously for it, now I kick myself for doing that). If any consolation, I do have an A in Pharmacology.
My Masters GPA was 3.75/4.0 and never failed any course work or research for that matter.
I am wondering whether any nursing school would consider me for an accelerated second degree BSN with the above fail history in my college days. Also, is there any way to prove my capability to pursue an accelerated BSN by taking a college chemistry and genetics course now and getting an A or B in them!? Does anyone know about such courses that can be pursued individually online?
Thanks a lot for your help.
