Low Overall GPA and RN Track

[fltatt]

I'll cut to the chase here....... It has been 6 years since I graduated college with a 2.896 and I have been flying the friendly skies. Due to a lot of things going on in the industry and also with the instability of my company (2nd company I have worked at in 6 years that has gone into bankruptcy), I've been searching my heart for what is next. I would love to be a flight nurse and know that I need an RN for that, but my grades aren't high enough to get into RN school here (in Nashville). At least that is what I think. I'm wondering if I went to LPN school and worked for a year and possibly did the bridge program if that would be a better alternative for me? Thank you for your responses in advance.

Have you ever thought about going to a community college first and doing your ADN there and then if you want to do an RN-BSN program at a 4yr school

try ADN program that accepts pre-req gpa.

I graduated with a BS and a 2.5 gpa

I found one CC that accepts prereq gpa and i got in with a 3.9 pre req. It's funny how panic mode makes u study better. If I want to get my bsn, it will be an year extra since I have like over 150 credits from my Uni lol

An option is an LPN/LVN bridge, sometimes the GPA cutoff a are a tad lower for bridge programs.
