Where on earth are CA students with a low GPA(3.3) applying!?!?!

I go to Cal State San Marcos. I'm in the Generic BSN program. It's 3 years long, and designed for those without a BA/BS. You can apply for it if you have one though, one of my classmates has a BS already and opted to go this route instead of the ABSN, which the school also has. I've heard it was easier to get into the ABSN program, but dunno for sure.

well what are you willing to pay for school? 32k total isn't really all that much compared to 50K n up....but that's just my opinion...

Not in Cali but there is a school in Oklahoma that accepts EVERYONE as long as they meet the requirements. Its called Oklahoma City University (http://www.okcu.edu). They have some type of agreement with the government to decrease the nursing shortage. They have BSN, ABSN, MSN, and doctoral programs. They only turn people away for the doctoral programs. Of course its pricier than community colleges but if youre really discouraged then you should give it a try. I looked at their ABSN program and its around $43,000. Im in the same boat youre in. I have a 3.37 and thats not good enough to get me into any schools in MI, so Ive been applying to schools in Ohio and Indiana instead. If I dont get accepted into any of those programs then Oklahoma will be my LAST resort. But when you want something bad enough you have to do whatever it takes to get it. If I do have to end up going there the only thing I wouldnt like is the lack of diversity I hear the state has especially since Im black and in MI we have people of all the colors of the rainbow here
