How to get in to RN program

[medlife]

Hi everybody

i've searching around for nursing college and finally dropped into this forum and it kinda interesting me too, since lot of people in here are already nurses !

I'm just finished the prerequisites, and trying to get in to the Register Nurse program, however i have two repeat of classes (prerequisite) because i got a bad grade in those two classes, Micro and Physio . My G.P.A is not good either, i tried to apply for the program but some school don't accept the repeat of classes, Private school are so expensive, i wish i tried harder for the prerequisites so i will not stuck in this hard situation !!!!! I live in California, and i want to go to school close to where i live, If anybody in here know any public school for Register Nurse (ADN) that is easy to get in, would you please let me know ? Thank you so much for your help ! and nice to know you all !

Best wishes !:heartbeat

RN schools are very competitive and they look for the highest GPA and some schools use point systems. i am not from calif , but i would encourge you to check into local schools and see what they require. my school did not have a waiting list but went by GPA only and i had 3.9 when i was admitted into the program and when i graduated 5 years later it was down to 3.65 the nursing programs want the students who they are sure will pass boards , so they are picky. please keep us posted and good luck in the future..
