I'm at the end of my rope here. I need some assistance. Just finishing my BSN degree with no problems. Considering the NP route. Applied to local college, transferred all my undergrad course work and filled out the application. And right away denied. Why do you ask, well due to low GPA .
Not low GPA for my nursing career mind you, but from my previous career when I attempted to go to school as an engineer. So this epic fail happened in my poorly spent youth. Tried engineering, got my butt kicked, lots of person crap happening at the same time = epic fail. And thanks to those seven or so classes I crapped out on, they are following me, just like the movie It Follows.
Now none of this garbage has anything to do with my nursing career. For that I got my crap together, went back and took all the prereqs, then CNA to LPN to RN to BSN ensued. And now I'm denied even though it has nothing to do with my nursing at all because getting into NP school is cumulative GPA.
I'm very tempted to not even list that school on my application because it is dragging me down like a boat anchor. And I went there mainly for computer stuff. Thoughts? And don't tell me I can just take them over again like it's no big deal. Those entry level and upper level engineering/computer science courses were more difficult than nursing school.
I was unaware that graduate schools only consider the most recent coursework. The adviser at the school I applied to specifically stated that the GPA is cumulative and that implies all course work taken, even if it is not nursing related. My previous coursework was failed out of computer stuff.
