Are all the nursing programs that difficult to get into?

There are other schools. And yes, many of them accept and graduate students who don't have As and Bs in all of their pre-reqs. The kind of smarts that allow you to do well in the pre-reqs are not necessarily the kind of smarts you need to succeed as a nurse. If you lived in my area I would be able to suggest a school for you. I don't know anything about the schools in your area. Why don't you ask your advisor or one of your instructors? Sometimes they know what else is out there.

Can you try a LVN to RN (associates degree) program. Then you can go on to get your BSN.

Could you find a ln lpn-rn program? Even online? I would pick someone who is a nurse whovhas c's in their sciences than someone with all A's in science youre a freaking nurse. Could you shop around for other schools????

I'm in your state.

My *opinion* is that some of the private schools have lower GPA requirements than the community and State universities.

Plus some private schools offer the prereqs and I've heard and experienced that the prereqs through private schools are not as difficult, as the private schools have a financial interest in your success.

Hope this doesn't start a big debate on the merits of private vs public nursing schools. I think there are many paths to becoming a nurse.

Some are more expensive, some are longer, some are more or less academically rigorous.

Thank you for your replies and recommendations to me, I really appreciate it. I have just barely started to inquire at other schools. I have a 3.113 GPA so far even with the algebra and science classes. I will go ahead and start checking other schools. I could use some suggestions. I am about 15 credits away from an Associate Degree.
