Nutrition I got a B. so do i still have a chance to getting into a bsn program and or any nursing program. my gpa is a 3.20 . i did well on my other courses like B.

I think you have a fine chance of getting in to a school. Look, everyone makes a bad grade here or there. Can you take your anatomy over in order to boost your GPA? What entrance exam do you have to take for the school you are applying to? I know that the school I'm applying to looks at your GPA of course, but they also put a lot of stock into your HESI A2 exam scores. Particularly, the Critical Thinking portion.

Does your school have a limit on how many times u can take anatomy? The schools in my area only allows us to take a prerequisite course twice. W's also count as a retake.

Some schools in rochester ny you cant take anatomy more than once but i proved that I can take these course with no problems. I really want to get into a BSN program because it will only take two years. Plus i can boost my gpa to a 3.26 but will that be enough. Some schools require TEAS test some dont. I am waitlist for community college but I want to get my BSN. I am getting older and I can't be in school forever.

Apply to community colleges too RN in 2 years, then do RN-BSN, where there'sa will there's a way so keep at it. I went the CC route now am RN, and will be starting stony brook university RN-BSN in the summer.

Sure it probably took me a bit longer than if i got accepted to BSN but I didn't have all the prereqs for it and it would have taken me a year longer just to apply meaning i wouldnt be starting until 1.5 years later, so 1.5 years + 2 years that's 3.5 years for BSN. Now its 2 years RN + 1.5 years RN-BSN = result also BSN except I'd have an RN and work experience to it too.

GOOD LUCK

Thank you, Good luck to you. I did talk to BSN programs and they say it would take me 2 years to get my bsn but since i did apply i got rejection letters. i really dont know what to do. i really hope i get into a rn at least. but thank you for the advice.
