Cali nursing programs

I attend a university in Arkansas and will be finishing up my BS in Biology in a year. I have decided I wish to pursue nursing for a career. I also want to relocate to California to be closer to my son. He lives in Monterey. I am wondering if you guys know of a BSN program in Cali that will accept someone with a 2.8 to 2.9 GPA. Anything around Monterey or the Bay Area would be nice, but any college in the state would do. At least I'd be within a days drive of him. I could easily get into some BSN programs here, but he is already 22 months old and I want to be closer to him and not miss him grow up! Any info you can provide would be great. Thanks,

Ryan

In the Bay Area there are not many state BSN programs. Cal State East Bay, San Fran State, Hayward State, San Jose State. I think pretty much all of them are competitive. I would check each school's website for minimum GPA requirements. Some schools have GPA requirements for pre-reqs or last 60 units GPA. Private schools have different requirements. Samuel Merritt's accelerated program has a GPA requirement of 3.0 for the last 60 units completed. There is also Dominican University (a private school) in San Rafael that makes you wait 3 semesters before starting their nursing program.

finding a list of schools is not a problem; i can do that easily. i was just wanting to know if anyone knew by word of mouth or through experience which schools are easier to get into, as my gpa is a bit on the lower end.
