Can I reset my gpa if I never went to a community college before?

Published

I need help on a confusing topic. I've been at a private school for some time. My gpa is low and I'm graduating with my LPN and plan on getting my RN there too since it's easier to get accepted there on a low gpa. My question is if I go to my local community college and take everything over, can that be considered a new gpa for me? It's confusing since I have to go backwards since I took anatomy, microbiology, math and everything at my private school. I'm actually able to register for advanced courses at my community college since I took the basics. For example, Anatomy is a pre-requisite for pathology so I can automatically take pathology at the community college since I got A&P out of the way at my private school and got credit for it but the problem is starting over means starting over and that would mean I would have to take A&P after pathophysiology even though A&P is the pre-requisite for pathophysiology I can't repeat courses at my expensive private school so am I stuck with a bad GPA forever? I have a 2.68 now.

My school is private but I wouldn't consider it a vocational school. They have LPN, ADN, BSN and other healthcare programs.
