Can I still be a nurse?? Do still have a chance?

Hello, i am currently attending a 4 year university and will graduate in 2018 with a BS in health sciences. But i really want to be nurse and i was think of applying to nvcc. the problem for me is that I already took anatomy and got a D and retook it over the summer at my university and got a C+ because it was only a 4 week course and everything went by sooo fast even though i took it before. i also got a C in physiology and i got a B in micro. I was planning on retaking A&P1 and A&P2 at nvcc next summer and plan to get A's. Would retaking those two courses be a good idea if i want to apply to nvcc's ADN nursing program after graduation? Please give me some advice, because i feel like such a failure and im worried that a career in nursing is not possible for me now and I dont know what to do. I slacked off my first two years of college and didn't have the best of study habits. i feel like i wont be able to be given another chance at being a nurse. I also plan on trying my hardest and studying as hard as i can for the TEAS test and hope that will make my chances a little higher. I am starting to have panic attacks and freak out that i have completely screwed my chances of being nurse.please give me some advice on how i can repair from now on and if i have any chance of getting accepted to nvcc's nursing program. I also want to know if nvcc would look at the higher of the A&P grades??

Look into Westchester Community College. Their only admission criteria is how well you do on the TEAS. As long as you have a C+ or better on the pre-reqs you can apply. It's a great program, just graduated from there. Message me if you want any info or have questions! Good luck!

I think you should check out other schools. I didn't have grades good enough for my current school BSN, so now i'm going to school for my ADN at a community college. The Community College is just as good as the 4 year one.

Well, no, its not, but it could get her in the door if she finds someplace that doesn't require a BSN for hiring. However, even community college programs are very competitive now. Those low grades in core courses will be a stopper for admission anywhere thats reputable.

I was simply stating that my schools program is just as good as my old schools. Similar nclex pass rates, and both get hired in the same hospitals. I know that employers prefer Bsn, but where i live they will hire you. you just have to commit to getting your bsn within a certain amount of time.
