Hey everyone. Thank you for taking the time to read this, and any advice is appreciated. I know this has been posted quite a few times, but everyone's situation is a little different. I'm looking for some advice about classes to take. I'm well aware that not all classes are going to transfer to different schools, and that I don't necessarily care about...
My GPA is 3.05, 1.5 yrs experience large level 1 trauma center med/surg icu, 3 months travel icu contract level 2, and the last 8 months in the icu float pool at a large level one trauma center with great experience. I'm looking to get a job in a permanent icu right now so when I apply my last 8-9 months will be in a steady icu environment and it won't leave any questions for the admissions committee...moving on.....
I have my CCRN, ACLS, PALS, TNCC..This summer I took general organic chem which I'll end up with an A. All my other science grades are an A- in micro, a B in A & P ll, and a B in general chem, and a C in A & P 1. My science gpa is right around a 3.05 as well. If I retook the A & P undergrad this fall and got an A to replace the C it would boost my "science GPA" to about a 3.5 which is a huge jump....I just don't know what to do....
Should I go ahead and take organic chem 1, should I retake A & P l undergrad, should I take take a grad level course?? I can only take 1-2 classes at minimum because along with this I need to be studying for my GRE's. Taking a grad level sounds great, but I'm nervous I won't have any time to study for my GRE's...
To those of you who took a grad level course and GRE's....are these doable together? I mean to have to study both at the same time?? I know with my undegrad GPA my GRE's are very important. I'm just not sure which path to take....
Again, any advice is appreciated and thanks for taking the time to read this. I just feel like my GPA is going to haunt me forever.
