Discouraged...need encouragement

[2bnurseTV]

I finally made the decision to go to nursing school. I am starting my prereqs for a bsn program in a few weeks. I almost wish I had never found this site. I have read way too many negative things. For my BSN program I need a 3.5 GPA and high Teas scores. What if I cant get a GPA that high. Not that I am not smart enough but I have 3 kids and am concerned about getting enough study time. What if I do all these classes, spend all this $ and still dont get in! Not to mention the fear these boards have given me for the nursing program itself. What if I cant cut it? But I have too...once I invest this time and $ there is no going back.

Good thoughts ?????

I think that you are better off knowing what you need to aim for. I see a lot of students who aren't motivated to get good grades and think that just passing is good enough. You know from the start that you need to do well, and will put more effort into reaching your goals. Relax, you're going to do fine :)
