I recently decided to go to LPN school because I was attending college to get my BSN but I had some personal problems that reflected my grades this past semester and as a result my chances of getting into the nursing program at the university I was going to are nearly impossible. I decied to take this semester off to get my CNA training next month so that I could at least work in the nursing field. I am going to apply for the LPN program so that I can ,if accepted, start in the fall. But I am very worried that my GPA at the college I previously attened will affect my acceptance into the LPN program. I attened the my previous college for 3 regular semesters and took two courses this past summer. My first two semesters and during the summer I maintained a 2.5 but this past semesters grades brought my GPA down to a 1.75. If I were to conitinue I would have to retake most of the courses I took this past semester and continue try to get my GPA up to a 3.0 by the time I applied for the nursing program. I spoke with my advisor who didn't say aloud, but implied, that it would probably be nearly impossible for me to get into the upper division of the BSN program. Anyway, I am very worried that my previous college work will affect my chances of getting into the LPN program because the application ask for your high school transcript and a transcript of the colleges in which you attended. I'm not worried about my high school transcript because I had a 3.5 after high school graduation. My college transcript however is awful. Does anyone have any advice of what I could do or if there's any chance I could get into the program?
