Since you are currently pregnant, have you thought about just finishing pre-reqs and then pursing the nursing classes later after the baby is born and after you develop a set routine for the baby? I think it would be so much easier on you to wait. Programs are very intense and you won't be allowed to miss many days, have you checked your schools policy on maternity leave?

I'm a mom of three and can't imagine being in nursing school while pregnant it won't be easy (super stress) but if your determined to go for it, best of luck :)

I can't help you about the NLN...I was accepted with a 3.7 GPA , but we took the COMPASS exam and I scored in the acceptable range. (It's like they selected us on a curve grading scale)
