Hello everyone,

Just a little bit of information about me. I am a biological science major, Bachelor's in biology to be exact. I have enough classes to have a minor in chemistry and a minor in psych but of course you can't have two minors. So anyways my issue is that i have a very very very low undergraduate gpa. basically the low 2's. YEH i know!!! I've been looking into some options. I see that LPN programs are very helpful. What i want to know is that how important or beneficial would it be fo rme to get an LPN cert and then apply to RN school? Also i also read online, that private ASN or BSN schools are a easy way in but expensive. Is this true? Im not worried about money. I just need to get in. Does anyone know of any BSN/ASN school prefferably accelerated that don't have such a harsh GPA requirement. Private would be fine for me. I heard chamberlain is one of them. I just need something that doesn't have a harsh GPA raequirement. Also Does anyone know of any LPN schools that don't have a harsh GPA requirement? I am really worried as to what my next step would be. LPN, accelerated BSN, Doing pre-reqs over... etc...anyone have any advice. I'm all ears. Thank You.

Yeah, apply to LPN school - will help with biology and you can bridge to RNschool - If you want to enter the field.

Most private, for-profit trade schools offer the LPN program with no prerequisites or minimum GPA requirements. In fact, all you need is a high school diploma or GED for these schools.

My friend had a BS degree in public health, but her undergraduate GPA of 2.3 was not stellar. She completed an LPN program and has no regrets about the decision she made.
