Hi, I'm a sophomore pre-nursing student at CSUB. I am currently taking Physiology and will take Microbiology next Spring. I'm feeling discouraged because my best friends have a high chance of getting accepted into the program (prereqs GPA of 3.7 or higher) whereas if I don't pass Physiology and Microbiology with an A, I might not get accepted into the nursing program at my college (the min prereq is a 3.20). If I do pass both classes with an A, I will only have a prereqs GPA of 3.46. I don't want to feel left behind and being compared to my friends from my parents. I don't feel like I am smart enough to go to nursing school anymore, but it's a passion to become a nurse. I don't know what to do. I've been thinking of applying to other nursing schools or take the long route which is become a CNA, then take the LVN route, and so on. 0 Likes

But if you're willing to put in the work (and actually do it), then you have a great chance of getting to your goal of being a nurse. So go ahead and get those A's and apply! If you don't get in then you might need to think about doing the CNA/LPN route but you def gotta put yourself out there to see where you actually stand 0 Likes
