If anyone could give me a little input or maybe put a spin on my situation I'd appreciate it greatly! All I get from my bf and family is "you'll get there.." Ok, I have taken five straight full time semesters (including summer) and I still have one more semester worth of credits to take before I start a BSN Program! AHHH! Ok, so now, the greater problem.. I'm looking at a few BSN programs in Texas.. I'll be applying in Sept., but a lot of them have a class or two different than the other programs, and I don't want to be set back another semester to take classes like "visual and performing arts". I know I sound impatient, but come on.. BSN programs want 72 hours of credits before you even start the two years of BSN classes. ITS SO FRUSTRATING because even when I do apply, the programs I'm most interested in (TWU in Houston, UTHCSA, etc) took no less than a 3.7 gpa last semester. Ouch- I've been working part-full time throughout my prereqs and I don't think I'll be able to get that. Any advice? I think somedays I'm about to pull my hair out!

That is what I am doing and the best thing about it all of the bridge program will be offered on-line. If you're really desperate you can move to Mississippi. lol Our BSN prorgrams only require 56-63 hours of pre-reqs.Kay
