Ok, so I'm just beyond frustrated trying to figure out how to get into nursing school. My nursing related grades are good, but I had a couple years (after my brother died) where my grades were just horrible. Honestly I shouldn't have been in school at the time. Anyway, I'm so stressed out about not being able to get in anywhere, and I am just ready to start already. I am a single mom and can't waste time waiting to get in to a program. I have my degree in Psychology, but my grades aren't high enough to get me into the ABSN programs around here.
So, the only other option I'm considering is getting my LPN. The pay is pathetically low (less than I make waiting tables) but there are several programs around here where you can bridge into fast-track RN program immediate after graduation . You are given preference over students trying to get into the traditional 2yr-RN program. So should I just go that route? I was really excited about attending a local private college BSN program, but with my grades I don't know if I can even get into that one.
It's really frustrating that mistakes I made almost 10yrs ago, are keeping me from a good future for my son and I Would you go this route? I'm looking into some kind of academic forgiveness, but it looks like you can only get it if you are going to the university where you had your trouble.
