I have a 2.5 GPA and I have finished all of my prerequisites with B’s and C’s but know it’s not good enough to get into a community college for an ASBN program but I am willing to relocate if there was one. Truthfully, I feel really pitiful right now. When I started college, I didn’t take it seriously at all and was just going “to go” and I wasn’t putting in the work to study because I lacked motivation and was having issues at home but now that I finished my prerequisites, I feel like I got a wake up call on just how much time I wasted. I just wasn’t trying academically and, even worse, did not drop my classes when I was failing and have F’s on my transcripts (Physiology/Anatomy) but have since retaken the courses and passed with a C in Physiology and B in Anatomy.

Again, I feel horrible about my C in Physiology because, even on my second attempt, I wasn’t trying and KNOW I could have passed it with a higher grade because now I really do feel passionate about it. I’m attempting to retake Physiology (where I know I can get an A) and Microbiology (where I got a C) this year at a different college but I don’t feel confident at all about getting accepted into a college even after I retake my classes with such a horrible transcript. 

Should I just consider private schools? I’m scared because I hear they are very fast paced and that the credits don’t transfer out. LVN isn’t an option for me because there isn’t any in my area and I would not be willing to relocate for that…

Amazing .. congratulations to you. So glad everything is going great for you. Never Give Up .

Same to you! I wish you luck in your journey to LVN! ?

Well, I failed again in the Summer of 2023. I decided to return to the same school for my LVN Spring 2023. I felt uncomfortable there and everything was good until my second-semester Summer 2023. I  failed 2 classes.  Maybe LVn is not me. I feel so down but I must get up this.

Keep going , there are plenty of RN s who failed and received C and lower. I work with them.

Failure is important to succeed! Not everyone gets it in one go. Don't give up but also don't rush yourself. Maybe focus on your weak points to determine what might be missing or if LVN is what you really want to do and also remember that there are also other options (like in my case RT which I'm in my last year for) that are just as important! You got this, girl! ? If you need someone to talk to, let me know! 

Thank you and will not give up. I took 2 yrs off and boy the desire to  become LVN   is still in my heart  so this  Summer I have take prerequisite for Lvn program at brand school and prayers.. My old prerequisite wasn't accepted  at the new school.
