Nurses General Nursing

I have already obtained an undergraduate degree outside of nursing and I would like to attend an accelerated BSN program. I would like to eventually apply to a CRNA school once I complete my BSN and get some experience in the ICU. Will CRNA programs look more at my grades from my first bachelors degree or my BSN degree? I took science classes in undergrad including general chemistry, general physics, general biology, organic chemistry, and biochemistry. I did not do great in all of these classes and many of them I had to repeat to just get a C. I definitely did not do well in biochemistry since I made an F the first time and only made a D on the second try. My time in undergrad was definitely occupied with several extracurricular activities which contributed to many of my bad grades. My cumulative average for my first degree is still a 3.0 despite having some bad grades here and there.

I depends. Some may look at that, some may look at BSN +GRE. It all depends on the school.

Good luck!
