Hey guys i really need some help. I'm looking at ABSN programs. I am about to graduate in May and would love to go to school in the fall is possible. But I'm looking for programs to apply to since the schools that I have applied to are not really accepting me at this time. I have failed out of a program once before for nursing due to grades below C but I did retake the classes. My GPA is 3.14 and I have the classes needed completed but I'm struggling to find programs that will take me. Any advice on what to do or schools to apply for would really help me. Thank you everyone for your time and hopefully your help. Anything you can give me would be wonderful.

Just continue to apply and be open to relocation. Unfortunately, your past history (failing a program, retaking courses) and your current g.p.a. do not make you a competitive applicant. ABSN are extremely rigorous and, therefore, highly selective and preferential of candidates that demonstrate the academic ability to be successful.
I would recommend considering a less academically rigorous route such as a traditional BSN since you have a number of undergraduate courses completed that should transfer.
However, nothing is an absolute. Continue to apply and you may get accepted to an ABSN. Good luck to you!
