I made poor judgments during my university days and need some real advice.

Published

Hello. Please be very honest with me and not sugarcoat anything. I graduated with a bachelor's degree in History with a 2.17 because of not being focused and goal-oriented when I attended UC Santa Barbara. Being alone and having the freedom to do whatever I want really caught up to me. My first 2 semesters, I failed 4 classes. I barely graduated with a 2.17 gpa which I am terribly embarrassed about. I was in a rut and felt utterly hopeless about life and wanted to give up. I decided to enroll at El Camino College, a local community college near where I live. I decided that I wanted to pursue a career as a RN. I currently have a 3.47 gpa in my prequisites. In my core classes, I have an A in Microbiology, B in Anatomy, and B in Physiology. I needed advice as to how I can improve my chances of getting into an ADN program. Also, if I don't transfer over my transcripts from the University would they somehow find out? I so regret not taking my education seriously in my early 20's and it has definitely caught up to me. I would love to hear from people who are in similar situations as well as current RN's who can give me some real advice. Thank you so much!
