I need help!

Hi everyone,

I would like to find some help from anyone who may have knowledge about a specific problem I have incurred. I am 35 year old male, have a 3.8 GPA in the science core classes to go to nursing school. I have an A in Anatomy, Chemistry 101, Chemistry 102, Nutrition, English 101, and English 102. I have B's in both Physiology and Microbiology. I also took a speech 151 course at pierce college and I am not sure this will take the place of the speech pre-requisite. Would anyone happen to know this? Nevertheless, I find this a bit ridiculous because I am a member of toastmasters and give speeches weekly in front of 30 individuals in a professional setting. In addition, I have plenty of volunteer hours/payed work experience at Kaiser Hospital (for all of you east coasters who may not know what Kaiser is! lol). I also have a bachelors degree from UCSC in psychology from 2003.

The main issue I am facing is that the undergrad at UCSC was all taken when they had pass/no pass for all their course work and all of the schools I have applied to are counting my undergrad classes as C's. For example psych 101, developmental psych, sociology, and stats. As one might see this is significantly dropping my GPA.

Overall, I have done a lot of odd and end jobs in the past to get by. I am getting married soon and would like to purse my passion in the health field.

A little about the past two years: I applied two years in a row to different nursing schools and received one interview at Denver Colorado University for the fast track bachelors and the second year at Western University E-MSN program (preferentially on the west coast but I am not opposed to relocating if I have to). Unfortunately, I was not accepted to either. I would like to get into a E-MSN program or an acc-bac program. Please advice on which schools will take me.
