I wanted to be a nurse for over 15 years. I'm a cna who finally got a liberal arts degree last year in May. I switched my majors due to many hours working nearly daily as a low wage cna with rent ect. I withdrew from dcccd A&P classes twice in the year 2014....
I learned recently that when trying to apply at Dallas nursing institute for RN....instead of puting W they put F twice! I called the dean...well was told thats who I'm suppose to talk to and she wants me to prove I withdrew in the year 2014......after hanging up I couldn't help,but to cry. No Rn problem will accept me....except West cost university....which cost 6 figures.
Im low income,no family,no boyfriend or husband,no friends who could help....just me myself and I.
I don't know what else to do.
Any advice and no I don't have a interest in lvn.
I'm hearing at west coast you have to come up with monthly payments...there have been times I can't feed myself due to high rent. I want to be a nurse so badly,but...
I failed a physiology class which disqualified me from all the BSN programs in the area as they are super competitive. So I studied my butt off for the entrance exams at an ADN program, got a great score, explained my past failures and got in. I finished and I am about to start an RN-BSN program online. No it’s not the path I wanted but at the end of the day, I’m in a way better position than i was before.
Also don’t knock down LVN’s, it gets you entry level experience, it’s easier to get into, affordable and in many cases, as short as year. LVN’s are still nurses and make way more than CNA’s, I would rather do that without much debt than go into a 6 figure RN program and be in debt for the rest of my life.

True about lvns....
ADN your state must be better. Texas is a awful unforgiving state. I can't even do ADN. I may have to be in debt forever no way out.
