Is there hope for me?

Published

I have been in school since 2012 and changed my major to nursing two years into school. I have applied to a nearby community college program and my acceptance would probably ride on me getting a 90% or higher on the TEAS. Because that is kind of an iffy thing, I feel a bit uneasy of my ability to get into nursing school. I do not know if there is anywhere else I could get into in California or outside of California with my grades:

Anatomy and Physiology 1: retaking but high chance I will have A

Anatomy and Physiology 2: B

Microbio: B

Developmental Psychology: B

Physics: A

Stats: C

Critical thinking: B

English: B+

Sociology: B

Humanities: A/A/A/A

Spanish: A-

Gen psych: C

Chemistry: C

interpersonal comm: B

Please tell me theres hope for me somewhere. Any advice helps

You could easily be accepted into nursing programs in the rural Southeast or certain parts of the Midwest with your grades. I've had colleagues who were accepted to nursing programs at local state universities with GPAs in the 2.8 range.

However, I do not see a great deal of hope for being accepted to nursing programs at California community colleges, CSUs or UCs. You'll be competing against candidates with 3.8 and above.

Are there any schools you would reccommend. I do not have a whole great deal of help, I would be doing everything on my own financially. So, there would have to be dorming.
