Less Competitive CSU Nursing Programs?

Hello! Of course, I am a pre-nursing student trying to find a realistic direction to head down the next few years. But I feel like all hope is lost for me.. I took psych a few years ago and received my first C ever because my boyfriend had cancer and I was highly distracted.

The core pre-reqs that most schools look for I have decent grades in:

Eng Written Com: A

Eng Critical Thinking: A

Stats: A

A&P 1: A

A&p 2: A

Anthro: A

Chem: B

Comm: B

Psych: C

I still need to take Nutrition, Human Development and Micro but I KNOW I can get A's in those classes. I also have three years of high school Spanish, plan on volunteering 100 hours at a local hospital and studying my butt off for the TEAS.

I really feel like with my two Bs and a C I am screwed..

Should I still try to pursue nursing? If I do are there any CSUs that I may have a shot at?

Sac State, Chico and Sonoma are what I would prefer because I am from Sacramento.

Please tell me there is hope for me!!!

    Get A's in the rest of your class and then get a really high TEAs score (95+) and you might have a shot at sac state. I'm not sure but maybe you can repeat the psychology course at another school? 2 B's usually is pushing it but a C probably will definitely make it difficult. But if you do really well on your TEAs, you might be able to make up for it. That and I would suggest you apply everywhere, including other CSU's. Don't limit yourself to CSU's too. There are other pathways to nursing if you really want to be a nurse as well. LVN to BSN. Community colleges have great ADN programs as well and you can always go from RN to BSN after (basically another half semester to a year). There is hope. One letter grade does not and will not ever define your future. :)

    You need to look at the points each school requires. Consider an ADN program at a community college that has a C-Post program worth a CSU. Broaden what you are looking for. If your goal is a BSN, you can do that in the same amount of time at a community college that offers a C-Post.
