Looking for a nursing school

Hi everyone,

So, a little about me - Graduated from a CA state school with a degree in Marketing about ten years ago. Went back to school to do my nursing pre-req's and came out of it with a 3.8 GPA in the sciences. The problem I've been having is that my grades from my first degree weren't that great and really pulled down my GPA, which doesn't make me very competitive when applying for CA state schools.

My question is, where can I apply that would weigh my more recent grades more than the old ones? I'm willing to go anywhere in the country. Thanks for your help!

    Are you going for a BSN or ADN? It really depends. I think a lot of CC go off a points system rather than cumulative GPA. The BSN programs I know of go off of cumulative GPA. I'm doing an ADN and they go off of 4 classes and Teas. Only 2 of those classes are science. The others are English Comp and Psych. I would do some research on schools.

    Going for a BSN. I've noticed the points system with some schools, which doesn't really work for me. Worst case scenario, I might have to get another BS degree (probably in Biology or something similar), and be sure to do really well to boost my GPA.
