LPN to RN/BSN programs in saint louis

[3692nurse]

This question is for all nurses. I recently applied at Maryville University for their WEC BSN program only to find out I am very far down on the wait list, because the GPA competition is very competitive this year. I spoke with the gentlemen in admissions and he pretty much stated that I would have to retake some of my classes to increase my GPA to move farther up the list. This was very dishearting news, so I need to have a plan B. I already hold a bachelors degree from Maryville, I have taken all of the prerequisite classes that were required for Maryville, repeated classes from my previous vocational nursing school that were not a high enough accreditation level for community and university colleges to transfer. I have been an LPN for 2 years and have been pursuing my education since 2010, I want to obtain my BSN, however I am running into wait lists, currently my GPA is not strong enough, and I only have so much more financial aid therefore I need to find a program that is accredited that allows me to work while I attend school, Maryville fit my needs because it allowed me to work, but with this new news it could be years before I even start. Does anyone have any suggestions of other schools? Should I just get an RN diploma. I do not want to take an online program, I am more of a hands on learner/visual learner. Please help

Did you try STLCC? It would be an ADN, but it's a start.
