Need Advice please help

I know you are only 20 years old, but you are wanting to become a nurse, who is a professional in their field. It is never too early to start presenting yourself as a professional. Writing in text speak and shorthand might be okay for text messages, but when looking for advice from educated people, you might get more of a response if you write professionally.

Good luck

Your post is a little confusing, and not just because it's hard to decipher, but are you in the nursing program or taking pre reqs? If you are just doing pre reqs you have time to bring your GPA up if you buckle down, unless you are just about done with pre reqs. You also have your TEAS score (or HESI) depending on your college, so you can bring up your chances by doing well on that. Your adviser will let you know what you need to do, and she/he will sit down with you and make out a plan. Just stick do it and do well. Good luck!

I hope that the schools that you plan to apply to don't require an essay.

I sadly could understand it but it did take a few extra mins. I always wondered how those who grew up with texting would do with writing in a formal setting.

Prime example of how nurses eat their young. You offered nothing except criticism. Why did you even waste your time responding?

I'm a huge advocate for LPN school, for those in your situation. It's a more lenient transition to nursing, not easier, just more lenient. In addition to the initial licensure, you can pursue an ADN, at your own pace. Although, I didn't become a LPN first, many of my friends who did not pass courses in our ADN program did. Good Luck and study hard!

I have been an LPN for 17 years and I am now trying to fill out the interview question portion of the application. All my answers seem to be ridiculous. They are true but sound like I am trying to hard. Any advice?

well ill give some solid advice here. if your attending community college and dont have a competitive gpa, i would recommend going the LPN route. with how competitive RN programs are, they want top grades, and with how easy community colleges are compared to universities you may need to work towards better grades or go a route that isnt as competitive. either LPN or CNA would be a route to go.

and to also say it, write professionally. If you cant write as if this was serious why should i take your question seriously?

I would take a "college success" class. This is a class that has you learn about your study skills, and looks into different careers based on your goals. An excellent professor in this class really makes a difference, as they will be helping you to decide which path is best given your skills. So select a great professor for this class.

Planning the correct career path is very important, so post if you have more questions.

Could you go speak with your advisor?

They may be able to help you decide on a good course of action since they would know your grades and how much you would need to bring them up to get into nursing school.
