New approach

[Incog_23]

Hello,

I recently got dismissed from my BSN program for failing two classes. Im not much of an experienced CNA or LPN. I'm just a rookie just starting to know the concepts of nursing and my school that I went to sort of taught that way. The gpa that was required to get into that school was a 2.8. I live in Florida around Miami area. Is there any advice you can give me? I'm really looking into going the LPN route and get some experience before I can go back to a BSN program. Im also looking into appealing my dismissal or I can find a better school.

Should I take the LPN route and get some experience?

What BSN programs accept a minimum gpa of a 2.8?

Are there any schools that teach thoroughly?

Since you have failed out of a nursing program, many schools may be hesitant accepting you into their program. Most ASN and BSN nursing programs are going to be competitive and a 2.8 GPA is not competitive. Check the Florida BON website to find the NCLEX pass rates for LPN/ASN/BSN nursing programs.

Find programs in your area that have a pass rate >80%., then contact those schools directly about your GPA and failing another program, they will let you know if your GPA or dismissal would prevent you from applying.

Do not apply to schools with a low NCLEX pass rate. They may accept you, but you will have little chance of passing NCLEX.
