Hello,
I am currently ending my second semester as a freshman, and going into my sophomore year this fall. I can admit I didn't get great grades, and I am currently around a 2.5 GPA. I didn't push myself as I usually do in with first year of college, and I regret it.
However, I started having some intrest in becoming a nurse. My school has a BSN nursing program, but it requires a 2.8ish GPA. I spoke to one nursing advisor at my uni. She gave me advice to try to aim for all A's next semester, to try to raise my GPA, but even then, it's unlikely I'll be able to get into a BSN nursing program, which I understand. She told me instead I should major in health science. Did I ruin my chances of becoming a nurse? The meeting kind of made me lose my motivation tbh, is there another route I can take?
Note: I did hear about Accelerated BSN programs that I can try to take after I get a bachelor's in another major. What should I major in to help me? I'm kind of in a hole.
