Hello everyone,

Just a little bit of information about me. I am a biological science major, Bachelor's in biology to be exact. I have enough classes to have a minor in chemistry and a minor in psych but of course you can't have two minors. So anyways my issue is that i have a very very very low undergraduate gpa. basically the low 2's. YEH i know!!! I've been looking into some options. I see that LPN programs are very helpful. What i want to know is that how important or beneficial would it be for me to get an LPN cert and then apply to RN school? Also i also read online, that private ASN or BSN schools are a easy way in but expensive. Is this true? Im not worried about money. I just need to get in. I want to stay around Ga,SC,NC,KN,TN,FLA,ALA But I will consider anything. Does anyone know of any LPN/BSN/ASN school prefferably accelerated that don't have such a harsh GPA requirement. Private would be fine for me. I heard chamberlain is one of them. I just need something that doesn't have a harsh GPA requirement. Also Does anyone know of any LPN schools that don't have a harsh GPA requirement I am really worried as to what my next step would be. LPN, Accelerated BSN, Doing pre-reqs over... etc...:bluecry1:anyone have any advice? I'm all ears. Thank You.

Hello,

Here is what I would do, If you are located in Ky... With all of your core courses and science I would apply to Murray State KY, With your GPA being in the range of 2.5 you would have a chance of Getting in; Simply because of your Sciences. Take a Couple of Classes to bring GPA up over summer. You can also check into The Community colleges in Ky for LPN. I started PN and now going RN with a Bridge to my Bachelors. I will tell you from my point of view and the area I am in, LPNs are required more of a knowledge base than the RNs very scary. But we are required to take a separate Pharmacology class, are classes are more compact and information packed than the RN.

Just food for Thought.

Thank You! What LPN school did you go? How long was it? How hard is it to get into? Is being an LPN program make it easier to get into Nursing school? Yeh my GPA is in that range. I will look into it. Thank You!
