pre-nursing advice

Help! I need pre-nursing advice. I have been a veterinary nurse for 11 years and have recently decided to go back to school for Nursing. my GPA is not very high at 2.61 I didn't really care about school when I was younger and my GPA paid the price. I'm having trouble getting into nursing school. I have an associates degree in applied science so I don't know if it would be faster for me to go the BSN route or RN. Some people I've talked to also say if I'm having trouble getting into school for RN I should get my LPN then go back for RN I'm so confused. Every nursing school around me wants a different entrance exam. I have taken my NET and received good scores. Should I take the TEAS and HESI tests as well? Should I take some more classes to raise my GPA? Any advice would be appreciated.:heartbeat

    Talk to an advisor at your school and see what they suggest.

    Are you applying to public colleges? Have you completed all the pre-reqs?

    Yes I have completed all my pre-reqs. I have only applied to the community colleges in the area.

    Apply to both RN and LPN programs to maximize your chances for acceptance. If you get into RN, great. If you get into LPN, great too. You can just bridge over to RN after you are done. You can also try to find a school that look sat only your pre-req GPA or maybe just an entrance exam. The school I am applying to looks at both pre-req GPA and the TEAS for the RN program, .and just the TEAS for LPN. Do some research of what the schools want and you can go from there.

    Oh, and I used to be a vet tech, too. Isn't it funny how animals and humans are so alike? :)

    At my community college you can re-take a class and if you get a better grade it will replace the poor grade. Also if you have any F's, my college has a program where you can get them taken off. Definately go talk to an advisor about ways to get your GPA up.
