Pre-Nursing

Hello,

I recently started my second year of college with an embarrassingly low GPA due to having to retake a gen ed course and being a C average student. A few of my family members have been advising me that I should try Nursing however I am worried that I may have ruined my chances of bringing my GPA up to a 3.5. A 3.7 just sounds unrealistic for someone like me. :unsure:

If I were to maintain a 3.0 as my CUM GPA but a 3.4 for my pre-requisites would that even give me a chance? So far I am making B's in the two pre-requisites I am taking. The nursing school I have looked at requires a 2.8 GPA for their pre-requisites and average GPA of getting accepted into the school.

My main worry is getting through those courses, because ever since elementary school my focus hasn't been the greatest and I have a hard time with getting my brain to actually pay attention. What can I do to boost my application up? Or simply even focus in those science classes.

    It really depends on your area and how competitive the programs around you are. Every school is different, so no one on here can really give you any good information about it. Ask the schools you're interested in attending what their admissions criteria are and what the average accepted applicant falls in relation to those criteria. You don't say if you're only interested in an ADN or BSN or even an LPN program, but you may want to try to find a school that only considers prerequisite GPA. Best of luck to you.
