private nursing program or wait years to get in?

Hello!

It is that time of the month where we receive our acceptance or rejection letters from nursing school and unfortunately, I received rejection letters from all the programs I have applied to. Right now, I am looking into private schools. My overall GPA and grades in the science prereqs are not competitive at all. I received B's in Anat and Physio and a C in Micro and I have no experience in the medical field that would help me earn points to some programs that uses this system.

I would like to know your experiences and opinions on going to the private school route. It seems that it is my only option, however the cost is just ridiculous.

Or I can also wait for years and for the time being become a CNA or Phlebotomist. But with that, it is still not guaranteed that I would get into nursing school.

I would really appreciate it if you guys can share your thoughts on this.

Thank you and best of luck to all of us!

    It may also be worth moving, if you aren't tied down with a family, to a town with a program which allows you to retake your science courses. I know a girl who is taking anatomy for the third and fourth time at my school.
