Private school for nursing

I really need help. Im almost done with my pre-requisite for nursing but unfortunatelly my GPS is around .3.20. I know that is not good if you really want to apply for a community college nursing program. Im going to apply anyways but I have to be ready for a NO. I live in Florida in the tampa area, there are some private school that I will be going to check this coming week but I need you opinion. I know they are very expensive. Im more worry about how good the school are. I have SPC of course and HCC (community colleges) also Galen College and South University. South university has a BSN I know it's really $$$$ but I wonder if any of you know something about this university. It is good?, It is worth it?. Please help:uhoh3:

    Your state Board of Nursing should publish the NCLEX pass rates for all of the schools in Florida. Use this data to help in your decision making. There are many excellent private schools in the country (Johns Hopkins and the University of Pennsylvania are consistently rated in the Top 5 nursing schools in the country and both are private schools). However, there are also some for-profit schools that are more businesses than educational bodies.

    The national average for NCLEX passrate is about 85%. You will want to be sure that you will pass the RN licensing exam (especially considering the money you will need to pay/borrow for that education). I would be cautious of spending lots of money at any school whose pass-rate is much below the national average.
