I definitely will not rule it out, thank you again

That's really awesome. I wish you all the best. I'm definitely going to apply to some associate programs. I live in NYC and I know off I was in another state the gpa requirement may have been a little different. I wish you all the best.

I want to get into nursing because I want pursue a career as a pediatric nurse. I only mentioned child life because I currently volunteer for them at a children's hospital. I see what the nurses do and like I said before there is little to no interaction. Which is turning me off a little because I want to be interactive with my patients. Is that a bit more clearer for you?

I have not tried for profit private schools because not all are accredited. I haven't tried ADN programs but I think that will be my next step.

Thank you for your advice. I have a B.A in Children and Youth Studies. So I can go into any field that pertains to children. I have taken all my pre-requites for nursing. So I'm not entirely sure on how I can bring up my gpa. But I'm definitely looking into 4 year programs where I can go in as a transfer student and finish before the 4 years. Thank you again !

So I graduated with a 2.7 gpa for my undergrad. I applied to 6 nursing schools, 4 are accelerated second degree programs and two are transfer programs. I heard from 3 so far and did not get into those programs. Patiently waiting on the other 3 schools. However, I've be contemplating about nursing school and becoming a nursing. I currently volunteer as a Child Life volunteer at a Children's hospital. I love what I do as a volunteer and want to become a Child Life specialist one day. However, I'm not so interested in what the pediatric nurses do simply because their interactions with the patients are little to none & I want to interact with my patients and make them happy and give them hope even though they're going this rough patch. So I'm not sure if my gpa or volunteering experience is discouraging me. But any advice or tips is apprenticed.
