I have not- not sure if the 68c or 68w would offer a better chance at a BSN...

I have a previous BS in Pathobiology, but a low GPA and limited funds. My ultimate goal is to do travelling/ wilderness/ expedition/ disaster Nursing. In your opinion, what is a better route to an RN? 1. Pay to get pre reqs done, get an Associates Degree, get an RN 2. Join the Army as a 68-C reservist, get an LPN, do an LPN> RN program I'm 28, single, able to relocate easily, in decent physical shape. Having a hard time determining if the Army will provide what I need to advance my skills versus what I will give up to them.

Hi All! Hoping for a bit of advice. I graduated in 2011 with a BS in Pathology. I'd like to go back to school to get my RN. The catch- a poor Undergrad GPA (below 3.0) due to ADD. My first option was an ABSN- but I was told to get into an ABSN program like Queen's, it would require me to retake too many classes to get my GPA up to even be competitive. My next option was an Associates program. I figure the requirements are a bit lower, and I can always complete a RN to BSN program later. General Advice? Tips? I am a bit overwhelmed researching schools and nervous that my poor undergrad choices caused this career change to be too far out of reach. Are there any degree programs I should be looking at (preferably in the Charlotte area)?Are there any financial aid options for those seeking second degrees? Anyone run into issues getting hired with an Associates? Thanks everyone :)
