I understand that nursing is a lot of hard work and dedication. But I believe that nursing isn't only about high GPA and good test scores. I know nurses who have 4.0 GPA's and are ****** nurses because they are incapable of caring and connecting with patients. I also know numerous people who don't have the best gpa and got into nursing school and are way better nurses than whose who were straight A students. My gpa is as low as it is because of family issues I am not comfortable with discussing, but i am determined to become a nurse and I don't care how long it takes me. I was only asking for advice on what is the best option for me. You tell me to bring up my gpa but do not specify on how. (Should I retake classes, or take more classes, or what.) I really enjoy taking any science related courses (A&P, micro, patho, etc) I have done well in all those courses. It is the courses that don't interest me that are bringing down my gpa.

I am in desperate need of some advice!! I'm currently attending Salisbury university going into my junior year of college. I was a pre nursing major and was planning to get into their nursing program my sophomore year. Unfortunately, with my low gpa of a 2.56 my advisor suggusted that I start looking at other options or changing my major and doing second degree nursing. I decided to change my major to psychology with a biology minor and try to get into an accelerated second degree program at Salisbury or at any other schools that offer accelerated second degree. I am worried that I'm not going to be able to bring up my gpa high enough to get into any nursing programs and I'm not sure what the best route for me is. I also feel as if changing my major to psychology is a waste of time. Does anyone have any advice on what I should do or any other options ?!?!?!!? SOSSSSSS
