That may also be an option. I was afraid none of my gen ed classes would count, since they were not in a nursing capacity. At least where I went to school, classes could not be transferred between departments.

Thanks. It's definitely worth a shot! Just wondering if I should apply to multiple kinds of programs to increase my chances.

Hi everyone, I graduated with a BA in biology and Psychology, have been working in organ transplant for a little over a year, and I'm realizing that I want to go to nursing school. Actually, I realized this before I was about to graduate, but I didn't have enough time to switch majors. I'm trying to decide the best route to get my BSN. Unfortunately I went to a really hard school and graduated with a mediocre 3.3 GPA, in addition to one really awful semester where I had health problems and got a couple Cs and one D. Because of that, I'm fairly certain I'm not going to be competitive enough for an accelerated BSN in my area. I've since taken a few prereqs at community college and done well, as well as volunteered at a hospital for a year outside of work. However, I just don't think that will be enough to overcome my rough academic past. Do I stand a better chance if I go for an associate's first, and then pursue an RN-to-BSN?
