Sounds like jealousy and pettiness. They're also just having a hard time getting used to your new role from tech to nurse. You continue to be confident and they will eventually get over it.

Its interesting that Sacramento's campus has higher GPA requirement for the same school..

We have to remember that not all of our patients belong to a particular faith or belief. I get a little uncomfortable around that topic bc I’ve watched people get upset or sensitive over religious beliefs. I just say a prayer for all my patients before leaving their rooms or on my way home from work since it’s touchy subject.

Would like to develop the skills and knowledge for nursing school.

Don't be discouraged. Theres a lot of options here that can be done. It's also important to realize that everything happens for a reason and you may not understand why it occurred but you will later. You never know, depending on the 2nd nursing program youre in it may be 10x better or you may graduate with honors. you honestly don't know. Now you can get your RT if you like, OR you can do LPN (1 year) get you ASN after (1 year) get your BSN (1-2 year). OR you can do ASN (2 year) OR ASN (2 year) then BSN (1-2 year) OR BSN program with your prerequisites it may not even be 4 years, itll take 2-3 year. If your passion is nursing, don't give up on it. Just focus on becoming one, don't focus too much on timing.

There aren't any online bsn programs but there are online rn-bsn programs but only if you hold an ASN license.
