Hello Nursing and Pre-Nursing Students Alike! I've been a lurker for quite sometime and have finally made an account! A little background: I have my bachelors in Psychology from Sonoma State (2015 with a 3.33 gpa) and am currently at a Bay Area community. college taking the Big 4 prerequisites (A/P/C/M). BUT I'm not doing so hot. I've had to retake anatomy (got a B the second time) and now I am currently retaking Physiology. I have a C in both Chem and Micro and a 3.03 gpa. I'm in the process of starting volunteering with Kaiser and I have 2 semesters worth (300 hours) of working with kids with ASD. My heart is set on nursing but I don't think my gpa. I've been looking at ELMSN, ABSN and BSN programs but I really don't think I'm up to par. Im considering maybe getting my BS in Health Sciences and finding out there if nursing is really for me because it's taking me this long to get through the prereqs. Sorry for the long rant! I've been to plenty of info sessions and I just feel discouraged. I know the Bay Area is notoriously overpacked and competitive but I just DO NOT want to give up. That says something about me, right? Any advice would seriously be greatly appreciated. The counselors at my community college are not helpful and I'm just looking for some ray of hope that nursing can be my future. Sincerely, disheartened but hopeful
