Thank you for your response, this was extremely helpful & made me feel a bit better lol ! My grades were actually pretty good in my health science classes such as A&P, Med term, etc... the lowest score i received in any of my science classes are B. Im most likely going to take a few extra classes this summer just boost my GPA to at least a 3.0 bc a lot of nursing programs require nothing lower than that.

Hey guys, okay so after reading a ton of these articles and just from listening to people talk, it sounds like nursing is not very rewarding...and not worth the struggle of schooling. Ive wanted to be a nurse for years but im starting to get discouraged...I hear many people complain about how they dont get paid well, they get treated very badly by doctors and patients, and how its not worth it or even how they CANT FIND JOBS! i was told nursing is in high demand. I dont want to struggle and fight through all the hard work for something thats not going to pay me well or not feel very rewarding at the end of the day or when i graduate i cant even find a job.... Its making me kind of nervous to pursue this career now? Are there any nurses who can say anything positive? Or how they actually enjoy what they do?

Hey guys, i just need your opinion on my situation.... I'm 25 years old and was having some issues after high school. I went straight to Community college (health science) but i kept having set backs due to 'family issues'...long story short it took me 6 years to finish a 2 year program! and i had to retake a few courses a long the way. My overall GPA is about a 2.6 maybe a little higher. (Will be higher after i take my last couple of courses) i retook a few classes and passed them with B's or A's. Do you think b/c it took me so long to finish my associates degree and the fact I had to re-take courses will effect my chances of getting into nursing school? i just don't want to waste my time even trying if i have no chance. What should my next option be? Is there a way to start fresh from square one at a new school out of state ( I plan on moving in a year) Any advice would help. Thanks guys!
