I'm going to be straight with you, I didn't have the best GPA for my area. I had a 3.0 overall GPA. I had a B in micro (after a retake), a C in A&P 2, and a B in A&P 1. My GPA was a hindrance since I was in a state that has a great job market (Texas) and great nursing schools that were looking at least 3.2 average overall and 3.5 science. My area was more interested in the HESI and I failed that the first time. I never thought I would be in nursing school and was about to graduate with a degree I didn't want nor work for. However, God kept reminding me of my love for nursing. I couldn't leave my school without the degree I truly wanted so I worked my butt off. I got close to the director of the nursing program I was interested in. I made sure she understood that if I just was allowed the opportunity I would excel in nursing school. I applied for the first time through my school and didn't get in. I was going to give up. Nope God would not allow that. I told myself look at other nursing programs, do not give up because the fire in me knew I was destined to be a nurse. After 3 months I received an email from the director of my uni's nursing program telling me there is a program for those interested in the school's nursing program. If I was interested she would put me in. The program consisted of doing all the work it entails and getting an 80 or above in my HESI in all sections. I accepted it. I work my butt off studying for the HESI doing well in the class and I passed my HESI this time. I say all of this to say that you are going to be a nurse. If that means moving to another area or relocating so be it. If that means getting close to the directors of the program and having them put a face to your application so be it. You just need to continue having that drive. Apply and keep applying. Do not ever give up because what God has for you is for you. What is meant to be will be so don't give up. I was you last year thinking I would never be in nursing school, crying to be in anybody's nursing school and now I am in one. Don't give up, don't let statistics make you think it is impossible. Based on my stats I was never supposed to be in nursing school and I am in one and doing well in it LOL. Please don't give up. TLDR: DONT GIVE UP LOL

I switched my major to nursing in 2016 after realizing that nursing is meant for me and I see myself doing it for the long haul. Now I got a B in A&P 1 and prepared to take microbiology and A&P 2 of spring 2017.I took those classes and due to a death in my family I got a C on A&P 2 and C- on microbiology. I retook micro fall of 2017 and got a B and right now I am retaking A&P 2. Right now I am feeling very discouraged because I just want to make a good grade on this class so I can apply to the program at my school. Right now I have a C- due to a poor grade I made on the first exam. Now my professor is dropping this exam but I just took the second one and I feel like Im going to fail it again. I studied harder this time but the way my professor wants so much detail makes me feel like I will only fail this again. I have one more exam to take and Im just thinking maybe I should drop the class or just forget nursing. I know this sounds emotional and irrational and all over the place but I just want to be in nursing school and it hurts me that I am making poor grades in this class when I really am trying. Please someone give me advice.
