First, let me extend my gratitude to all of you working in these scary and trying times! So, I'm a 24 year old guy, and stupid, immature thoughts about me being a male nurse back in high school kept me from pursing my passion. There is nothing more gratifying than helping people who need it the most. My current career trajectory does not afford such opportunities, so I want to become an RN like I should have from the start. After some research, becoming and RN is so much more complicated than I thought! I have a BA in humanities with no prerequisites, and I'm extremely nervous about the science courses. I passed my GE sciences for my BA with no problem, but I've never taken anything like microbio, chem, anatomy, or physiology. The lab components especially worry me. Anyways, I was hoping someone could be so kind so as to answer some questions I have. 1.) Are there any online resources or classes that can give me good idea of my aptitude for the prereqs, preferably with assessments to know how much I understand the material? 2.) I got a 3.0 GPA from my BA at Berkeley with little studying. I'm also in hyper-competitive California. Be brutally honest, please. Even if I do well in my science courses, is there a realistic chance of getting into any affordable ABSN, or even ADN, nursing program here? If I don't get in, I wouldn't mind paying up to go elsewhere in the country. I want this that badly! 3.) What is considered a good GPA to have in the prerequisites? I've heard just one B (a frikin' 3.9!) can ruin someone's chances. 4.) Because of life circumstances, I'll start this process in about 10-12 months. Now, if you were in my shoes, what would you do to become an RN? I'm in the Inland Empire in California if that helps in anyway.
