OK, where do I start. I live in California & have 1 semester left in order to receive my associates in science, I have Microbiology left. I am aware that nursing schools are HIGHLY competitive and unfortunately I have a 2.39 GPA and if I receive an A in micro I would be at a 2.96. Still low I know?I am a first generation student, throughout my college years I’ve had to work in order to survive as sad as that sounds, no help from parents... AT ALL. Which have caused my grades to be low. I know California ADN programs are still competitive like a 3.0-3.7 and private schools also want a 3.5 I only know of one lottery school don’t know many. I have no problem moving out of state for an ADN/AAS program I have saved enough money throughout college so I don’t have to work during nursing school. I’ve done research for out of state schools and I always seem to bump into something as far as the “point system” goes as well as some schools requiring to have a CNA license as a requirement to apply. Long story short I’m super frustrated and overwhelmed to the point where I don’t even want to look into more because it’s always something. Counselors at my college are kind of like, “here’s what you need to look for, good luck.” End of story. I’m looking for a school that will accept my GPA, is okay with my repeats in science courses which is four, no cna requirement, don’t have to be a resident. I’m losing all hope and I’ve cried for a week straight thinking I did all of this work for nothing. I’m really losing all motivation it’s hard when you’re clapping for your own self I have volunteer hours but some schools care about that others don’t. I do not want to go the cna, lvn, and then RN route because there are waiting periods and due to this covid 19 some aren’t in sessions and one counselor told me that if I take that route it’ll take 7 years to become an RN. There has to be at least one school that can accept me. I really hope some of you can help with answers I would greatly appreciate it??
