I appreciate this so much. Thank you for the words of encouragement.

Hi guys. I'm coming on here because I've never been more desperate for help and advice. I am currently a pre nursing student in Texas at a regular public school with a 3.3 GPA overall 2.0 science GPA. I know it's bad. I'm a junior right now and am retaking chemistry I and currently have an A. I'm planning on retaking Functions of Bio as well because I got a C in there as well. I haven't taken microbio yet and am in A&P 1 right now. I'm struggling so badly in Anatomy and Physiology and with the state of my GPA I'm scared I'm not cut out to become a nurse even though it has always been my dream. I also have 4 W's. When I was a senior in high school I ran away from home due to having a bad family life and had to take a W for my dual credit courses I was enrolled in. That sucks that I have to live with that on my transcript now. My freshman year of college I messed around and didn't take it seriously and dropped functions bio lab. Another W. Last semester I tried to take A&P 1, didn't last two weeks before dropping because I had never failed a test that bad before in my life, and was diagnosed with hypothyroidism and endemitriosis in the span of a month. I know I can get my GPA up now, but is it a waste of money to even apply to nursing schools at this point? I know all you can say is "it depends on the school" but I just want to know if this is doable. It sucks so badly feeling like I wasted all of this money to go to school for something that I can't pursue. Should I just get a degree in health sciences and move on with my life and kiss my dream of nursing school goodbye? I have always had such high hopes of becoming a nurse, I even got my CNA license and have been working as a CNA for the past two years to get experience in the field. It hurts me so deeply that I am 20 now and the people in my courses are freshmen doing it right the first time, applying to the nursing school offered at my college because they have the prestigious GPA for it.
