Yeah that was going to be my next plan, how hard is it to get a job in the hotels as like a front desk person or reservations or something like that?

Nevermind, I spoke with another adviser and got everything explained to me perfectly thanks anyway all! :monkeydance:

I spoke with an advisor about the PRE NURSING and it's 2.5 for PRE 3.0 for BSN. Now i need someone to exaplain something to me because the advisor i spoke with over the phone i don't think understood my question. OK...so let's say my GPA to enter P...
