i just wanted to thank everyone who replied and helped me out with my questions that i had! i really appreciate the help and support and am tremendously glad i joined this message board! gl to everyone (even myself) in your future endeavors!

USF does? Geez... the way it's sounding I may only want to apply to CC and save my money for tuition!!! And to think... if I woulda chosen nursing in the first place I might not be in this boat. There is no way I can raise my GPA to that with just my pre-reqs alone. Hopefully I can find a college that suits me!

Thankfully FL is a lot cheaper! It's very intimidating... Can't wait to start the pre-reqs to prove how well I can do. Good Luck with everything! I'm sure things will work out for the best for both of us!!!

That was more than helpful! I really have considered applying to both just in case. And you are definitely right, CC are WAY cheaper! Thank you so much... all the points you made, all the questions I should probably ask... all things that were kinda scrambling in my head but I couldn't really make out. I will be taking A&P I and II, Microbiology, and Nutrition over the next year or so to prep me for schooling. I'm taking them at a local CC and I am going to apply there plus a couple of universities near my old home town (Jacksonville, FL) and a couple of universities near my fiancee's old home town (Tampa, FL). I am definitely writing down all those questions and calling admissions/counselor that can help me out and find the right method for me! I really appreciate all this help and hopefully one day soon I can call myself an RN!!! Thanks again!

Hi Everyone! First off I would just like to say I am so glad I stumbled onto this site, it's amazing to see all this interaction amongst nurses/future nurses. I was hoping to get some help from some of y'all. I recently graduated from UF with a B.A. in Sociology. I had some ups and downs which led to a miserable GPA. I was hoping to take some of the science pre-reqs and eventually apply to nursing school. I would prefer to get another Bachelor's degree but I am fearful that I will not be admitted into an upper division nursing program because of my very flawed pass. I am by no means ruling out the possibility of getting a ADN, but I was wondering if anyone else has been in this situation and how they went about applying for schools, etc. I really don't want my dream to end just because of poor performance that I know is very atypical for me. Please help me out in anyway! Thanks!
