so, i graduated from umass in 2006 with my bs in psych and french. as i was finishing up, i realized i wanted to go into nursing and took some classes that would help me qualify for the bacc. bsn program. long story short, my gpa is too low to get into the bsn programs( the result of a little too much fun my first two years, and promptly playing catchup the next two years.) most places require a minimum gpa of at least a 3.0 to even consider you. i would love to get into the an rn program, but they seem to be even more backlogged and more competitive than the bsn program. i feel the only option i'm left with is getting my lpn, then doing an lpn to rn program. i know that seems a little circuitous do people think getting your lpn than doing an lpn to rn is a total waste of time?
