I screwed up my nursing career by going to a 4yr college when I wasn't ready, and I flunked 1/3 of the classes I took. I've retaken almost all of those classes and graduated with a 2yr degree in pre-nursing. I can't get into ANY nursing schools in Tennessee because the first thing the nursing directors look at is your GPA. I just graduated with my certificate for medical assisting, paid $13,000 to go to Remington college and I'm stuck in unemployment h*ll. So please heed my warning, go for LPN or RN....if you can get accepted. I'd donate $20,000 and a kidney just to get into a nursing program. I called a nursing program director because the school had empty seats in the program and she told me that they had to let go of some of the nursing instructors. By the way, does anyone know if there's a bridge RMA-LPN? Thanks and good luck.
