hiddencat...again, thank you for the reply...what school and program are you enrolled/accepted in? I would love to speak with someone in admissions there. You are not just someone saying "you should do this or that", you are some what in my boat with your foot in the door. If you are comfortable providing such information I would like to know where you attend school, or will be attending the 2nd degree bsn program. Good job - by the way! Very good job on your behalf.

Dino, thank you for responding to my inquiry with real, solid info! I will look into these things and by the way I had Anatomy and Physiology as well as Microbiology and got a B in Anatomy and an A in Micro...Thanks again.

Hello ALL, I am new to this site but have come across sllnurses.com countless times! I finally joined b/c I have a "customized" question. I have a degree in biology (with a decent science gpa) but an overall low gpa. I want to enroll into a nursing program but am having great difficulty finding one that even looks as though I may have a chance to get in once I review the admission requirements. I am in PA and want to know if you know of any programs that allow "provisional acceptance" or allow students to take a few classes and based off of successful grades, allow admission into their program? I coasted by in undergrad, not even thinking that one day the gpa I got would determine my life. If I can pass classes like organic chemistry, biochemistry and calculus, I think I deserve a chance to at least try and prove myself in a nursing program but schools are looking at your gpa and if it doesn't fit then you are not in...can anyone offer me advice. I was 22 when I graduated undergrad in 05' and did not make the best decisions, now that I want a 2nd chance to do something with myself it seems as though admissions won't allow it. I need HELP! not pitty... Can you provide any?
