So I was in the same boat. I had a GPA right under 3.0 for my associates degree...life happens. I decided to get the BSN first which brought up my GPA and I was able to get a job paying $5000 a year more than my previous job. I am now a year into the FNP program and maintaing a 4.0. Do what works best for you. I looked into the ADN to MSN but I was worried about getting halfway through and not having a degree. Getting the BSN was a good step for me. Take care! Sam

I completely understand why it would be hard for you to complete a program like that! I don't know much about osu but it would be something to look into. On mount carmels website (mccn.edu) it says they require a minimum 3.0 GPA in all previous coursework. There is more info on their website.

If you are going to have a bachelors degree you should consider a second degree or advanced placement such as mount carmel or osu (Im not sure if chamberlain offers one and there could be other out there too). I know that at mount carmel if you have a bachelors degree in another field you can attend their second degree program to earn a BSN in 13 months. It is full time and its time consuming but it would be worth it if you already have a bachelors degree. Good luck in pursuing your nursing career!
