MUSC hospital is a great place to start as a new grad. That was my first nursing job & I learned a lot. They have specific "new grad RN" postings. And back when I was a nurse there, you would...
You can also look at applying at another 4-year university. I went to a solid public university nearby, & as long as you had C's, you were golden. My university gave you a bit more chances for...
Keep your chin up, dear one. If your dream is to be a nurse, continue. I see what you have gone through reminds me a lot of myself. I struggled in school & now am a nurse of 9 years & have...
