Hello everyone, I am a recent grad with a degree in biological sciences. However I have to admit that I didn't graduate with the highest GPA and it wasn't just ONE semester of bad grades, but more like 2 years (but I am even more motivated right now to turn my life around). I know the most popular option for degree holding people looking to go into nursing are those accelerated second degree programs. Yet I understand that I am not competitive enough to get a spot in one of those programs. The dilemma: Since I know I don't have the greatest grades, I'm planning to apply first to LVN/LPN programs and hopefully make my way up from there. I'm also planning to retake some of the science pre reqs to get higher grades. I just am worried about applying later after becoming an LVN to programs like a BSN. I am hoping to do well in LVN school, but I don't want my previous college work to be the only thing that schools look at. A lot of the BSN programs say that they look at ALL previous coursework, but my question is...will a strong performance in LVN school even matter if I did poorly in undergrad? Anyone with experience with this sort of thing?? Help is greatly appreciated! all this worrying is making me kinda depressed THANKS FOR READING!
