Emmarie, what I would do in your case is retake some subsitute classes. Ex. if you took Western Humanities and got a "B", then take World Religions, or Intro. to Philosophy and get that "A". The same goes for Ethics. Just take healcare ethics, and get an "A", if you got a B in the class previously. This should give you some extra weight on your GPA. Another option I would suggest is getting your LPN. This is what I plan to do. I don't have the time to sit around and wait on SPC. I' getting my LPN at Galen, and plan to quicklt transfer over to SPC bridge program. It's kinda pricey, but I get tuition reimbersment at Bayfront and will have a good paying job at this one nursing home I plan to work. ($23/hr) Not bad of a job while i'm completing my RN program. This option may not be best for everyone, but for me I have a son and he needs support. Galen PN program is only a yr long, and even though my current job at Bayfront dnt hire PN's I can still work as a tech, utilize my PN skills and make $19/hr( if I dnt get in at the nursing home) But I encourge you guys to a least consider a LPN program. Galen is still accepting applications for Aug. 15, 2011 start date. Just take the Pax-exam, and you cld get accepted on the spot! Good luck to you all. I really want to be a nurse, and if paying Galen is the way to it I will!(oh, also the VA/ Pinellas county Jail will back some of your loans)
