Thank you for your responses. That relieved a good amount of concerns i had. :] I'm not 100% sure where I'm going to school, but I'm 90% sure it will be in Dallas/Fort Worth in Texas. I wont be able to start until Spring at the earliest for the prerequisites. Not until my husband gets a job. I do plan on kicking butt in the classes. I'm most likely going to borrow my sister's [she's in the LVN program at ACC] books before I even start to get a look-see at what I'll be up against.

I've been going to university for 4 years and just recently discovered that I don't want a career in what I'm studying for. I've switched majors 3 times, (art teacher, social worker, elementary school teacher) and have had pretty poor grades because I just wasn't motivated to do well. I've decided that I truly want to be a nurse. It's the first time I've been excited about any of the major changes I've made. I know getting accepted is competitive, and I'm very very worried about my chances of getting accepted. I'll be transferring to another school, wherever my husband gets a job as he's graduating this year and we wont be living near the school we currently attend. Does anyone know how the transferring of credits works? Will my GPA transfer over? Will they take the classes from my other majors and calculate them into a GPA at my new school even though they're irrelevant? Or will I just have to fork over the extra money and re-take classes that I've gotten poor grades in?
