Thank you so much for all the advice i found a ADN program that is approved by the state board of nursing in CA. I am going to visit the college and get more info about the pre-req.

@pc2801 thanks for the advice! Do you think it'll be better if i go back to college and get a second bachelors or just do the pre-reqs and raise my gpa that way?

@afoster1 i havnt pursed anything yet. Just gathering all my facts before applying to anything

Thank you guys for responding! I understand that it is very hard to get into the programs with my gpa. But i still have hope because i need to take all the pre-reqs for the nursing program..which i havnt even started...which leads me to another question...since i already have a BS..where can i take the pre-reqs for nursing and what are the general pre-reqs required for the Rn license?

hey guys, I am a recent grad with a degree in Business Marketing and live in CA, however I have a very low GPA (2.28). Ya i know its bad but family and keeping them fed was a huge issue. Anyways, I am now trying to go into the medical field and get a BSN degree or at least become a RN. I have been looking online for the past two weeks and have heard that every nursing program requires a 3.0 GPA, is that true? Is there anyway around that? I am very confused about what steps to take and how to start going for my RN license. Please HELP! Any Ideas? Thank you in advance!
