I am so confused and hope I can get some suggestions here. I attended college over 25 years ago, have an A.S in Computers, my gpa then was horrible 2.25 and 85% of those courses are not even applicable towards my A.A. or a nursing degree =( After a life changing experience, my 8 year old was diagnosed with cancer, I quit my executive assistant job earning $55K and dedicated myself to being her caregiver for three years. MY daughter is now in remission and a thriving 12 year old. I just completed my AA Degree in hopes of pursuing Nursing, my dilemna, my CUM GPA is still horrible now 2.59, and it is really hindering any chances of getting into an affordable nursing school. Little did I know that I couldn't start with a clean slate!I was just denied at PBSC, I didn't meet the point cut off. I really don't want to do a private college with a $50K+ debt. I live an hour north of BCC and an hour South of IRSC, which are options I am exploring? ANY else have a CUM GPA issue? I was hoping to do FAU BSN program, but again my CUM GPA is the issue. I am beginning to feel discouraged.
