I stil have a few classes to finish up for my first degree this summer and I need the second half of the summer to plan out what I'm doing and what school I want to go to and everything. I want to move quickly, but I don't want to rush either. Thanks though! Do you go to school there?

Awesome, thank you! I am so excited to start this.

I am finishing up my first bachelors degree this summer in film and want to enter the nursing field. Where is everyone taking their prerequisite classes? Do I just sign up for them at a community college and take the classes until I've completed (and aced) them all? Should I take them all at the same school, or can I take one class at one school, and on at another if the scheduling works better? IS there any specific program or degree I should apply under? I haven't seen anything about where to take these classes so I would love to know. Should I take them at a school that has a nursing program or does that not matter? Thank you!

Thank you all for your responses! This was very helpful. I will finish up my Bachelors ASAP and then get to work on my pre-requistes moving forward. Esme12, to thank you for this information as well. I want to be a nurse so I can do real good and help people around me. Working in film is fun and rewarding in its way, but I know I can and should do more. My life pupose is to make positive change in the people around me. Thank you so much everyone, I'll be looking around and back with more questions as I keep going through this process :)

Hi everyone, My name is Jonathan and I'm new to this site! I've been trying to find advice for my current situation but have not found any. Here is my background: I went to a four-year school for film production. I've been out of school for a few years, but still need to finish three courses, (2 art and 1 math) to complete my degree. My GPA is low (2.16) because I was focused on my social life and was working in the film industry more then studying for my classes. In high school I was in AP Bio and loved science and worked for years in radiology as a tech-aide. I want to now go to school to be a nurse, but am having some difficulty determining which is the best way to go. Here are my questions: I want to finish my BS in film this summer with online courses, but am wondering, would it be helpful if I re-take classes during the next year to raise my undergrad GPA? I know I need to take pre-requisite courses to even apply to any nursing programs and was originally planning on taking them at a Community College near Boston instead of the school I am currently enrolled in. If I re-took art classes to boost my GPA and also started taking pre-requisites classes at the same school, would that look better then having a low GPA degree with higher pre-requisite courses from a different institution? I am just starting to look at all my options and want to put myself in the best position I can at this point to follow my new dream. Any advice you can offer would be very helpful. Thank you so much!
