I am getting ready to start the ASN program next month. I was told the same rumors when I was doing my pre-reqs. The advisors even tell you to have a plan B in case Nursing doesn't work out for you. I applied to 3 campuses and was accepted at all 3. I had all A's and a 82 on my TEAS. I did receive a B in one of my anatomy classes, but chose to retake it to get the A. I have a friend that is starting with me in August and she had a B in one of her classes and chose not to retake the class and made it in. It takes hard work, but it definitely not impossible. I have been out of high school for almost 20 years and still was able to do it. Just don't give up! I know there were several times I thought about it, but I'm so glad I stuck in there! Good Luck!
