thank u guys for the support and encouragement! i will take all the advice to heart and not give up on my dream. i dont understand why getting into a nursing program is so hard considering the shortage of nurses in this country. i wont stop trying though thanx again!:loveya:

A and P I and II aced them, Micro I got a b ,Stat I dropped due to a failing midterm prognosis. I thought that was best rather than fail. I feel like I will be a student forever. I have another question do u know if I could get a job in a hospital with only prereqs to back me up? I am willing to do anything I just wanna be in that enviroment. I think that will boost my spirits.

Thanx for the encouragement! The cutoff for tenn tech is 50 i got 49 twice, totally sucks right. As for retaking the classes i have and i passed, but the director said nursing schools look at how many times u have taken the class all together she said if u repeat a course too many times u are not an "ideal candidate". And tutoring, they know me by name. I am a writer I killed my essays , passed all the English portions of the entrance test with flying colors , math is my enemy.

For the laast three years I have lived and breathed nursing, its all I think about. i am finished with prereqs finally. I just transferred to a university from a community college very excited to apply to their nursing program. I had an important meeting with the director of the program and she basically told me my math grades were too low to qualify for admission. I was immediately heartbroken but then I asked her if nursing was a realistic goal for me based on my math scores,once again she said no. She said basically no school would accept me, my scores were too low and competiton is too high. I tried Tenn Tech but got rejected twice because my math scores were one point off, one freaking point! My question is what do I do now? I have to become a nurse there is nothing else I want more in life I need this. What do I do? What career goal could I reach for that would be close to my dream career? ANY ADVICE WOULD BE APPRECIATED!

I have a question for u not advice. How long did it take for u to get accepted and what was your GPA if u don't mind my asking? I am reallly getting discouraged with myself.I'm starting to rethink nursing as a career for me. I was reading your post and I was really inspired. I would apprecaite any more good news u have. Congrats!!

I have been takin pre-reqs for almost two years and I am sick of them too. The good thing is u can retake them to get a higher grade if u mess up one semester. Just hang in there and thank God u have the much needed info!
