TryinginTX

I'm getting a little discouraged lately by me reading the requirements to get accepted into a nursing program. I didn't take college so seriously back in my younger years, almost 5 years ago, so I had a lot of Withdrawals and a lot of F's because I just was too lazy to Withdrawal. A lot of my pre-reqs will be my 3 time taking them, and Psychology will actually be my 4th. The only college that I'm seeing a three strike rule with is Univeristy of Texas at Arlington, but is every other program like this also. I cannot, not be a nurse. It's my passion, my dream, the only thing I want to do with my life. I'm already in the medical field just not as a nurse. But it really is just my whole heart, and I will not give up to be a nurse, but am I being practical, do I even have a chance of being accepted? All of those classes that I have taken will not affect my GPA once they are retaken, even if I can manage to make all A's and have a 4.0 GPA will my laziness and stupid teenage years haunt me for the rest of my life? Im in the DFW area
