I'm in my first semester of pre-reqs and I'm trying to figure out what I should do before I apply for nursing school. I have about a year left of pre-reqs and I haven't determined whether or not I will apply for a 2 or 4 year degree. I also have an 18 month old son and my husband and I are are debating on whether or not we should have another baby soon before i actually apply to nursing school so there isn't a big gap or if I should wait till I'm done with school. I know this is a silly question but I figured this would be the best place to ask. Thanks

I will have a 3.4 I believe I will have to retake but the way the program works at my school is you are allotted points for each grade from each class which is combined with your hesi exam and other things then totaled and you are placed on a wait list. It's great for decreasing the wait list however you are given points based on the first time you take the class. It wouldn't matter if I retake it unless I apply elsewhere

I am about to finish my first semester of pre-reqs and I'm starting to worry. I'm really struggling with my biology and after talking to my councelor I am extremely worried. He showed me applications of students that have previously been accepted to the nursing program all had a 3.7 gpa or higher, all worked as CNAs for 6 months or longer, and well I just don't have those opportunities. I'm a mother of a toddler and while in usually great in school as I mentioned early I'm struggling in biology holding a c+ currently with finals 2 weeks away. I have my phlebotomy license but haven't really used it and I have worked as a CNA in the past but need to renew my license. I'm wondering if all this work is worth it or if I should find a different major. I've always wanted to be a nurse I can't imagine wanting to do anything else. Please help.
