Well my school in well known for filling our curriculum with fluff and I figured I might as well make the best of it.

I figured workplaces wouldn't mind much but what about grad schools? I would think that the way this economy is as long as you got the cash they will take you.

That's what I've seen in developmental psych and general psych that it is related closely to nursing and holistic view we have. It couldn't possibly hurt and since I enjoy psych I would call it "easier"

Thanks for the kind thoughts, I just got a little discouraged when I was adding it up.. but I guess I can make something great out of something bad.

My question is that I will graduate in spring 2016 with my BSN. I started college in fall 2011 and this basically means it will take me 5 years to do a 4 year degree.. although I've read that it takes most people 5 years for a bachelors these days; so if I do a minor in psychology, will that make it look less bad? I want to point out that I'm not minoring in psychology just because I actually really enjoy it but nursing has called me into the profession. How will this look to FNP programs down the road and how will this look over all after graduation assuming all goes good once I'm in nursing school. I also want to point out that I just turned 19

Lol I AM retaking it but my appeal was made to retake it and not have to stop nursing classes which personally I don't think is work for the school so I am going to have to pause nursing school till I make it up.

It just makes me mad that I made an "A-" in micro and "B" in anatomy 1.. ugh I guess I'll take this semester and focus on everything I need to graduate and pick up where I left off soon enough.

Thanks for the thoughts and I have never been the one to argue at all, really. It just sucks working so hard and getting pulled in so many directions; between both of them, working, and school I feel like life is crushing me. But I know that if I have to wait for nursing school I will only be a semester behind and technically I was bumped up a grade in elementary school so I guess it evens out lol

So long story short last semester (fall 2012) I underwent some very traumatic experiences with my grandfather while in nursing school. He was diagnosed with COPD, rheumatoid arthritis, and his dypsnea is so bad he can barely make it to the bathroom without falling over or passing out. Because I have a CNA certification from high school, I moved into grandparents house to devote my time to them. I passed all my nursing classes with "B's" but made a "C-" in anatomy and phisiology 2. You have to pass with a "C" in this program so I basically can't continue nursing school until the following spring semester. I was destraught because of this and went to the professor and spilled this story to him and of course he didn't do anything (he is known at this school for failing the nursing students to make himself feel better because he couldn't cut medical school). Since then I have summited an appeal to the SON but I haven't heard anything and my advisor says not to change my schedule until they hear something from the committee reviewing my case. In the meantime what do you guys recommend and I would greatly appriciate any positive advice for me.

I did it as well my first semeater, had a "B+" in micro and a "B" in AP1. I just made a "C-" in AP2 though and I currently have a appeal in because my grandfather was diagnosed with COPD and I helped him so hopefully I can continue in nursing school while retaking AP2. Prayers for me please
