Thank you for all the feedback you all have given me... It really is an eye opener to say the least on different programs.. I appreciate all of your alls input!

That's awesome!! Glad to hear from someone local... I'm at the BCTC Cooper Campus and that helps so much!

What school is that exactly?

I would say middle school... my mom is a RN and my uncle (her brother) is a general surgeon... it's just been going down the timeline haha. My mom has been the strongest woman I've known and I know she absolutely loves her career.. I've grown to want to do the same and become just like her strong willed self.

What are your alls opinions of Galen College of Nursing? It seems to be a college I can go to and more likely to get accepted but I don't know if that is a good thing or not.... I just want to make sure I'm getting the same education as anyone else would to become a great RN. Any help?

Thank you guys!

I currently am finishing my pre req's for nursing school... but my GPA is quite lower than I want and I feel like I'm running out of time to get my degree... I'm currently 20 years old and will be 21 this year.. My GPA suffered when I started college early and I went party raving (which obviously I now regret. So now I am making up all these semesters for that ONE semester I went crazy. So my question is.... Is there any schools out there that will accept an applicant into the ADN program with a GPA lower than a 3.0? Is there any other factors that they mainly look at besides the ACT or your NLN? My ACT is a 20. and I'm going to take my NLN in April or the fall. I want to be in nursing school by Spring 2014. Any suggestions or help ? I know I am bringing my GPA up slowly with side classes at the moment and pre reqs but its slower than I am wanting. Please help! Suggestions on schools are happily considered as well :)
