I agree with you all. I never said it was a step back but the nurse counselor said it would be a step back for me. I disagreed with what she said, I think doing an LVN program is great experience. Thank you everyone for the advice.

Thats what I've been told about my odds, unfortunately too late. I was advised to not do a LPN/LVN program because it would be a step back for me but I really think it is the better route. With LVN degree at least I can work and gain experience while I wait to get into the RN program.

I have a BA in Anthropology and Spanish. After graduation I decided I wanted to be a nurse and I took a year off to take some pre-requisite classes. I applied to 7 accelerated BSN and some MSN programs and was rejected by all. - I had a very sad 2.8 undergraduate GPA - I have a 3.8 prerequisite GPA - I volunteered for a 1 year with 100 hours - I had a letter of rec from a nurse. What should I do now? I'm thinking about doing an LVN program and moving up from there. Any advice?
