pdiconsults, yes, after research I was interested in NP. I have absolutely no problem in being a RN. I would love to be a RN. I am just concerned on how to even get into a nursing program. I realized I wanted to go into nursing the summer before my senior year of college. By that time, it was sort of to late and a waste of money that I didn't have at the time to back track to go to a school to take classes that weren't offered it my school just to get try to get into a program so I decided to finish the degree I started. I have worked for a year and saved up enough money and got everything together and ready to start. I am just stuck on how to get there. I am reading and researching but everyone situation is different. That's why I want to ask questions relating to me on what's the best thing to do. So in order to boost my gpa.. I redo the pre-reqs, then take any other pre-reqs and do well on those. Since I do have very little to none health care experience should I also enroll in a CNA program to get experience ; as well as boost my gpa from that program? Thanks for your answers! I really appreciate your taking time in reading and responding. Every piece of info is helping me out a great deal.

Thanks for your reply! So I see programs for the last 60 hours of college coursework require a 3.0 and a C or higher for everything else. 60 hours would take about 2 years to make up. What I would take from this is to just make up the pre-reqs. Which makes more sense. Thanks a again. This gives me more clarity.

Hello all! I really would like some advice on joining the nursing field leading to a NP. First of all, I have a Bachelor's of science in Biology. My gpa is really low. Under a 2.7. I started off well in my course of study then I became really burnt out which led to me doing really bad and the last 4 classes I did really well. I am now done with school and I have no health care experience besides a little volunteering I did a couple of summers ago. Now I want to get accepted into a program; however, I do not know which route to go. Depending on which program I choose I may need A&P 2, nutrition, and statistics. So that is up to 3 classes that can possibly boost my gpa a bit if needed. I would like to pick a route that would make sense including not wasting time and saving money. My question is should I go back to school and do the ADN to BSN to MSN OR ADN to MSN OR Accelerated BSN to MSN There are also direct entry MSN programs as well; however, I don't feel as if I am competitive enough. Honestly, I would like to know what is there I can do to enter a program.
