Hi my name is Ann, I'm 22 and a pre-nursing student trying to figure out what her next move should be. Here's my background story: I attended Stevenson University for 3 years and Towson University for 1.5 years with no luck with the nursing program. Stevenson didn't accept me because my science GPA was low and Towson's Hagerstown campus actually accepted me... but I failed A&P I and couldn't take A&P II (my last prerequisites). When that happened, I took a break from school and went to CCBC to become a CNA. I still wanted to pursue nursing but I wanted some time to reflect on the mistakes I made academically. Now that I'm certified, I feel more capable to go back to school and finish my prerequisites. However, this is where my dilemma is... As much as this experience has taught me to be a better student, I don't have the opportunity to change the grades I've already earned. I've completed all of my general education and pre-nursing requirements with the exception of A&P I and A&P II. I'm retaking A&P I before I apply to CCBC's nursing program but even with an 'A' it's not enough and I know repeating more than one class doesn't look good. Even with an 'A', in A&P I, my GPA would be 3.375 in gen ed. requirements and 3.2 overall. So my questions are: What should I do? Should I just continue and hope for the best? Should I try looking at other schools (community college or 4-year)? Which campus would be best to apply, Essex or Catonsville? Any advice would be greatly appreciated! *Choosing another major is not an option. Also, sorry for the long rant.
