I've just recently graduated with a bachelor's degree (unrelated to nursing) that happened to complete all the science prerequisites for nursing. I also happened to take pretty much all the non-science prerequisites through my GE requirements. However, my gpa is pretty low- 2.9 overall and 2.7 looking at just pre-reqs. This mainly stems from me not applying myself- I asked my parents for a year off after high school to work/intern and figure out what I wanted with my life, but they forced me to start my degree at the same time as everyone else and I pretty much just coasted through listlessly, not particularly caring since I didn't know what I wanted out of the experience at all. So I'm 100% confident that if I retook classes now, I could get A's with more effort and maybe actually going to an office hours for the first time in my life. After interning at a hospital, I realized I loved the environment and after talking to some nurses, I realized this is a career I really want to jump into. My gpa is so low (and my interactions with professors who could vouch for me nonexistant), that I have the following thoughts: 1. Transferring into a BSN is pretty much impossible (minimum 3.0 gpa's, average 3.7 admittance abound) 2. I could conceivably "restart" my education by going to a CC, taking all the prerequisites anew and have that be my "only" gpa, without informing the CC that I have a previous bachelor's/transferrable classes. I would then finish my ADN, work for a few years on that while saving up and returning to an ADN->BSN program. Is this possible? Am I violating some sort of academic code by not disclosing my previous classes? And if I am, should I particularly care/would they have any way of knowing?
