Hey everyone! I've started my journey making a list of Accelerated Nursing Programs to apply to for next year. However, my undergraduate GPA is only a 2.8. So far I have not found many schools which will accept those with low GPAs especially in the North East. I'm currently in New York. 1) I was wondering if I should apply to get my associates degree in nursing instead of applying to the accelerated nursing programs? Will I have a better chance to get into an associates program? 2) Also is the salary difference between an Associates in Nursing different from a BSN? Or From the research I've done, it looks relatively the same. Thanks for your help in advance!
