First of all I'm considering working towards a practical nursing program, not a bsn. I'm in grade 11 and have been considering nursing as a career for a while now. I've always wanted to work with people, and I want a job where I'm doing something positive (even if most days it doesn't feel that way). I'm not grossed out by blood at all.. more so excited by it. It isn't easy to gross me out. In that sense, I feel like this could be the right path for me... However, this year I'm taking 3U classes and I have about a 75% average. Obviously not good enough. I don't think I could bump it up to any higher than 80% so I'm definitely dropping down to 4C classes next year. I do fine in math and english. Biology is challenging for me but I actually enjoy what we learn. Chemistry is what gets me. So my questions are, how much chemistry is involved in an RPN program? And if I were to drop down to C classes later on and get an average between 80 and 85%, would I have a good chance of getting into any programs? And basically am I wasting my time considering this or not? Sorry for being long and rambly!
