Definitely forgot! Thank you for reminding me

So, I just got accepted as a transfer, Pre-Nursing student into University of Alaska Anchorage's BSN program. I was really curious to know if anyone has heard about this program or if anyone has personally attended it and what they could tell me about it? I've researched a lot online, but haven't been able to find much information. If anyone could throw some information my way about how campus life is, if the program is manageable? I would greatly appreciate it. I'm debating whether it's worth moving across the country for, or I should just wait for someplace locally to accept me (Hopefully) Keep in mind, some BSN programs here in Philly are just as expensive here as it is me moving over there. Thank you everyone to responds!

I appreciate your reply! Sorry about getting back so late. I'm just finishing my last semester at Community College and still haven't found a program :/ More so because I'm nervous to apply. I have been able to pull up my GPA to be 3.17 and I still have this semester to finish up. I'm applying within the next 2 weeks to a few different universities, most local and 2 in different states. Going to see how things go. Wish me luck!

So I have been interested in Nursing for quite some time now! Hoping to get my BSN some day and work as an RN wherever I'm able to get in to and be a great amount of help! Ever since my Junior year in high school I have thought about a career in Nursing. I'll be honest, I wasn't the best student in high school. Barely maintained a 2.2 GPA, always goofed off. Never bad, just lazy. Come college, I started the same. I started at Community College of Philadelphia in Fall 2013. Had a rough first year and a half, did the same thing. Just goofed off, figured I could get by like I did in high school. After long talks with professors, counselors and parents, I finally started taking school more serious. I am now finishing up my Associates degree (Last class Nutrition and Pre- Calc, starting Fall 2016) and looking to transfer in to a Nursing program. My problem is now I just don't know where to. I've looked into so many programs seeing if they accepted transfer students, but I'm honestly scared to even apply. I'm afraid to get rejected because of my history in the beginning. I've passed A&P 1 with a C at first, then retook and got a B. Same thing with A&P 2. Recieved a C (Five points away from a B) now retaking for hopefully a much better grade. Finished Microbiology with a B, and Chemistry took it the first time, dropped it. Retook it, recieved a C. Thinking about taking it one last time to get a much better grade. As of right now, Summer 2016, I have a 3.01 GPA with 61 credits. I've been thinking about my mistakes everyday and I'm just scared that my dumb choices when I was younger are going to keep me from getting accepted into any transfer Nursing programs. I've truly changed though! I'm not that dumb kid, I actually take my school work serious. It's the only thing I worry about anymore! Anyone out there have any advice on what I should do, if I can even do anything at this point? Please let me know, I would truly appreciate it. Thank you to whoever responds :)
