Yeah, I mean I could retake them at the community college that I have applied to the nursing program for, but I also wonder if they give any sort of lee-way given that I obtained C's in my pre-req's at a rigorous 4-year liberal arts school. What do you think? Otherwise I suppose I could take a semester to retake some of those pre-req's and boost my GPA, as I'm assuming they will be easier at a community college as compared to the liberal arts school.

Hey guys, thank for checking this out! I'm 21, just dropped out of my last school after two years because I realized nursing is my true passion having loved working as a CNA for a year and a half and being jealous of the RNs and looking up to them tremendously. I live in MN and have applied to a few ADN programs around my area. My GPA is 2.5 (low), but I have many pre-req's (A&P, psych, english) completed with C or above which gives me a good base to build off of. I believe I'm very smart, but slacked in college and had family issues that truly distracted and significantly affected my grades. Being as I'm this young but have a low GPA, would I be best off simply going for my LPN and working for a bit then bridging to ADN or BSN? Or go straight for ADN? Let me know what you think and I appreciate your insight!
