Should I get an ADN with my current situation

Last year I made a very hard choice of leaving my engineering major. A combination of bad grades and personal crisis forced me to do it.

After looking at my options and my character I found that Nursing or EMT work would be a great fit for me. I'm compassionate, a force of calm in a crisis, and I have already experienced saving someones life I think in have the right stuff to make this work.

But I have a couple of problems. One I have a terrible GPA 2.51 from the two bad semesters that forced me to switch majors. Two even if I bust my butt for the next two year bringing my GPA up to a competitive level I don't know if I could get into a BSN school.

What are some good options for me? I know its gonna be a long and difficult road for me but I wont give up.

If your were an ADN whats the road look like if down it you choose to get a BSN?

    I'm actually looking into BSN programs right now bc I will graduate with my ADN in May. Word of advice, look at different BSN programs required prerequisites and get them done while doing the ones for your ADN program. I didn't and now I'm going to have 2 years of additional prerequisites and 2 years of a BSN program (of course that's at part time) I have just made a post about it on here last night. Let me see if I can send the link

    Thats good! I'm seriously regretting not doing all of my "homework" before starting. Now I'm going to pay the price by being in school longer. Bridging from ADN to BSN is cheaper in the long run and probably better in your situation but get them Gen Ed classes out of the way. Check several BSN programs and see if what they require is pretty close, to give yourself the best possible picture
