Hello,

I am a second semester sophomore. Today i received my THIRD rejection letter from my schools nursing school. The first two were from the ASN program and todays was from the BSN. I have completed every prerequisite available (some twice) or am currently in them. For example i am in Anatomy for the fourth time right now because I cannot seem to pass it. I study very hard for all my classes but am also having to work full time at another job to support myself. im running out of options and patience. So, should i start considering other majors? Even though theres literally no other career that I want to be in. I can only be rejected so many times. Or should I keep persevering on and just keep applying?

I may be the odd person out here but I don't recommend applying to an LVN program just because you have repeated A&P 4 times & haven't passed it. LVN programs are not any easier than RN programs. You have a lot of material to learn in a short period of time.

I would first figure out why you keep failing classes & then go from there. But no nursing program is going to be easy.

OP what is your GPA and grades in each pre-req? More often than not pre-req grades are indicative of how well you will do in the future. Anatomy & Physiology is base knowledge that you will need to progress into nursing school, without understanding the human body being not even a great nurse but a competent one will be extremely difficult. I would suggest looking into why you aren't succeeding in those classes. Its not about passing, its about getting the best grade you can while understanding the information.
