Hello!

I have a few concerns with Starting School all over! I will be relocating to Charlotte,North Carolina.My mother relocated and my entire family has moved because of her promotion! I want to start working on my BSN! I have some concerns of my previous college experience, I don't want to use the grades and its been a long time. Should I put my transcript from other college that I attended. I want to be able to get into a school and I am afraid of being judged when I was not taking school seriously. Also Any suggestion on the best paths to take to get my BSN in Charlotte.

Most schools require ALL transcripts to be submitted- and failure to do so would be considered academic fraud. Why not get started at a community college, work uber hard and get superior grades and then see where that takes you? Proven recent success trumps bad grades early on- they prove you've changed and are a good student now.

Thank you! I guess I am just really worried about getting accepted anywhere but, I should get accepted no problem in community college! Thank you for the advice. I can work towards my bsn that way!

thank you for responding! I had not thought like that, I could start my bsn at a commuinty college and grow from there. I just have been so worried about the past.
