so I've been looking to make a career change, i am looking to retire after 20+ years in emergency services. I previously attended this school in the early 90's and while i was not a great student, i wasn't horrible either. pretty much b's across the boards.hen i lucked out and got my dream job while taking 4 classes. long story short, after a bit into the semester and doing fairly well, i took a major injury falling off a roof. now after pleading my brains out to withdraw, it was too late and my grades would have to stand as-is. needless to say i ended up with 4 f's. now to present, I've been slowly taking classes over the past 2 years at a closer school. these are 3 a 1 b, and I'm halfway through ap1 now still holding 100%. i didn't realize my grades transfer as just a pass fail, and I'm afraid they wont see 20 years of improved attitude about my education etc. has anyone heard of a school looking at a difference in grades over years, or at the grade a transferred class had etc? i took the nln exam and scored 145. from what I've read thats decent, but compared to the rest of the prospective students with a better gpa, im unsure how it will pan out. I apologize for the long ramble, this wait to see if i was accepted is beyond frustrating and writing things down helps relieve the stress a bit. thank you all for listening and i hope to be able to answer whether i got in or not sometime before i stroke out [emoji3]. apologies for punctuation etc, im old (44) and these damn buttons on the phone are tiny.

just an aside, the f's were not in pre requisite courses, they were for a non health related degree
