What should I Do?

Published

Hello,

I need your input. I am not working at the present time and what I need to know is if I should go for LPN and then get my BSN, or go for my ASN to BSN. The problem I had is with chemistry I struggled through it and I had to end up withdrawing from it. I want to get back into the work force, but I want to make the right educational move. Chemistry is so foreign to me. I have been out of school for so long and returning to the classroom was a little overwhelming for me. I thought that maybe I would do LPN and then go for BSN. I really need to do the chemistry ,but if I can't that means I won't be able to do a RN program. I really, really, really want to be a nurse this is where my passion is. I have had previous experience as a nurses aid before I got laid off. I feel that I am ready to move to the next level. I have talked to other people about my problem with chemistry and they have said why don't I go to school for something else because nursing school is very competitive. I am fully aware that nursing school is hard to get into and that I need at least a B in Chemistry. I am what you would call a "non-traditional" student. I have taken Human Biology for which I received a B plus. I am a B, C student. I have taken all of my non-science courses for which I received a B. I just need to take the Chemistry, A&P 11 and Microbiology. I just want to know what I can do to concur the problem with Chemistry and bring my GPA back up? I am sorry that my post is so long. I look forward to hearing your thoughts. I hope that you have a nice day.

There's nothing wrong going for LPN. My fiancé is doing that. Exhausted her aid for school's trying to find her niche. Excelled with her nursing prerequisites and struggled with the TEAS. Wait listed and financially strapped went the LPN route.

Also have friends who are LPNs. Some are in the midst of taking RN classes online. Others at the local CC with advanced standing. One is trying to go for an entry level MSN program.

Again though school's do offer free tutoring sessions and study groups for classes.

Best of luck.
