What should I Do?

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.
