worried..

I'm currently junior who decided to change my major from engineering to pre-nursing; My g.p.a was 2.7 before changing my major to pre-nursing, but I manage to raise it to 2.95 after taking not so hard pre-req nursing classes and electives (statistics, intro to child development, sociology, etc..sorry if I offended others by saying not so easy). Anyways my obstacle came when I started taking the science courses(intro bio,micro, nutrition,and genetics). So far this is my science grades:

intro bio: dropped, re-took and got C

micro: dropped, Plannig to retake it next semester.

nutrition: got 'D,' planning to retake it next semester

chemistry: need to take lab but got B for the lecture.

genetics: dropped.

anatomy&physiology: taking next semester

What should I do? From what I hear, science is a major contributor getting into upper division of nursing/entry to nursing school.... Should I just give up persuing career in nursing? Will I be able to get into nursing school? currently my g.p.a is around 2.9... I managed to make-up dedcution by taking unnecessary electives...

I want honest and helpful opinions from you guys....should I continue? or is this waste of time and money?

-thank you in advance.

-sorry if there were grammatical/spelling errors.

    I wouldn't give up on your dream, Im not in nursing school yet but from what I hear it takes a lot of hard work and dedication. I know that most university's that offer bsn as a major want at least a 3.0 in the sciences and overall as well. I think if you pull your gpa up to a least a 3.0 you should be ok. But you would have to make in the 90% on any entrance exams that might be required. Also you should watch out about dropping courses because I after so many you can't drop anymore, I think the number is 7 or maybe 5. But don't give up. Go to tutoring sessions if you have to. Good luck.

    I would say not to give up at all! BUT, stop dropping classes! lol You can only drop 6 for your entire undergrad degree. You are at 3 now. Take your classes with a tutor from the beginning. These classes can be difficult, but you have to do really well. Nursing school entry in extremely competitive. If nursing is a dream, do whatever you have to to get there or you will regret it.

    Good luck!
