Hello everyone :-),
I am new and struggling. I received my BA at UCSD in 2014 with megh grades due to chronic health issues. Postbac I have been taking all the nursing prereqs. I just finished last year. I got admitted into Roseman's ABSN program for this July's cohort but am highly concerned about taking out so many private loans (and having to pay them back while attending)when I know I need an MSN to obtain my dream goal of becoming an endocrine/internist nurse practitioner. Sd city college really screwed me over as they never received my paper application apparently and will not even consider me for this year despite having evidence of my scanned paper app I sent in Oct of 2017. I applied to CSUSM's temecula ABSN program for this summer but they almost screwed me over as their system failed to register I turned in all transcripts when I did so I should be hearing back from them soon but they are delayed (If I never contacted them last week, I would have been screwed). I calculated my points to 27 under CSUSM's guidelines and fear I may not gain admission. Also waiting to hear back from WGU's online program. I wish I applied to SDSU and other CCs!!
I may have to go to Utah to make any progress on my goals this year but fear the amount of debt looming over me by the end of all of this will not be equivalent to even one year's pay as an NP
Azusa ELMSN and Samuel Merritt ELMSN rejected me.
could really use some advice and well wishes!!! I would love to stay in CA and go to CSUSM!! Please cross fingers for me and let me know what you think. Appreciate all of you and good luck on your nursing goals as well!
thank you!!!
edit: 86.7% on TEAS/ 89% on HESI
pre nursing core from community colleges inc chem, bio, nutrition =3.5 (every program calculates differently)
UCSD gpa (I transferred in with better grades than received at UCSD due to fighting PCOS and Cushings while enrolled) =2.84
