I have a totally screwed up situation here. I just finished my first semester of a BSN program. Thinking of going back seriously brings me to tears. Like literally! I hate "nursing diagnosis" such as "knowledge deficit" or "risk of falls"! It makes me want to puke. So anyhow, my question is what is worse? Is it worse to look like a quitter and leave the BSN program or worse to look like I actually wanted to be a nurse and stay in for two more god awful years? I realize I am answering my own question with my obvious distaste for what I'm currently doing, but it's not that simple. I have two kids and wonder about how I'd pay the bills with a chem degree (my absolute passion) if I don't get in to med school.
Some back ground. I haven't had anything lower than an A in the past 2.5 full time years (including summers), except for my soul crushing A- that I got this past semester. I unfortunately have 3 fat Fs that I received from a JC when I was 17 and didn't realize that I needed to drop classes if I didn't go any longer. These totally ruin my GPA and injure my science GPA. I have only about a 3.4 because of these Fs (which werent even in transferable classes but I hear they count anyway??) and a 3.6 for BCMP (all As with one stupid F). I'd have an overall 3.68 without the Fs. Alas...
I'd love some insight. I'm thinking about sticking it out through second semester to see if my feelings change about nursing, but I think that's some major fooling myself going on there! I also don't want these subjective nursing tests to screw up my GPA anymore. I honestly thought there was going to be WAY more science and a lot less garbage....
Last question: How much human touch goes into reviewing applications? Will it be obvious that my grades totally rock ever since I went back to college as an adult? Will they see the low overall and not look any closer?
Danke!
