Hello!
Five years ago, during my undergrad, I was academically disqualified from my university's nursing program. It was my first and only semester. I continued my studies and received a health administration degree, but I still want to provide patient care. My overall GPA is a 3.1 and my science is a 3.7 (bio 1, physics 1, a&p 1/2, micro). My overall dropped from a 3.5 to a 3.1 (4 Ds) after that semester. Even with majority A's, it would NOT move as I worked towards my degree.
I still have a couple of science pre reqs to take, but I am wondering if I stand a chance with that nursing semester on my transcript. Would it be better if I got a masters in a related science? Or could I possibly obtain a high score on the GRE, high science GPA, and log some good shadowing hours to forecast that semester?
Also do schools frown upon taking classes at a CC? I don't want to pay double for the couple of courses that I have left, but I know schools do with certain majors.
Any advice is welcomed! Please share if you have been in a similar situation!!
