I have six classes left to earn my associate of science in pre-nursing, I’ll be finished with it in the fall.
I’ve been through a lot of trauma in my personal life over the past few years since starting college, family death, victim of domestic violence, went through a school shooting my first semester of college right out of high school, etc… life just hasn’t been kind to me, I’ve attended three colleges since graduating high school.
All of this has caused me to withdraw from classes multiple times, I’ve completed 68.5 college credits but have attempted 185.5 total, so I’ve essentially withdrawn from 117 credits all of which are on my transcript as Ws, or Es.
In the courses I’ve finally completed I have all As and Bs, I also have years of healthcare experience and my CNA + Phlebotomy license.
Nursing has been all I’ve wanted to do my whole life, I’m really good in clinical settings and I’m not at all a bad student, but my GPA and transcripts are a complete mess, my advisors at one school also encouraged me to continue dropping and re enrolling in classes with no support quarter after quarter, and left me with all my science pre-reqs to take together at once, I was a young first gen college student and didn’t realize the negative impact this had as I had no idea how college really worked and no guidance etc…
It’s looking like my only options at this point are private BSN programs like WCU. I have 0 shot at getting into school at community colleges or even state schools anywhere in the US with my transcripts, I meet 0 requirements, I feel so lost.
I’m so close to being done with the pre-nursing degree but I just don’t know what the point in finishing it is, I won’t be able to afford a private program for years potentially, I’m reading through this thread and wondering how everyone is able to afford it in here. maybe I’ll end up a CNA the rest of my life which has always been my worst fear. I’m feeling super down and just need to rant really but if anyone has advice or has been in a similar situation I would love to hear. Please no judgment either, things have been really hard the past few years and it’s devastating to me that nursing might not be my career. I’m hoping there’s another option but it’s not looking like it.

It’s looking like my only options at this point are private BSN programs out of state that cost 150k give or take before financial aid. I want this so badly that I’m willing to do that, I don’t have a shot at any community colleges or state schools anywhere in the country, I don’t even think I could get into an MRI tech or LVN program at my community colleges in state.
