When I was young, I screwed up in my community college and got multiple Ws and 1 Fail. My gpa was of 1.00 sad to admit. I had a wake up call and decided to attend a profit private college and got my bachelors degree in computer science with a 3.2 gpa. Got a great job with great pay, but after 10 yeas I want to change my career to nursing. I would love to be an RN and don't want to attend a private college anymore.. too much money. I want to do things right and go to a community college so I can be full accredited BUT, wouldn't my gpa from 12 years ago affect me(1.00gpa)? I am attending the same college district and my gpa still shows.. which means I would have to attend school longer like 3 years for prereqs and make ups.. so I am risking time and I can possibly not get in to the RN program at a community college. If I do get in it may take me up tp 5 years just to get in to RN program. My computer science degree is looking pretty good instead of starting over again! Should I even risk my self, when I heard that some RN programs only take 1 W and 1 D and No fails... if you know about some or your RN program do you think they would give me a chance?? How would they feel about my 1.00 gpa and even if i make the classes up with a better grade, wouldn't it still affect my admission to a nursing program??Please serious answers only.. thank you!
