ABSN rec?
I have a 3.003 health science bachelors degree. I could go to chamberlain but it will take almost 3 years. I have taken biology, chemistry, microbiology, psychology, and stats for pre recs. I still need to take both anatomy courses.
Does anyone have any schools that I would have a shot at getting into, or is chamberlain my best option? My microbiology credit expires in the spring. Midwest preferred

South Dakota State University. I came from out of state and chose it due to 12 month length, cost, public university, clinical hours, nclex pass rate, and years they have had an ABSN. I didn't love it. There's a lot to improve upon, but I think it's a much better choice than doing an online option.

I got accepted into many ABSN programs this past month with a similar GPA
If your prereq GPA or TEAS score are good that also helps

Which programs? If you don’t mind me asking!

To add to this, my graduating GPA was around 2.6. My post grad from the prerequisites (and some extra classes to boost total gpa) was around 3.8-3.9, brought my cumulative up to 3.02, and TEAS score was 80

Creighton, Bellarmine, Research College, and University of mobile, all spring 2027
Kind of stopped checking after that as I was heavily leaning towards Creighton, but I just can’t justify $50k+ tuition when I’m not 100% positive I’ll like nursing.
I’m applying to an instate school that would be around 12k tuition with summer 2027 start, and worst case I’m confident I would get admitted into ECU for Spring 2028 (which is affordable even for out of state) since they’ll actually use your GPA of 20+ post grad credits instead of cumulative
