Hello,

My girlfriend recently decided to change careers and is trying to become a Registered Nurse. She has been looking into schools and nursing programs within New York City but is having a very difficult time. She currently has a 4 year degree in liberal arts with an overall GPA of 2.6. Most of the schools she is applying to (State and City schools) require a higher GPA in order to get into their nursing programs. She has worked professional for the last 15 years but her life experience does not seem to hold any weight in applying. Can anyone help? What other options may she have? Are there any vocational schools that she could apply to?

She is a different person and student then she was when she was first in college and it is a shame that she is having this much difficulty pursuing another career because of her grades from 15 years ago.

Any help or direction is greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Ray
