Anyone here have experience at going from terrible grades in another major into being accepted for a nursing program? I am a 3 year Electrical Engineering major and I hate my field, so I am looking at going into an RN program. The downside is, my grades are TERRIBLE due to the EE classes that I sucked at. Any advice on how to improve my chances at getting accepted into a program? Should I find out what the prereqs are for my school and just take them over and try to ace it or what?

I'm glad to see I'm not the only one that switched from EE. I find nursing much more active and social and I'm enjoying it a lot more than the engineering. I had a less than desirable GPA so I retook a couple courses I did poor in and took some prereqs to boost my GPA before applying.

Come to California, tons of positions over here.

I'm wrapping up my schooling and am looking to graduate in May which also means I need to start looking for somewhere to work. I'm living in the midwest right now in a smaller town but I'd like to experience a larger city for awhile before I get too tied down.

What are some good hospitals to look at in the California area. The University of California San Francisco Medical Center ranked 7th in the US News top 100 hospitals so I would think it'd be a good place to look. I've heard San Francisco and Santa Cruz are good cities to live in but any suggestions would be appreciated since I'm unfamiliar with the area.

I also have family in Pittsburgh and Florida if anyone has suggestions for either place or anywhere else in the US that stands out.
