Don't even know where to start

@g8rmomk8ans Believe me, I understand your frustration with a kid that refuses to do their best. My S17 missed out on being recruited for D1 football because of his grades. He had a 1.7 in core academic courses. He also has LDs, although he wasn’t tested until senior year of high school. My D22 really wants to be a nurse and is loving her Vo-Tech nursing (assistant) program, but is very hit or miss when it comes to motivation for academics. I’ve told her that what she does now will definitely affect her choices in the future but I don’t think she cares nearly as much as I do. I do think it’s hard for some teenagers to see past the present and plan for the future. Even my college-age students don’t think ahead as much as I think they should.

Another option, especially if finances aren’t an issue for you, is an ABSN program after finishing a bachelor’s degree in a non-nursing major (easiest with a science major).
