<p>Stay positive! There is no need to use essays to explain a low gpa. Your great attitude will shine through and your teacher recommendations will reflect this as well. Be serious about your senior year and try taking another SAT or ACT. Research a variety of nursing schools and make a direct contact with the ones that appeal to you. Let them get to know you and you, them. The advice to apply early is great. It will feel great to have choices!
Best of luck.</p>
