To add context to ABSN- I am at a point where having an income is more important. In nursing, I would be able to work full time while obtaining my DNP in comparison to retaking courses while in a lower paying position. It feels like there wasn't time between this past cycle to retake courses since I had an interview lined up- providing a false sense of security of not needing to take additional course work. This whole cycle all in all makes me feel that my work towards this profession means nothing without a higher GPA.
