If they allow you to, I would retake whichever classes you got less than a B in. You need to raise your GPA. A select number of schools may accept it at a 3. Mar 9, I would look at the schools you are looking to apply too. What do they want? My school wanted a 2.? It was a lottery and my past bad grades didn't matter over 10 years old but I had all As on the required sciences. So on my application to nursing school they saw nothing but As even though my overall GPA wasn't great. I don't think there is any way to really answer your question with out knowing what your school requires.
I would look into that and come up with a plan to make yourself competitive. Our acceptance was based on a GPA of 2.
Anyone with a GPA less than 2. Specializes in Pediatrics, Rehab, Trauma. Has 10 years experience. I would research what are the requirements are for each school, and what are the required courses, as well as a entrance exam. Your science grades should at least have a GPA of a 3. I challenged my science courses, and had a 3. It took me 12 years to get my BSN. I failed NS at I had test anxiety. I started over, went to PN school, worked, then went back to an accelerated BSN program, and graduated.
Passed the boards, and I am working as a pediatric critical care nurse. I am Remember it is all possible! Life is a ride full of lessons learned.
Use your setbacks as strengths to meet your goals. You are still young, yet you have a plan now. Focus on your goals, find out what you need to do, continue to meet your goals, and everything will fall into place. Find a program that's not competitive. There have got to be others.
The programs in Cali are so saturated, we get lots of transfers from there for our programs. Specializes in Nursing Assistant. Has 4 years experience. Mar 14, Specializes in Neonatal Nurse Practitioner. Has 7 years experience. Mar 15, If you got less than a 3. You will need a lot of the knowledge in nursing school, and would be good to continue to develop and find study techniques that work for you with challenging material before you start in a nursing program.
Especially if you want to go on to advanced practice, you need a good foundation and can't let excitement and impatience get in the way of really learning what you are in school for. Don't give up your dream, but you might need to relax on your timeline. You should definitely volunteer in the type of healthcare setting you want to work in as well.
Like the others said, it really depends on the schools in your area on if that would be enough. Is it possible to go to a school with a 2. What do you suggest to help bring up my GPA as she was no help in that area?
Thank you very much. Great question! Personally, I think your advisor may need to take a class on encouragement lol. If I were you I would look up nursing schools you want to apply for and see what their GPA requirements are. Most nursing programs have websites with that information.
In order to bring up your GPA, you can take some extra elective courses in the summer or retake the courses you have a C or less in. Retaking the course is usually the best way to bring up your GPA…people do it all the time. It will take more time for you and some extra money but you will be able to bring up you GPA and increase your chances of going to nursing school.
Good luck and best wishes to you!
