Typical GPA's that were accepted RPN to RN


Hello Everyone,

I know this might be a bit personal but I am really curious of how high my GPA should be to get into a bridging program. None of the schools will give me their "real" cutoffs.The give you minimums, but I doubt that is what they are accepting right? So I was wondering if anyone had personal experience with this. Right now I am enrolled in my 3rd semester at Fleming College and I have a 3.66 GPA.

I really want to bridge to RN(lot of options from there) and also I had questions to those that went direct from college to bridge course that same year? I know you would not have the experience of a lot of your classmates but it isn't impossible right? Or should I wait a year after finishing RPN and then apply?

I know similar topics keep coming up and I didn't want to cause redundancy but I didn't see any actual figures of GPA's so thank you to all that reply/ read!

Shannon

I think that minimum averages may change from year to year depending on demand and the grades of those that apply for the program.

Another thing to consider is that you must have your RPN licence to apply, so go and pass the CNO exam first, then worry about applying for the bridge program.
