Re: How Many Times Did You Apply to Nursing School

I applied once and got in, it was a BSN program. I heard that less than half of the applicants were accepted at that time, though. I don't really remember my GPA.. something like a 3.7 or so for my first year of prerequisites. I also had some volunteer experience in hospitals (I think that helped).

Re: How Many Times Did You Apply to Nursing School

I applied twice. Once in the early 80's, had the GPA 3.8, but the list was so long. Didn't get in. So decided to hit LPN school. Was the best thing I ever did. I gained lots of experience and then decided to bridge in the 90's, it was so much easier. Not saying that RN school was easier, but suppose I had more confidence.

Re: How Many Times Did You Apply to Nursing School

1> How many times did you Apply to Nursing School??
*I applied once and thankfullu was accepted then.

2> Was it for an A.A, BSN, LVN/LPN?
*I'm in an AA program, although there is an option to take a test after 3rd semester to be allowed to take the NCLEX-PN, or to take a month-long course aftr your second semester to be qualified to take it.

3> What was your GPA???
My GPA was 3.3
