Re: Does being a guy has any affect on being accepted into your schools nursing progr
We're just an hour north of you there in Sacramento... (Chico) Our BSN admittance through Chico State is GPA driven (weighted 80% for GPA in the required Sciences, 10% overall GPA, and 10% for previous work in the medical field). The RN program at the Community College is by lottery with a 2.5 minimum GPA in all sciences.
I have an August start date, with a 4.0 in the sciences and 3.97 overall... the competition for RN schooling here has skyrocketed. 450 are currently enrolled in A&P, which will then be vying for 28 available seats in the required microbiology class. [NO regard for chromosomes, you either have the grades, or you don't]
I was extremely apprehensive about all of the memorization that is required in training... as school for me was 33 years ago... but I'm currently #3rd in our class standing. I hope that there will be at least a couple of guys that make it!
i was wandering that too. However i have only been able to atain a c avg in my A&P classes. not bad for a guy with a ged and a 8th grade educaion,but i dont think that impresses them lol. Anyway i was wandering if any guys have been accepted in the nursing program with C averages.
