   JillM11, what is your GPA for your bachelor's degree?

2. How did/do you pay for nursing school and expenses? I need some advice.

   Try to refinance your car through your bank or someone else. At one time in my life, I had bought a car and it was originally financed through Wells Fargo, but a year later I went shopping around and my bank offered me a better deal if I refinanced t...

   Let's see if I can help: 1. sell your car, buy something cheaper. I agree with everyone else when I say you are spending way too much on a vehicle. If public transportation is a feasible option, then how bad do you want to be a nurse? Can you deal wi...

   Congrats to everyone who got in! I also got accepted. I am in the evening/weekend cohort. My bachelor's degree GPA was 3.2 (actually I graduated with a 3.4, but that's a long story), and my HESI score was 91%. If you are in the evening/weekend cohort...

   I saw a post from a girl who got accepted into TCC nursing school with a bachelor's GPA of 3.7 and a HESI score of 70%. This was a couple years ago, but she was the only one who got accepted with such a low HESI score (that posted her scores on this...

   Wishing you the best of luck! Which cohort did you apply to?

7. Is 61 too old to start Pre-Nursing?

   lady8506 replied to Kikzy's topic in Pre-Nursing

   LOVE your optimistic attitude. I am also a positive person. It really rubs me the wrong way when someone says "can't". When it comes to pursuing a dream or a goal, that word isn't even in my vocabulary. Can, cAN, CAN, CAAAAAAAANNN!!

   lady8506 replied to Kikzy's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Go for it. My motto is always that this is the only life you've got. If you think nursing is your calling, or that it's going to make you happy to do it, then don't listen to the nay-sayers, just DO IT! I am 38 with a bachelor's in biology. I would ...

   I only checked the weekend/evening cohort. I'm a single mom and already have a full time job, so I can't do weekdays.

    If you check previous threads, you will notice that anyone who posted what their high school GPA was and their HESI score and got accepted, did it with a 3.5+ high school GPA, and a HESI exam score in the 80s or higher.

    Ah, here I am, finally. Took my HESI today. Have a 3.2 college GPA (technically, I graduated with a 3.4, but took some classes after that I hated, so I bombed a couple, lowered my score). Scored a 91% on the HESI. Was really surprised we weren't allo...
