1. MEOW! Catty nursing students

   hg09 replied to OldShoesRock's topic in General Students

   I'm in an accelerated bachelors program right now and I honestly can't imagine anyone even having time to gossip, lol.

2. Confused about how to proceed

   hg09 replied to Miwila's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I will be starting an accelerated bachelor (2nd degree) program this Fall - I had to take the prerequisites during undergraduate because they weren't part of my Bachelor of Art degree (20+ credit hours a semester = ouch). I just graduated in May and ...

   If you look at some of the statistics for med school they're not even THAT strict. I've known people with a 3.0 GPA and decent MCAT scores get into an alright medical school. Guess the nurse educator shortage really shows huh?

   3.83? Geez - remind me never to attempt nursing school admission in Cali, lol.

   Man, schools in Cali are tough. I think for 2nd degree programs most of the time they're a little less harsh. Looks like this one weighs all the applicants equally even if they only completed the prereqs versus an entire degree. A 3.6 in a complete u...

6. All About the NET

   I didn't have any math word problems on the test - did anyone else?

   I've had friends that went through the same process - just relax and put some trust into the system. I'm sure you'll be fine but good luck anyways!

9. Best student selection process?

   hg09 replied to ADPIE10's topic in General Students

   I think if you have decent grades/scores and show a strong interest in nursing through a personal statement or other materials you should be given serious consideration alongside someone that makes a 4.0 and writes a crappy one-paragraph statement or...

    hg09 replied to hg09's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I have a 3.3 cumulative in about 160 credit hours - the program minimum is a 2.5 - I actually didn't study at all for the NET. I had to register at the last minute because the program popped out of nowhere, and I took the test the same morning as my ...

    Do you think a decent NET score (99th percentile, 96 composite) could help a medium to low undergraduate GPA for a ABSN program?

12. Best student selection process?

    hg09 replied to ADPIE10's topic in General Students

    The comment was retracted and foot placed in mouth. However, I should have clarified that I'm speaking exclusively about second-degree BSN programs. I guess I confused myself about what this thread really was about. I was thinking it's unrealistic fo...

14. Best student selection process?

    hg09 replied to ADPIE10's topic in General Students

    There's numerous things that could be taken into account for admission, not one single thing. I can see the other side for people that have stellar GPAs but I still think there's more to it than that.

15. Best student selection process?

    hg09 replied to ADPIE10's topic in General Students

    So why are there students failing out of programs that have chosen to accept nothing below, say, a 3.8? I'm not advocating for a wait-list method or even the "saintly" volunteering-to-apply, but I think it does help to know what you're getting into. ...
