2. Applying to community college nursing programs...gpa?

   Jfarmboy replied to BJR87's topic in Pre-Nursing

   It should be. I have a HS GPA of 3.3. When I went to apply for my pre-reqs they said it was more than enough. Around here they usually require a GPA of 2.8 to get in and take courses, but then they say you can't get less than a B-. There is a minimum...

3. Can stupid people pass nursing school?

   Jfarmboy replied to countrygirl1234's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I would add that some of my friends I see to be very smart people. A few times when they were busy with life or did not make good goals and study time they got B's and C's in some subjects. They got straight A's in other subjects. One is going to bec...

   Jfarmboy replied to countrygirl1234's topic in Pre-Nursing

   You are only as "stupid" as you say you are. By you saying the word stupid you what you are really meaning is not smart. Someone who is truly "stupid" is someone who can't do simple math problems such as 2x8,imo. You are smart enough, if you would ad...

   Jfarmboy replied to Jfarmboy's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Going for CNA is not a requirement anywhere in NY state as far as I know. I am just doing it because I seem to learn most from hands on. I could apply to this years nursing program if I was ready, but I am not. There are 2 prereqs I didn't take. So e...

13. Male going into CNA-Legal issues?

    Jfarmboy replied to Jfarmboy's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Okay thanks for the info. I can understand being hawk eyed in CNA clinicals or RN clinicals. I get nervous with people watching my every move. In school it would be okay, but if I had to be supervised on the job it makes no sense. I am definitely goi...
