I am hoping to attend the ECU school of nursing in January. I am just wondering if there is anyone on here who has attended ECU SON? If so how competitive was the application process and what was your nursing school experience like? Thanks!

HA! I tried to get into ECU...did the typical ECU deal and partied too much my earlier years (also quit going to classes when I got married...learned my lesson there). My GPA was too low to get into nursing school. I know people who are trying to get in now who have a 3.3 and are on the waiting list. I am now at the community college (Pitt CC) and love it. The class is smaller, and we're a close group. It's very challenging, but worth it. Plus, it's less expensive and there's always parking! -A

Well I went to ECU for a couple of years, but left when my father became ill. However nursing wasn't my first major. Since I have decided on nursing I have to take all the prereq's A&P, chem, microbiology, etc. Hopefully when I get those finished I will have at least a 3.0. Maybe the people you know were wait listed because of space?? I know you have to have a 3.0 to be competitive! Did they say what there reasons were?? ECU SON doesn't seem that hard to get into. Maybe it's a lot harder than I thinke

ALL of the nursing schools in the area are hard to get into.
