Trying to decide on program in cleveland


I had an interview with Huron school of nursing, in Cleveland, for their evening/weekend program. The admission director told me that about 50% of those in the evening/weekend program work full time. Then I asked whether they are still getting good grades, like at least 3.0, and she flat out said NO! She said that MOST of their students are not getting 3.0's. I asked if this was true even for those that didn't work and she said most of the students at the school are getting C's. I know that they have a tough program, but the reason why I chose them is bc of the E/W program would allow me to keep my job. I want to get a Master's in Nursing (BTW, I already have a BS in Business), so grades are important to me. I asked the Admis. Direct. about grad school, and she said it is possible to get accepted with a 2.0 in your nursing classes as long as you do well in the other science classes.

I don't want to set myslf up for failure. I don't think a 2.0 is acceptable for the amount of work you have to do. Is 2.0 a normal GPA for NSG school, am I overreacting?

Does anyone know about this program or can recommend another program in the cleveland area (one where students can good grades)?

I am just finishing my first semester at Huron. For first semester, I would say most people are getting B's in Fundamentals and probably A's in Health Assessment and Pharmacology. However, I can only speak for myself and those in my clinical group, and I have heard that it only gets harder. I wold not be surprised if most people get c's though; at Huron, a C is 77-85%, a B 86-93, an A is 94-100. You have to have at least a 77 avg. on tests to move on. The school has a very high (I think I heard like 2nd in the state only to Case) NCLEX pass rate, and a good reputation in the area. I will not lie, though, it is not all rainbows and butterflies -- the organization of the program, student services in particular, leaves a lot to be desired.
