Is it even possible?

Nursing Students Post Graduate

Published

I was in the ADN program for a year, failed out(by one point:err), and went into the LPN program. I graduated in Dec. and now I currently back in the ADN program and I only have one more year until I graduate! Yay! Anyways, what I was wondering is is there any possible way I could get accepted into a university for ADN to MSN? My GPA is only 2.8 and my transcripts would show that I have failed out of nursing school before. I have always wanted to further my education after my RN, but is it even possible now? Advice or expirences anyone?

I think a lot would depend on how well you do in your final courses. Continued academic improvement should work in your favor.

I have made A's in my last 2 quarters, hopefully that will continue.:)

I nearly failed out of the ADN program, but ended up passing with a GPA of 3.0 (11 years ago). Because I wanted to pursue my masters/adult NP, and most programs require a GPA of at least 3.2, I decided to get my BSN separate and really focus on maintaining GPA of 4.0 which brought my cumulative GPA up high enough to get accepted to a NP program. That is an idea in case you have issues getting into an ADN-MSN program. I think it will depend on what program you are looking at. If you are interested in an NP program, it may be challenging since its a tight market in view of the changes coming up in 2015 (DNP requirement).

Do you know if you start a MSN FNP or post MSN certificate by 2015 are you grandfathered in?
