Where to transfer for nursing school?

Nursing Students Pre-Nursing

Published

I'm currently a pre-nursing student at Kennesaw State University, but I am looking to transfer for nursing school due to a less-than-stellar GPA.

I have looked as far as Texas, Ohio, and West Virginia at public and private nursing schools (4-year BSN programs) that accept 3.0-3.5 GPA's and 80-89 on TEAS.

Where I'm from is flooded with new nursing grads, and I desire to work in a rural area as a nurse.

What are some universities/areas I should look into for nursing school and eventually, my nursing career?

Thanks in advance- I'm new here but have enjoyed browsing through the forums so far. :)

Hello!

My name is Courtney and I'm currently an ICU nurse. I've worked as a nurse for about four years and love it, so good choice with nursing!

Good luck with your search!

Texas schools are extremely competitive due to the enormous number of applicants. Have you taken a look at New Mexico. Last year I was very surprised to see that UNM was actually having to advertise their nursing program to attract applicants.

Good luck.

I wouldn't count on WVU . I transferred there for the nursing program & you pretty much have to have a 3.7 & above . The site says 3.0 but that's a complete lie , they won't even let you declare as pre-nursing with that which I sadly learned AFTER I enrolled because of being mislead
