Low GPA & Second Degree BSN?


Hello everyone,

I earned a Bio degree with a low gpa of 2.6 , about 10 yrs ago (took too many difficult courses at once, 22 credit semester course load yadda yadda)....Anyway, I'd like to apply to a Second Degree BSN program preferably in NYC. Is there anyone out there that has had any luck getting into a Second Degree BSN program in NYC or elsewhere, with my same predicament?

I'm currently completing my pre req requirements.

Any info on your personal experiences would really help.

Thanks

Default Re: Low GPA & Second Degree BSN?
Ouch, honestly nursing programs are very competitive. When I started my nursing program back in 1995 I had been a high school drop out. After a year of pre-reqs. and keeping a 4.0 I got into the nursing program.

So with a low GPA going in you may have to show that you're able to keep competitive grades, but the admissions advisor will be the best source of admission standards for actual program entry. Good luck.
