I am a pre-nursing student attending City College of San Francisco and I recently just fulfilled my science courses to get into the RN program. Unfortunately my combined science gpa is a 2.47 and the requirement to get into most nursing schools in my area is 2.50. Do you know you or anyone you know get into a nursing program in the area with that gpa? (My overall GPA is a 2.75) :icon_roll

Hi, I'm a nurse at Kaiser Hayward. Well, I know a lot of colleges are accepting more students than they did 3 years ago. I would apply at multiple colleges instead of just one. That will increase your chances. If not, you can always repeat some of the courses and try for an A to get your GPA up.

You don't need to be an A student to be a good nurse. Unfortantely, thats how the schooling system works tho. Good luck.

Thanks for being so optimistic! I've been feeling rather stressed lately because everyone is telling me that no schools will accept me. I've always wanted to be a nurse for all the right reasons but unfortunately I'm not an A student. Again, thanks!!!
