Baton Rouge General School of Nursing applicants 2016 class

[Nursing_lady91]

Hi everyone,

Are there any nursing applicants for the 2016 year? Also, for those who have applied and been accepted, I have a few questions about my application. I have a 2.7 GPA with the prerequisites, I know that's not good but it was from a while ago when I was at LSU and I don't have the money to read take these classes, however I made an 87.7 on the TEAS test and I currently work for the hospital as well as I have volunteered through the hospital as well. Has anyone gotten in with a low GPA before? Any feedback would be very much appreciated. THANKS

Thank you Jca2525, now it's your turn next. You still applying for 2017 class?

[Jca2525]

Yes ma'am! I am going to retake a few classes this spring at BRCC-hopefully I can turn a few B's into A's. This will also give me time to get back into the school/study mode! I have been out of school for a long time. I am so excited for you! Please keep me posted with how your first semester goes.

Hello Ladies! Just wanted to check in and see how nursing school is going so far.

[Nursing_lady91]

Hey sorry it's taking so long for me to reply. It's hard!! It takes some getting use to. My advice, get test success for nursing and fundamentals success books as well as Mosby's nursing products and get familiar with all things nursing. It is a great program and worth every penny. We are learning so much so fast. We are qbout to begin clinical so I'm excited. Are u still applying this year

[Jca2525]

I am still applying to BR General this summer. I submitted my app to brcc- so hopefully one will work out this year. Wow- can't believe you are already getting into clinicals. Thank you for the recommendations!!
