central practical nursing-admissoins?

Unfortunately this school won't give you specific admissions criterion until after you pay to take the entrance exam and apply formally. This way they can get 100 bucks out of the lay public even if they are not competitive. I have heard great things about the school on this board, but man is that a shady business practice.

Anyway, if you have any insight into the admissions standards I would greatly appreciate hearing about it! It mentioned cpr certification briefly on their website-is that something I should have before applying? What about GPA? Mine stinks; it's like a 2.4 in college.

Thanks so much in advance! I look forward to hearing from you.

Anybody taking the entrance exam?

There is nothing shady about CSPN... The admission criteria is right on the website. You have to have a diploma or GED, be at least 18 and take and pass the admission test (the NET). The fee for the test is only $40... not $100. Once you have passed the test you will attend an information session. There you will get all the info that you need to apply. To be considered, you must submit transcripts from any high schools and colleges that you have attended, two references, a short biography. Once you are accepted you can then get your CPR cert. (I recommend American Heart Association). Best of luck to you! It really is a great school.
