Do nursing programs consider ALL GPA's that you have?

Hi everyone!

I need some advise, if anyone can help! I've decided to apply for an ABSN program for fall 2020. However, I have an associates degree where my overall GPA was a 3.7, and when I received my BS degree, my overall GPA was a 3.1, so will they factor both of those GPA's when making their acceptance decision? Or, will they only use the BS degree GPA?

Also, my biggest worry right now is that I received a C+ in Micro & in Chem; however, I received an A- in A&P l & Psych. Although I received those 2 C's my GPA is still over a 3.0 due to my other grades. I am taking A&P ll this semester, where I am going to work my butt off to get an A to keep my GPA over a 3.0.

Do you guys think I will have a shot at getting into the program although I have those 2 c's? I'm scared because I really want this, but I was rejected from an ADN nursing program about a month ago. I just hope they give me a shot!

I'm also going to apply for their regular nursing program also, although it takes 3yrs to complete for transfer students.

    I searched for many nursing schools. What I have noticed is that it depends, but they do care about A&P, microbiology, and math. In nursing schools I was interested in, retaking A&P for more than 2x and/or not earning a B< grade is default ineligibility to apply in their nursing program then a student can wait for 5 to 7 years to start over in A&P.

    Check the schools' requirements you're interested in, and how they choose their students. You should also see or email the nursing program advisors.
