Fall 2017 Motlow Nursing Program

Hospcorp : the selection process is different from that of the generic students. The bridge points are just HESI and GPA combined out of 800 total points.

Jeffrosaysso1, LPN: I chose the smyrna campus. What about you?

Has anyone (lpn's) recieved a letter ?

I'm as anxious as anyone, but there's still a whole month to go until the deadline for applicants to finish up their prerequisite classes.

If I can maintain my 4.0 GPA until then, I should have 782 points for my bridge program application... fingers crossed! :nailbiting:

Here's an excerpt from Motlow's website for the Nursing A.A.S. One-Year Application Checklist:

Have a cumulative grade point average of 2.75 at the end of 2016 fall semester.
Complete all pre-requisite courses (ENGL 1010, PSYC 1030, BIOL 2010 and 2020, and BIOL 2130) by the end of the 2017 spring semester.

If that means my GPA from last semester is all that will be taken into consideration, the next five weeks will be a lot less stressful!

Raindog. I think that means you just have to have the pre reqs done by spring of 2017. The GPA will be taken from the fall before.

Got this from the site as well.

Have a 2.75 college grade point average or greater on a 4.0 scale. Grade point average is calculated using only the required courses for the Nursing Program completed at the end of the fall semester prior to admission to the Nursing Program.

I never caught that bit of information before, but the equivalent requirement for the one-year program is similarly worded.

Have a cumulative collegiate grade point average no less than 2.75. The grade point average used to calculate admission is the GPA at the end of the fall semester prior to admission and does not include learning support courses

Thank you for setting me straight... that means my 782 point score is secure even if my GPA slips a little over the next few weeks! :woot:

I'm just finishing up A&P II and Microbiology, which are my only remaining prerequisite classes... not that I'm gonna become a slacker now, but it's a huge relief to know that I only have to finish them with a C average.

It's also nice to know that I shouldn't have to wait until the end of the semester to find out if I'm one of the lucky 20... getting really anxious now!

Omg . Do the traditional two year rn program students have to have their prerequisites done by the end of spring ? Mine will be done by the end of the summer

I called today and asked about a timeframe for acceptance letters. I was told not to expect any information on acceptance for another 2-3 weeks. Sooooo now we wait I guess.
