Who are you and why do you need to know?

Why the "thumbs down" icon with the thread title?

Who are you and why do you need to know?

This poster asked the same question yesterday.

Specializes in Gerontology.

More letters after my name than I know what to do with.

No idea what my IQ is. Does it matter? I've seen A+ students who are smart in class but dumb in clinical. I've seen students struggle in class and thrive in clinical.

I'm wondering just what information you're looking for?

You have posts asking about anything from nursing assistant programs to nurse anesthetist. Your last 3 have been about IQ's??? I think your not asking the right questions.

You should pick a direction and pursue it. If you want to do nursing I would start with your state board to see if your criminal record will allow for licensure. Schools of nursing just provide the classes. They don't guarantee licensure. I would hate to see anyone endure the hell which is nursing school to get to the end and not be able to get a license.

I gather that you might have a B.S. in biology and are looking for a fast-track into a nursing program. Your IQ really doesn't factor into the selection process. Different programs have different requirements/criteria. Many times it's GPA alone.

You're going to have to slug it out with the colleges in your area. Many schools across the U.S. are backlogged with up to 2-year waiting lists. There isn't really any back-door to get around the fact that you just have to wait. You could enroll in an online program and give Regents a try. Understand that Regents degree will not reciprocate to all states but can get you working while you wait on a fully credentialed associate or B.S.N. program.

This is the best response I have for all of your inquiries. You're just going to be patient.

Good luck with your decision...

I'm a BSN. Not sure about IQ, but I do recall that I almost failed kindergarten years ago. Why? Because I refused to colour pears yellow ;)
