Just wondering what everyones grades were in the prereq's??? Micro, Chem, Anat, etc..........I feel like everyone getting in must be straight A students, its sooooo competitive. Of course I live in California where everything is super competitive. Just hoping to hear from some of you guys on this!

Prior degree in psychology; took the above courses at a community college while I was applying for the nursing program. Took me a year to get into the nursing program

I got As and Bs all the way, too. I did get a C in a nursing course but that's because I was working full time and messing around too much and didn't really study as much as I should have. My nursing program says it will take students with Cs, but even if they used to do this I don't believe they do it anymore. Its way too competitive. With so many A students on the waiting list I really don't think a student with Cs has much of a chance of getting in.

My grades so far are...

Chem B

Cell Biology A-

Anatomy B

Physiology A-

Micro A

English 101 A

Intro Soc A

Intro Psych A

Developmentel Psych A

Medical Terminology A

Interpersonal Communications A

I had an interview for the nursing program at my school, so right now I'm just waiting to find out if I made it in or not.

I graduated over ten years ago with a pre law degree and a GPA of 3.7. In Nutrition, Growth and Development, Pharmacology, Psychology, Algebra I made all A's. Both A & P's are accounted for the above GPA, but I made B's. I haven't taken Micro yet. From what I hear at my school it is tough and if you make a C, you are lucky. I made my first C last semester in Fundamentals. I was bumbed. My average was 85.8 and that is a C. They do not round up. That six credit hour course really affects your GPA. However C=RN.

Specializes in critical care; community health; psych.

A&P I and II, micro = A

chem = B

Now in the middle of nursing III, I'm pulling a low B.

Specializes in Cardiac Telemetry.

:o You guys are making me feel so stupid! My entire class is averaging a C, and if I had to guess, the majority of the grades from all of us throughout the program have been B/C (of course, I'm referring to the actual nursing program classes and not pre-reqs, so maybe that's why!)

At least I'm still here...... :chuckle

I had a 3.8393 to get in. Since starting in January of 2004 - straight As, but it is much harder to keep straight As in nursing school than it was in the prereqs.

Best of luck to you!

Sarah RN in October 2005!

At this point, all I care about is getting my damn "C" and getting my pin!!! We just had our picture done (hard to believe they ever wore those caps in nursing!!) and it made it feel that much more real! Putting that little white hat on made me realize that in 7 more weeks, I shall find out whether I will have the honor of taking the NCLEX.

Our school is divided into quarters, I did very well in all my prereqs and right now am in the actual nursing program I have had an A- in human bio 1 & 2 last two quarters and a B+ and B in nursing past two quarters. Next quarter (spring) is microbio(pathophysiology) and nursing 111.

Specializes in NICU.

A&P 1 A

A&P 2 A so far (I have two tests and the final to go as well as 2 lab practicals and reports, but I am confident I will keep my A)

Micro - taking this summer

ENG 1 - A

ENG 2 - this summer

MAT 110 (algebra) - A so far (2 tests and 2 homeworks to go, but it'd be hard to mess it up)

PSYCH - A

Elective - A

Humanities - still have to take (prob next summer)

I start nursing core classes and clinicals in August

I graduated from college in 1990 with a gpa of 2.26 (majoring in beer/boys...) I had to beg to the higher powers to let me graduate.

Now, I have completed all of my prereq's with the exceptions of pathophysiology and pharmacology and I have a 4.0

The program I am entering in May is pretty competitive accelerated BSN program at a state school in Colorado. We interviewed with two local hospitals that offer tuition reimbursement in exchange for work commitment after graduation.

I think I am pretty spoiled now, I'm in for a tougher time keeping up this grade average.
