getting into nursing school

Hi,

I know that you need a really high GPA to get into nursing school. But i also hear that you need to have some work experience in a health care setting.

I dont have any work experience...but i did volunteer at a hospital in high school...so if i start to volunteer at a hospital again would that count at some work experience?

Would that give me an advantage of getting into nursing school??

thank you! :)

    It all depends on the program. Mine didn't require or give any extra points for working or volunteering at a hospital.

    My nursing school required that you already be licensed as a CNA before acceptance into the program and have a minimum 80% on the TEAS test.

    Some schools require or prefer students with experience, some don't. Look into it. Mine didn't, thank goodness, since I went straight from high school to college. But regardless, any experience is better than none even if it doesn't count on your admission papers.
