I am creating this forum so other pre-nursing students can gather and share helpful information regarding the application process, specifically for GWC's Fall 2022 entry. Some information I received by (staff removed name) (GWC counselor) today is that GWC's nursing program will accept the highest science grade regardless of repeats/remediation. I was worried because I took Anatomy, Physiology, and Microbiology all the way back in 2012-2013 when I was first starting college, and I failed a few times ? thankfully, previous failing grades will not impact your eligibility in receiving the highest points in the multi-criteria (just get those A's ?).
Additionally, she informed me that if science grades are older than the recency requirement (e.g. GWC has a 7 year recency), then schools will not consider these past grades (even if you failed, like in my case) in the application process.
This was a HUGE sigh of relief and hopefully it eases anyone else who might be in a similar situation.
p.s. (staff removed name) was referred to me by one of GWC's nursing professors. She did inform me that in the past, GWC used to average the science grades, but this is currently NOT the case (hopefully they don't change anything in the upcoming months).
How was your first semester of the nursing program?
Sorry for the late reply. It was fast, furious, overwhelming and fun at times and even all at once depending what was going on. Some handled it better than me, so not everyone will have the same intensity or feel everything I did. Luckily, I have a good cohort and a stable home base so I was able to adapt to it. That said, my entire cohort made it and we are a diverse group, so do not worry. If you stick with the program and put one foot in front of the other, you will make it through your first semester as well. Is there something more in particular you wish to ask (ex: clinicals, first week, first exam, etc?).
For those of you who attended Orientation, I'm really sorry I missed you. My family tested positive for COVID the day before and I didn't want to become an infection point. I hope you had a productive orientation and that you consider joining the CNSA mentor program. If you have questions, post here or ask your mentor if you sign-up for the mentorship program.
Does any GWC student have any experience with the clause-enrollment program at CSUF or Grand Canyon and know if it actually takes another year after completing your ADN to get your BSN?
