Hello all, I am starting RN program this fall and I know it will be hard so I am going to strive to just pass instead of trying to be an A student like Ive been doing. Do graduate programs look at your RN program GPA or is it other factors??
I know all schools are different, but Im wondering if I need to keep getting A's in nursing school if I plan on going for a masters? Is it as critical?

Most look at everything -- including grades. They try to pick the most qualified candidates they can get. If you are trying to go to a very reputable school, there may be lots of competition to get in. However, some schools don't have a lot of applicant for one reason or another and the competition is not as fierce.
Better grades will get you more options.
