grades for nursing program

Published

I am currently finishing up my undergrad in another major and plan on attending a 1 or 2 year program to get my bachelors in nursing. My concern is my grades, however. They are definitly not the best, though i have never failed anything, I know my capability is greater. My question is because i had personal issues at the start of college- namely my father passing away- do you think a program would base my application soley on my grades, or would they take that in to consideration.

Thanks!

Thanks everyone for your input. I have seen a few BSN programs that will except my GPA, but if i werent to get in to any of those, is an ADN also GPA based? or do they mostly look for completion of pre reqs

ADN programs vary. Mine is based on completion of the pre-reqs with Cs or better. However, in many cases the students who struggle to get a C in A&P or psychology wash out easier. All nursing programs are built on a&p, so it helps to know it and do well. Some students take it twice to ensure competency.

And i'm not saying all students struggle, Some do well but others not so well.
