Graduate Nursing schools with no GRE

Published

Hi,

I'm looking for information on Graduate entry Nursing schools without GRE requirements. I am a Senior in college and my Major is Bachelor of Arts in History & social Science with a Double Minor in Public Health and Asian Studies. I am looking for a Graduate entry Nurse Practitioner school that dose not Require GRE exam. I'm due to Graduate in May of 2016. I am looking for in the East Coast no further than Texas.

About myself, I am a practicing EMT and have been an EMT since 1998. I'm also an Intersex/DSD person who has Kallmann's syndrome and is being taken cared of by a Nurse Practitioner. I'm from Connecticut as well.

Have you searched out all the programs that interest you to see what they require yet? Seems like that would be putting the horse before the cart, IMHO.

Good luck!

Yes I have and I am looking at ones such as Thomas Jefferson University in PA to see if they don't have a GRE requirement.

Specializes in ICU, LTACH, Internal Medicine.

University of Michigan/Flint has no GRE requirements for their MSN and DNP programs except maybe CRNA. UofM Ann Arbor only wants it if candidate's GPA is below certain point.

Both places have average class GPA for graduate programs about 3.7, though, and "highly prefer" bedside experience.

Specializes in IMCU, Oncology.

I have looked at UTA and from what I can tell they do not require a GRE if you have a certain GPA.

Why not take the GRE and open yourself up to more options?

I'm not good at taking the GRE and that math is rusty at the moment.

Also I am taking Epidemiology For Liberal Arts and Introduction To Public Health.

Would that look good for Nursing school

I am also planning on the spring take Microbes And Your Health. Could I use that to

substitute for Microbiology requirement.

What I am looking for is a Graduate Entry Nursing school with nor GRE requirements.

Also what's your opinion on Thomas Jefferson University school of Nursing and Univ of Maryland school of Nursing.

My experience also is that I have been in EMS since 1998 and have been to the

National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, MD as a research patient and have seen

top doctors, Nurses, Nurse practitioners and scientist.

What "looks" good for nursing grad school is to be a nurse. EMT is not a nurse and I can't see that making any difference. Are you saying you want to get your BSN then go on to grad school? I am a little confused.

I want to get my NP and work in the Military, USPHS, FOP or NIH. I don't mind going for my BSN and working as a Flight Nurse for the Air force or as part of a Forward Surgical Team for the Navy. All while working on my NP, later on.

I think OP is looking for a direct entry MSN program that doesn't require the GRE because s/he is a bad test taker and their "math is rusty". At least that's what I've gathered from this thread.

Microbes and health sounds like a liberal arts class and not a serious science course so probably won't count as microbiology pre-requisite.

Being an EMT gives you some skills. Being a patient at NIH gives you perspective. Both will give you adequate material to write a good admissions essay.

I don't think one just walks out of Nursing school and works as s flight nurse. From my research that requires quite a bit of experience.
