How important is GPA?

I had a 4.0 before nursing school and got a B throughout the ADN program, leaving me with a cummulative of around 3.5. I am going to be attending an RN to BSN program BUT once I finish that...how important is my GPA if I want to try and get in to a NP or CRNA program? The schools I am considering ask for at least a 3.0 but admission is competative so I am concerned that the 3.5 might hurt me.

you could always take some graduate courses, chemistry biology etc, which will boost your GPA- scoring an A of course...these programs are very competitive to get into- I'd try to shoot for an A in all further course work....

I think GPAs are important. A 3.5 in my school will have you on the waiting list at list and if lucky you may get in. But honestly, 3.5 is not a bad gpa, depending on the cut-off of your school, you should be able to get in on first try.

The 1 yr program to complete my BSN is 45 credits, so assuming I earn an A in all those courses my GPA could potentially be a 3.75ish.

It is very competitive, but if you have other "stuff" to carry you, it shouldn't be an issue i.e. high GRE, clinical experience etc.,
