I applied to nursing school like 3 or 4 times!!! My GPA was a 3.88. I decided to go finish my bachlors degree in another field then tried again. By then they had changed up how they let people in (decided that just because you have a 4.0 in 4 classes DOESN'T make you the best nurse) and got in. It was tough...and even tougher when I went through nursing school. But I say if you really want it...keep trying!:nurse:

I applied once and got in, it was a BSN program. I heard that less than half of the applicants were accepted at that time, though. I don't really remember my GPA.. something like a 3.7 or so for my first year of prerequisites. I also had some volunteer experience in hospitals (I think that helped).

Specializes in Hospice.

I applied twice. Once in the early 80's, had the GPA 3.8, but the list was so long. Didn't get in. So decided to hit LPN school. Was the best thing I ever did. I gained lots of experience and then decided to bridge in the 90's, it was so much easier. Not saying that RN school was easier, but suppose I had more confidence.
