Low GPA and NP school

Published

Hi guys. So I have not even started nursing school yet and I have one year of pre reqs left before I can even get accepted into the BSN program. But just super curious, there are a couple of MSN programs I have looked into and they both require a 3.0 GPA in the last 60 credit hours of undergrad. If I made below that requirement in nursing school and wanted to eventually get my masters, what could I do? It isn't like I could retake any of the undergrad nursing courses, right?

Oh I see. I know GPA for pre-reqs matter for getting into nursing school. I wasn't sure if they averaged both pre-reqs and nursing GPAS for NP programs. The masters programs I was looking at specifically required 3.0 in last 60 credit hours, so I was assuming they would just look at GPA for nursing school? But no, I don't think it's going to be a cakewalk by any means. I plan on making the best GPA I can for getting into nursing school, and in nursing school. I was really just curious.

I think getting into nursing school itself is far more competitive than getting into NP school. There are more NP programs online now a days.
