Lpn/rn

I didn't but I'd been an LPN for over 10years at the time at a community college!

I attend a private college (graduation Sept 7, 07). There was a two-year waiting list at the community college that I attended. I decided to pay more money than wait two years and possibly be accepted to community college.

I have also heard that entering into a private institution is a bit easier than community colleges. I did graduate as an LPN from a community college, but it was hard for many to get in because there are a limited amount of seats and tuition is generally cheaper.

Did anyone have trouble getting into nursing school, and if so what?

Also, is it easiest getting in by private university vs. public?

Nursing schools base their criteira forr admissons according to GPA, overall science academic performance of a passing grade. Most require a least a 2.5 gpa for overall science courses and/or B for some colleges/universities in nursing courses. Yes, it is quite competitive in the area where I live and usually the individuals admitted, have really high GPA, above the basic requirement. I would recommend establishing a rapport with someone who has pull on the admitting process. This will give you a chance hopefully to prove yourself and/or if your gpa is not the best, as compared to other students who are applying.

All the best,

Praise, RN
