No, this is not for a real school anywhere right now [wipe your brow now, breathe a sigh of relief] ... I just wanted to illustrate ...
... is THIS what the typical nursing school admission profile will look like in a few years? Catalogs and websites all presently indicate GPA minimums in the 2.5 to 3.2 range, yet we all know the candidate pools are furiously presenting averages well above those minimums. Will this continued trend encourage schools to increase their standards??
Coupled with that thought, are students going to become more irate as a result of increased competition? I have already seen one instance of a student publicly (yet unjustly I might add) berate a professor because she was given a B- on her practical, citing a need to get an A to apply for nursing school (um, need she be reminded that SHE has to play a big part in that, and that others DID in fact get A's so NO it's not impossible and NO the professor does not hate you ... is it his fault that you did not know what sides the tricuspid and bicuspid valves are located in the stinky sheep heart full of pins with nicely colored flags? How hard was it to memorize LAB RAT?) ...
Sounds to me like it's gonna get even more cutthroat out there ... I'm just saying ...
