2nd Degree Nursing programs...Prior Degree and GPA?

Published

Hello!

Im just curious, all of those applying for the 2nd degree nursing programs, what previous bachelors degree did you have and what was your GPA?

My bachelor's degree is in Secondary Mathematics Education. My GPA was 3.8 something. I've taken other courses since then (pre-reqs for the program I've applied for), so I'm not sure what my cumulative GPA is at this point.

My previous bachelor's degree was in Information Technology. My undergrad GPA was about 3.4, but my pre-reqs for nursing GPA was more like a ~3.8 I believe.

A "B" average is nothing to be ashamed of! Work on getting "A"s in the "easier" (ie., gen ed) classes to raise your GPA. Different schools have different GPA expectations, and a lot of them factor in your life skills as well when you are applying for a second degree program. Just do your best!

Horrible, im in the day program and Ive never had worse teaching in my life. Not to mention the program just got a letter notifying students that the program is in provisional status because only 60% of students pass the NCLex. its sad.

Yikes! Definitely do an NCLEX prep class on your own then. It's expensive to take the NCLEX- you want to pass on your first shot if you can.
