NJ School Nurses

Wondering if anyone got into school for their NJ SCHOOL NURSE CERT with a less than stellar undergrad GPA. If so, where did you go?

i was a goof-off 20 something years ago when I got my bachelors (in a non nursing field). My GPA is low.

when I went back for an associates in nursing many, many years later I did much better - deans list, good GPA.

But.....I'm seeing on NJ school websites minimum GPA requirements (from bachelors) for entry that I don't have. I emailed one school and the response was that the GPA was a state mandate. :-(

ive been subbing for a few months now and finally decided to go back to school and now this. :-(

help? Thoughts? Thanks so very much in advance!

No special cert needed in Texas? I'm jealous.
