On the off chance you stop by again, I'll go ahead and answer.

To even be considered for admission, you'll need a 3.0 GPA or better. Most of the people I know who get accepted are sitting at 3.5 at a minimum. Once you're in, you have to maintain/improve the GPA in order to make it into clinicals -- most are let go around the time clinicals are set to begin.

I'm sure UNCG's nursing program is good but I've had more negative than I have positive.

A heads up thought if you're looking to save time and still get your BSN.

get your ADN -- most programs take 2 years, maybe 2.5.

Then get into a 1-year RN-BSN program such as the one offered at WSSU.

Time is money.
