I will be applying to nursing school in January and I was just wondering do they look at your overall gpa or just your gpa cumulative from the required classes bc I've taken other classes but it wasn't for nursing .... also once youre in the nursing program what semester or with what classes will you be doing clinicals ? 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Clinicals typically start in the first semester once you're in any nursing program. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Also clinical starts may vary based on program as well. Many will start clinicals 1st term. Mine had skills lab classes and simulations (clinical scenarios but with actors or manikins) first term and then we moved into clinicals in hospital/community settings starting second term. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
