hi kayla, i am not an rn yet, but i have just been accepted into nursing school. the advice that i can offer you is keep your grades up once you're in college. it's pretty competetive to get into nursing programs and some students such as myself had to spend a little extra time to bring up a "decent" gpa. i am not sure how it is in all states, but in florida most students had to have a 3.5 to have a chance to get into the program since it's limited access. every year the admitted gpa can change depending upon the applicants. i just thought it would have been nice to know this starting out.
