    GPA for acceptance????

    jesskidding replied to VWThumper's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think it will hurt your chances, but that's just my opinion. Like I said I just had a 3.2 and was accepted. I would feel comfortable with the 3.47. I had two C's and those were from A&P I...

    GPA for acceptance????

    jesskidding replied to VWThumper's topic in General Nursing

    Since I don't know the school's requirement it's hard to say. I was accepted into my ADN program with a 3.2, but my school uses the TEAS as well. After this semester I brought it up to a 3.6. Most of...

    jesskidding replied to MamaSquared's topic in General Students

    I've been worrying about this too. I start a ADN program this fall and I am hoping I get along with everyone. On the other hand, I have to remind myself that I am not going to nursing school to make...

    Mouth to mouth without barrier?

    jesskidding replied to Southern Magnolia's topic in General Students

    I have been asking myself the same question. I have decided to buy a barrier to carry around with me just in case I am ever in this situation. Personally, I wouldn't want to do CPR on anyone without a...

    Should I retake the Teas?

    jesskidding replied to pawprints's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    Am I setting myself up for failure?

    jesskidding replied to pinkpega's topic in Pre-Nursing Students
